Sorry But DF has lost its Soul - 10-12-02

Sorry Garggoyle but with the new look of DF I think you have just drained what was left of its soul...


It now looks like some trendy 'Techno New Age' board and not the once strong Dark board that it once was. It looks it is trying to be too flashy and eye candy but ends up being confusing and looking half-done.

Sorry if you do not like my critism but I have been here some time and grew to think of this place as a second (and even some times my first) home.

Seems I have no where to go now.

I don't think it looks half done or really that techno. Reminds me of quake 3 for some reason. I donno, I kinda like it. Not bashin ya or anything, just conversing.

I have no opinion on how pretty it is. I just know it's hard to read anything.


When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.

believe me, this isnt the first time that df has changed in looks when i have been here, and that is all that changes the looks. people are still gonna bitch and whine like they always did.

i have to say though, i prefer the way it looks now to its previous look. but still the original darkness will always be the best.

I am no Bitching andas I said this Board is Gargoyle's property to do with as he pleases but I DO feel like I have had my second home destroyed.


I have very little to cling onto and today I lost a little bit more

did i say you were bitching? no, but in general df is nothing but a big bitching fest..if you hadn't of noticed that's what most conversations revolve around, either that or they are running around hugging an humping each other.

and like i said, nothing about this forum has changed except its looks..its still df. it still has all the same problems as before.

*shakes head* I'd come to this board if it were pink. Color is irrelevant.

its not the color that irks me rathe the functionality went from being a 9 to a 5.... it was hard to ead anything, everything was squished together, i had to scroll forever, and it looked very constipated and cluttered. Ill say it looked cooler... but that doesnt make it better. personally i prefer something simple that works well than something flashy that is a pain in the ass to navigate.

I like the old stlye best...but parts of the new version were ok....needs more tweeking so that we aren't stumbling in the dark. I felt like the lights had been turned off and some one rearranged the furniture on me. ~thud......ran into another wall~
It was rather stylish looking, however I couldn't find anything. Maybe if the text was to remain white it would have been easier to see....but some parts of the forum were missing, or well hidden. I did like the black background in the threads....made the pics look COOL! anyway....thats just my opinion....if anyone cares. I think a change would be ok if it was well done.
Lets not be too harsh to Garg.....he is just trying to improve our little home away from home.

Heh, the new has a few things moved about..it's on the right now instead of left.. things like that..

My only problem is the scroll lag now..(i posted on comuters forum about it)

Hell, i'll force my puters to change the colors if they bother me..


A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, con a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
Specialization is for insects!!

amazing how much they look like orchids, isn't it!!
One man's theology is another man's belly laugh.
Money is a powerfull aphrodisiac. But flowers work almost as well.
It is better to copulate than never.

Of all the strange "crimes" that human beings have legislated out of nothing, "blasphamy" is one of the most amazing--with "obscenity" and "indecent exposure" fighting it out for second place.
i'm conspiracies alter-ego.

Little girls, like butterflies, need no excuse.

This sig is the "suggested" 20 lines long..
