Mmhm. I really do like the colour, and like I said before, am planning on using this theme as long as possible.
You did a fantastic job Belle. :D Thank you.

O.o I don't blame you. I'd blame whoever doesn't allow you to do other themes... Your headers are beautiful, its just the theme that really can't be remedied.

You sometimes try to be mature. I never do, so that's why I just am allowed to go. :yes:

But yeah, it was rather frightening... Being stuck with the normal theme really scares me because it doesn't show what I would like/expect a forum style to show. It's pretty enough, but it just needs some tweaks yet that have not been considered, so that's why I use AcidTech.

Seeing as it has been threatened before that all the AcidTech styles would be removed, I think we do have the the right and reasons to protest. We had no idea it was just a technical issue, the board styles could've just been removed without any notice to the rest of the forum. Our rights to a choice of board style was being removed, and being Americans, we have the right to freedom and free speech which means protesting against the over-bearing rule of authority. Maybe it's because you all claim to be dictators and seem to say you'll do what you want. With names/attitudes like that, we live in a constant fear of you doing what you think is best without feedback from the forum. But that's a whole different issue. xD

I apologize for being rude, and hope you realize we don't hate the normal board because of the artwork. xD (Why you would think that is beyond me) But I just hope the ruling authority understands the AcidTech boards are in use, and decides to keep at least one so there is variety for those who prefer it. Thank you!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but does the ToO not also automatically change styles based on the season? I'm also on a large American Girl board that does the same thing. I thought it was par for the course.

Oh no, my post was meant to address both of you. Your constant complaining in this thread and the other one is quite frankly obnoxious.

And to clarify, I'm not upset that you're complaining. If I were in your shoes, and the only theme available was AcidTech, I would be complaining too.

What I am not okay with is the obnoxious over hyping of your complaints, and your constant degrading of this theme.

It's one thing to politely state your opinion. Say how you like the other theme better, ask the administration to keep it. It is another to do what you are doing.

We get it. You don't like it. You like AcidTech. However, the decision to move away from AcidTech was not mine or SirWhit's. So your over dramatic rants do nothing at this point except anger us.

I hate to break it to you, but this isn't a democracy. Jacob is the one in charge, and we listen to him. We make decisions that we think are best, and do actually ask the opinion of the forum a lot more than many other forums I've been on. You don't really have much basis to complain. Plus, we are the ones in charge. You can say why you think we should change something, but that doesn't mean we have to. We are not elected officials.

Hmm, I do wonder. It's not like people have been complaining about it for months and months despite all the hard work people have put into it, and you never have anything nice to say about it, only degrading comments and complaints. That really is a conundrum.

Just going to pop in and say I really don't care about this whole style thing, so don't include me in this.

That wasn't what I was complaining about. I logged in and saw it had changed, but only freaked out when I couldn't find an option to change it back. The ToO has kept that option available. And I realize that not being an option was a mistake, but for a time I didn't know that.

It wasn't meant to be mortifying or offensive, just dramatic.

You should have set it yourself upon registration? That's how it usually works.

AIOWiki is also down; I'm getting kind of tired of these issues. I hope Shadowpaw fixes it soon.

Yeah, that would be nice.
