New Skin

[mards]

Just like to say WOW! about the new skin! still getting use to it but its good.
what does everyone (or anyone out there...anyone at all) think of it?

[SaveTheOC]

Haha, thanks for the feedback Mards.

I think the new skin is cool, the old one was a bit too dark and old so I thought some change would do us some good.

Im working on getting this place active again and getting some fresh posts on here again, so hopefully the new skin and some self promotion will help a little

Nice skin, and nice banner. I was gone quite a while so I never remarked the banner had changed. I hope to be more active on these forums.

[SaveTheOC]

^ There wasn't really a banner on the last skin, so this one is basically new.

Cool, cant wait to see you around

[mards]

Well from the looks of things, the new skin, and that delightful little email we all recieved has done the trick (for now at least), the board is a lot more active than ive seen it in a long time, Well done!

[SaveTheOC]

Yeah, it is alot more active than it's been in a long time. I kind of abandoned it for a while but now im not going to give up on promoting it, I like it when it's this busy.

hey, like the idea of this, but the blue hurts my eyes, hard 2 read

[Dark_Memory]

Not me but I have to agree my screen is on dark so it seems less bright.

[mards]

lol i always find changes of skin hard to read at first, but i find after a while ill get use to it.
personally my favourite skin has always been the original skin the fox oc forum had, you know the grey and orange, cause it felt so oc like. and then they changed it to white ad i was like wow to bright lol.
ok i just re-read over that and its totally random, hope it makes sense soz

[Dark_Memory]

I don't know the skin you were talking about.

[mards]

if you went on the fox oc forums, you'll remember the white and teal background they had when it closed right? well if you were around before that skin came around, it had a skin that had a grey background, and orange outside bits (like the ocaddicts skin now) it was the skin for season 1 and 2, and the white and teal skin was for the final two seasons, the new skin ended up as another thing symbolizing the fall of the oc to me.

Not that new skins arent good, i love this one, its really livened things up, brought new life into the board. but on the fox forum, they changed skins, when ppl started leaving and the show started dieing.

[SaveTheOC]

I don't think I was at the FOX OC Boards that long ago, when I signed up everything was just white, so obviously they had just changed it before i registered.

This sking did hurt my eyes aswell for the first day, but i've gotten used to it. it's so hard to find a nice skin, especially with some orange in it.

[mards]

^^ Ye around the time of the skin change on fox, a lot of the ppl who ahd been on for ages left, and a lot of new guys were joining, so its not that surprising

Ye after a little while on the board you adjust to the brightness, and over all its a good feel. hey its blue and orange, blue for the ocean, and orange for orange county what more could we want in the skin lol

[SaveTheOC]

Which other OC board do you post on now??

[mards]

the other oc board I'm on is OC Addicts (www.ocaddicts.co.uk)
