Alright so some of you like it some hate it, So here it is, more less if you like it good don't thats fine.
Post your comments about it here SO I Can read them and in the end IF you all don't want it the old one will go back up and can find a new one and have a vote on it. Though if that happens will be a bit longer for the new skin to be applied since there is a bit work need done to it. (LOTS OF CODING CRAP AND FINDING RIGHT SPOT FOR SHIT)
SO with all that said start ranting/commenting or what ever
DARKO IS OUT, its my daughters first BDAY, later all.

It hurts my eyes. A lot. Like. I can't look at the site without getting a headache. So, it would be nice if it changed back. It also doesn't give us a word count. Or tell when people are online from the thread. It also messes up some templates with the I don't know what that is, but it does. I think we should look for a new skin, and then we should put it to a vote for the entire site.

So, I'm another one on the side of dislike. Sorry. But I'm just going to list a few things that bother me. Okay, 1. There is no word count. And sometimes I'm doing posts where I'm on a device that doesn't have word. This wouldn't matter to me so much if word count wasn't a rule, so I think its important to have on the site. 2) I think either some of the coding is off or something. like here. Why are some things different colors than the other, like different shades of purple or whatever. Its confusing to me, let a lone a new member who we are trying to appeal to here. and here... The colors are different. Why? That just bugs me, and again its confusing. 3) I wish that the background was still the same color as the old one, just for the sake of people's graphics. Because if we stick with this I have to redo a lot of mine, plus some I've made for other people, and its just annoying. 4) And honestly... I just find the color scheme physically unappealing. I think the colors don't blend well together, and its just not pretty in my opinion. Which clearly this is a personal thing. A lot of the colors look funky with like the cliques too. Which I think turns people away. I dunno, I just really don't like it. I know you guys wanted to bring people in with it, but I just think the old layout was more appealing and prettier. I agree with Anna too, I think it should be something that a good majority of members are happy with. Because keeping the members we have seems more important to me than getting new ones.

So, I'm another dislike, but only with a few things.
I find that the colouring is fine, to a degree. I like the darkness of it, but I think some of the sideboards need to be changed. I also think that, if we are going to stick with the new skin, at the very list the admin's colours need to be changed, as admins become invisible ninjas. I do like the idea of having a new layout/skin though, as I was never all that fond of the old one and I know we'd had that since 2010, at least, when I joined. Other than that... well... yeah.

I don't like the skin at all. I can see that you changed it so I could see what character I am logged in as but I still prefer the old one. Nothing personal, I just liked the feel of it better. The color is pretty depressing and the way that the clique color is against the skin you can't see them very well. Sorry if this offended anyone. I guess I just like Daze the way it was.

Just an FYI Star, were going to change the groups and the colours as well. However, we can show you guys new skins and we can go from there with colours.

Wait, why are you changing the cliques? What else are you guys changing..? I'm not trying to be rude but shouldn't we have a say in some of this?

As the administrators of this site, we have been brainstorming. We're not making it some vampire site, no worries. We're expanding.

I know. I'm just worried that if you guys "expand" you'll end up losing more then you gain. I'm not trying to be mean or anything or step on anyone's toes. I'm just saying if the cliques are changing does that mean that we're going to have to have to change our characters too?

Uuuuuhhhh, no. Your characters will NOT be changed. If you've been here as long as Anna, Darky, or myself have been, your characters graduate. When they graduate, there's nothing for them to do. We want to add college, travel and townlife for graduates. Townies and college kids will be added. It makes it so that more characters can actually do things.

I guess that makes sense. Sorry, I guess I just like knowing what's going to happen to the site. Not because I'm nosy just because I love being able to write and I love this site.

Like Mitch said, We are keeping the same thing, everything will be the same. The Skin Idea was something we though might be good and the layout did look good in a preview. The thought was to give a little new to the skin, which looked like didn't go well, not a big deal though.
With the new clique groups it just going be High School, College, And Townies. People are not going be labeled as what they are but who they are(again High school, College and Townies) Since lot of them ain't even close to what the clique. We do need to wait for Rei to add the groups however so won't be for a bit We want the ones who have grads to be able to use them and not have to delete them since they can't use them. Like for me I have Shayde and really there isn't much you can do with a guy who to use you need to act as he never graduated but you would rather they did. This will also allow others to have least have a char around their char age to rp with without it seemly wrong. Most thing will happen is that High school students won't have access to The clubs, but in the end have a teen club where they can go but no alcohol will be served.
Few boards that have no use be deleted, ( Cell, AIM, Character database) Since its just a waste of space. As well as all claims and character applications will be moved into one section. Just more places to rp with be added and some boards will be moved. We Want people to be able to Rp more with their character, even the ones with a teacher doesn't have much people to rp with and sometimes a rp with a student seems...wrong since lot of the time it ends in a teacher and student making out scandel

First of all, I love the ideas of having the three new groups, especially as it really makes the college site a sister site, and again I'd love a new skin but I just don't feel that this one is quite right. However, you may want to keep the highschool kids still the main focal point, as the name of the school is the Highschool daze, but I'm assuming you already knew that. You'll probably need to add housing for the teachers and college kids, which is a good idea in itself, and... yeah. I like those ideas. Plus, it'll make colour coding for the cliques easier, as you won't have all your rockers and emotionals the same colour, since the cliques are basically disappearing (from what I understand). I like it.

Housing is what we worked out. And your money your character has will help get them a better place, as well as what you will use towards a car for your character. More less people will get an average place and to get the better place will cost you, and even more promote you to actually rp with that character and it will take away from that everyone is having a beach house and driving a jaguar convertable
