anagrama Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 The main difference I see between DP and AA is that at DP you don't get 20 different people making snide comments every time AA is mentioned somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares. 963423[/snapback] Someone needs to come up with an corollary of Godwin's law for videogame boards...something like: "As an online discussion involving videogames grows longer, the probability of an accusation being made that someone is, or is acting like, a fanboy approaches 1."

Jasoco Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Ugh, I don't see why you are all fighting. I for one visit DP, AA, GA all the time. GeekPub, RetroNintendo even GameSpot Forums. I don't care. If they're talking games, I'M THERE! Stop teh fighting, mommy and daddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Franzman Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I don't go around bashing DP at every opportunity, but I'm not a member there and I don't visit DP very often - I find the graphic design and color scheme extremely unpleasant. I don't think I've ever even had more than a brief glance at their forums. AA looks good, is easy on my eyes, and even works well with my odd display configuration (1280 x 1024 with fonts sized to 150% under Windows 98SE's display settings - the font resize breaks many website layouts which use absolute positioning or pixel-based element sizing).

I don't think I've ever even had more than a brief glance at their forums. That you've never had more than a brief glance is obvious.. since it's entirely possible to change the skin there to something less garish. Does the attached DP screenshot remind you of a certain Atari forum you're currently browsing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Does the attached DP screenshot remind you of a certain Atari forum you're currently browsing? 963599[/snapback] I use that skin (subsilver) too. But when you open a thread, you will notice the difference. Especially the sometimes very huge sigs IMO heavily distract from the content. I never understood what they are good for.

Does the attached DP screenshot remind you of a certain Atari forum you're currently browsing? How do you change the skin? And is it possible, like here, to turn off avatars and sigs? Those things are annoying as hell (to echo TJ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can turn off avatars and skins.. I think the "MSSimplicity" skin turns off everything except smilies... Just go into the profiles page, and under the "Board Style" dropdown, choose your preference. That being said again though.. with all the attacks on their boards and with them not really having the time or expertise to deal with it at the level it needs to be, who knows how much longer the forum will last in this state until it needs a complete overhaul. We'll see.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
