I started out with VB for the purpose of building a gaming site. Gaming sites are for some reason most usually always dark.
A fellow designer once told me he thought the reason for gaming sites having dark themes/styles was because most gamers did their gaming at night. This is true in my case so I can't dispute it.
The top two games in the first person shooter category BF3 and COD cast very little white light across your desk. So, an active night of gaming may involve several instances of visiting your favorite gaming site or if you are like many and belong to a gaming clan. Most all gaming clans have web sites and it seems the great majority are dark.
There would be to much eye shock (contrast) coming out of a game just to interact with a gaming site that was light or white. Make sense?
