I am not picking on anyone, just stating the facts. And FYI I didn't design my whole forum, so you can't go blaming me. I could say the only thing that could look copied was the postbit images, but SD has viewed my site and never told me off, so then how are they ripped? There are significant differences you don't even bother to look for. :rolleyes:

And yes, some things are individual. You don't see a Orange scheme on my forum, although I see that at like every second forum I view here. It's okay to get SOME ideas from another forum. But not most. I'm just suggesting, not critisizing you. But no, you jumped to colclusions and put words into my mouth which I don't appreciate.

There is no sense in arguing this over and over, no-one is getting anywhere fast and it has greatly fallen off the topic of the original subject.

There are way too many graphics forum, to say there is not is a lie, but if anyone would like to state that there is not enough, go right ahead.

As for nit-picking and such, if you do not want comments, do not post, it is as simple as that. If you post here you are likely to get told that your board is unoriginal or that someone does not like it, deal with it, it is the internet and people are going to say what they feel at the time of looking at your website and/or preview.

On to Tony's board, if you find it un-original, talk to the main designer of the board, I mean it is pretty easy to find out who it is by looking at the design close enough, if it is not apparent, ask Tony....

Some people need to learn that the 'net is just that, the 'net; you can talk what others say about your board (good & bad) or just not post.

Thank you for clearing this up SD. :)

We just all need to take critisism, and not go arguing with the person giving it out. Your not going to just get praise. I've gotten critisism before and I took it. You don't go shouting like they hate you or something. Nothing is personal here. I'm just trying to give out some advice, thats all.

ok - thank you for cleraring this up, and im sorry i over reacted

Thats okay, all we want is for you to understand the situation. :)

Im Pretty Original with my styles and dont really see a need for graphics.... Pretty much like everyone said theres to many Graphical Sites out there and its Unoriginal and eventually gets boring to go to all these sites and see the same Old Thing.... your site i have seen alot that look like it not too many color wise but Graphic wise Yes But it Looks Nice Anyway

Having a mix of graphics and design is the best. Don't overdo it with one and leave out the other.

I would suggest a dark blue/navy blue with a sorta neon faded green with white and grey. That would look nice. Um also, I have deletec my forums and I have reuploaded them. Also, I have added all the nitty gritty changes on it. But it is still the default vB colors. I am going for a greeny orange sorta scheme. It will look nice, hopefully.

Another thing, isnt this about xiwix?

@cypher - why not just have a bg image instead of left and right images? Thats what I am doing. If not, your style looks nice.
