I wasn't here for all that long and people around here that the forum used to look different and it's bugging the heck out of me. Can any one show me how it used to look like?

Haha I have no idea. Just felt sorry for this post nobody had replied.

Blah. Im too compassionate.

It was alot more grey and smooth...less bright NEON Blues and Yellows...and not so much harsh contrasts between the background and the sharp, thin light-blue box borders around EVERYTHING, like we have now.

...I liked the old scheme better... I still don't like this one. This one we have now makes my eyes hurt to look at.

New posts were also identified by Blue Full-Moons, while old posts were dark, faded New-Moons.

All I have saved from the old website is some of the MainPage "Splash Page" Art, and the Page headers.

[Note: "Freeborn" was originally going to be titled "Devoured" untill the old script was tossed out the window and was redone from scratch for the "Freeborn" rewrite.

I know many of you were not here back then, so that should clear up any questions about the title on the first Pic. ]

This was from back before "THE PACK" even existed.

This was just a "Focus Group" web-forum for a Low-Budjet Slasher Flic back then. Not the community of Duckie Tossing Werewolf fans that it is today.

Ooooh. Interesting. The colours in the Devoured poster look off though.

That brings me back

I remember the old forum was really light colors, whites, grays or something. And their were a lot less topic thingys to go to. 'Building the Ultimate Werewolf' 'Non-Were Stuff' and 'Website Updates' 'Forum Updates' were the only ones around(I think)

hehe, I'd like to read the original script now

Heh heh, yeah, that brings me back.

I also remember the various forums were all set up in a different way -- and we even had a section devoted to describing the different characters. Obviously the forums have changed since then.

I even remember the time before we had all these awesome Wolf-Smiley edits.

*Hears collective gasp from crowd*

Yes, it's true. We didn't always have these lil' woofers here.

I personally think its time for an update myself.

Vuldari · Post by **Vuldari** » Wed May 10, 2006 8:58 pm

It just crossed my mind...

...I don't even know or remember what the MAIN page of this website looks like any more. I just have the forum bookmarked, and bypass it.

If there was some great new update on the Main page, I would not even know about it untill someone posted a message about it in here...THEN I would look.

*Looks at Main Page*

[Edit: Oh Yeah...Calypso-blue. You have to add "/ultimatewerewolf" to get to the main page. ...and then there is the "Freeborn" page too. ...I remember now...]

Well, I wasn't here when this forum first started, so I can't really complain about what I see here. I wish I could see what the old one looked like, but it really doesn't matter.
Oh, and some updates and changes might be good.

Shadow Wulf · Post by **Shadow Wulf** » Wed May 10, 2006 9:05 pm

How can you say this look hurts you eyes and the colors clashes. I love the look, its the best and most simple I have ever seen.

Anook · Post by **Anook** » Wed May 10, 2006 9:20 pm

yea, I agree with you. I really don't mind this look. The colors aren't too bright. I like that.

Vuldari · Post by **Vuldari** » Wed May 10, 2006 9:27 pm

Too much HIGH CONTRAST for my taste. I HATE the BabyBlue/SchoolBusYellow combo in the color scheme, and NOTHING is smooth and comforting. Everything is harsh.

...I still stand by my belief that EVERYONE ELSE is crazy, and I am the only one who sees how unpleasant this layout looks.

But this is just like it was when it was first changed. Everyone else praises the look of the page, while my Eyes bleed and I wonder what everyone else is looking at.

Not only that, but I remeber noticing that when the layout changed, the buttons and text at the bottom of threads ("NewTopic PostReply...") sometimes gets over-cluttered and the page tree will overflow into two lines instead of just one...but that NEVER happened on the old page.

...And the Dark Red virtical lines in the background (on the sides) are nearly invisable on my monitor...so I "Almost" see them, but not clearly, and my eyes strain trying to focus on them, even though I try to ignore them.

Regardless of what the rest of you think about the current page...I HATE IT. I did when it was first changed...and using it for months and months has not warmed me up to it. I am still not "used to it". I still hate it.

Silverclaw · Post by **Silverclaw** » Wed May 10, 2006 11:13 pm

Something must be off with your computer I think. Theres no 'baby blue and school bus yellows' .Baby blue is a light sky blue shade right? I see different shades of dark blue. Hmmm

Vuldari · Post by **Vuldari** » Thu May 11, 2006 1:16 am

I'm talking about the buttons at the top and bottom of every thread, at the bottom of every post and the yellow "The Pack" and baby blue "www.longlivethepack.com" on the banner at the top of the page.

...and the thin blue borders around EVERYTHING, with black, dark blue, darker blue backgrounds...all under bright white text and white highlights...

PAINFUL CONTRAST

Black and white is one thing, but dark navy blue and neon colors are completely another.

The moderator-patches look sucky, and much too big.

Thats about the only crappy thing I can thing about of this forum.

Shadow Wulf · Post by **Shadow Wulf** » Thu May 11, 2006 7:38 am

Your all just a bunch of babies, the forum is perfectly fine the way it is, Vuldari I think your moniter settings is a bit off or something.

Set · Post by **Set** » Thu May 11, 2006 2:03 pm

I see no neon anything here. Are you sure you're looking at the same forums as everyone else? I have very sensitive eyes, and nothing here makes them hurt, nor does it clash. The dark red doesn't show up at all on this computer. The text isn't even pure white. It's a shade of blue.
