I decided to let the URL/hosting die on the tragically-delicious main site as it was just a money pointless money sink at this point. A sideeffect was that I forgot the custom icons were hosted there as well as my avatar and crap...WHOOPS!
Anyways, I was thinking about revamping the board to easier to read colours, maybe putting general discussion at the top seeing as that's like 80% of what gets used here (The rest being comics and anime which I'd put at the top as well)
Might take suggestions for new icons as well. Suggestions for an icon to use whenever someone makes a piss-poor post from a mobile device would probably be pretty useful. ;D

Moving the most used ones up the screen is great for my lazyness!
My only suggestion is to not go any darker in terms of text background than the current grey. Other than that, colour scheme doesn't much matter to me.
Oh wait, one more. The text size of links within the message board (for page number and the hierarchy) are slight small for a touch device. This is completely self-serving to me. Although maybe there's an option in my account settings. I'll take a look.

Not a bad idea at all.
Are you thinking off all new icons? Might make old post read off. If someone tagged with an Angry Scott and is now a _____.

Yep, moving the most important ones up seems good to me. Perhaps add forums for video games, movies, and/or tv. As for icons... Macho Man Randy Savage please!

True, but I don't think there's a wide range of new users reading old threads. If the new logo reads simply "tragicd"...what should be beside it that gets the thumbs up from you guys and is representative of the board? A shark maybe? (shark thread is one of my favorites anyways...ha) |

I don't think i have any control over that in particular but I will recommend the proboards app for both iphone and android if you have either of those mobile os's There's a lite version, but it's worth the price for full IMO www.proboards.com/mobile |

Yeah, i'm thinking ultra legible text area (like black text on white) maybe change the pink to a yellow or goldish color. Depends how it all shakes out. I think the main point is just to do a facelist and increase ease of use. Probably won't happen all at once. No one panic is they see gradual changes  |

It seems that maybe they dropped their touch support from beta 3.5 to beta 4.0/5.0 development. Edit: touch gestures are disabled by default in new versions of firefox. Because that makes sense [/sarcasm] |

I say burn it down and start from scratch. A large part of me doesn't like this. We've documented years worth of foolishness and awesomeness on this thing. But a small part of me also would be OK with a compete roboot if it was for technical or featured based upgrades. If you reboot, you can also pick a new board name. caderascorner. |

Or do a DC reboot only to come back in a year with all of the old posts |

I'm sure if we all contributed twenty bucks we could outsource having someone manually copy over every post to the new board.  |

(shark thread is one of my favorites anyways...ha) A robot shark with laser eyes and a saw blade for a dorsal fin. And if you zoom a million times into the laser eye, you will see a cameo appearance of Totoro. |
