[News] Changing the gaming forums

I think you should have a designated Console War Thread. It gets a lot of people fired up and passionate and provides an unlimited amount of hilarity for everyone else.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

What the fuck? These new icons are a fucking joke, I cant even read them. Speaking of which, why should I have to read an icon in the first place? What maggot did this?


DS is the only slightly acceptable one, oh and General.

Here's a fucken idea: Just use the real console logos. Everyone knows the Xbox, Dreamcast, Playstation, Gamecube, Super Nintendo, DS etc. logos when they see them.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm wearing them.

I know Ence put effort intot hem, And they looked fine in his journal where they weren't squashed down and unreadable.

Also I still need to know why we should have to read icons, talk about defeating the point. Colour coding threads would be more intuitive than this.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

No no I like icons. I like Pictures.

My point is well, Oh your computer, does it says "Folder" in teh fucking folder icon? Does it inform you "Document" in the document one and does Word inform you taht it is infact Microsoft Word in the icon? NO! BECAUSE IT IS AN ICON Picture represent the words, we dont needs the words written in some non consistant font in tiny unreadable writing sitting there next to the icon.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

General is the only one rthat looks right.

I think it's more a "I'm using GFF Lite theme" problem.

If that theme is going to be there, you have to cater to those of us who use it.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well, if you're using the lite skin why would you favor these images over text? Not saying you can't do that sort of thing, just wondering why.

Christ sakes, talk about missing the whole damn point.

This isn't about whethor I like these icons or not. My point is; if you are going to use icons MAKE THEM WORK. Right now they look terrible and distorted on 50% of Gamingforce's skins. This is probably something worth fixing.

My second, less relevent point, is that is it stupid and redundant to include text in the icon. It defeats the entire point of the icon and takes up unnessesary space. I'm NOT saying to scrap a "text only version" or whatever you claim Guru requires. I think a text alternative to icons would be a great idea. What is NOT a great idea is having text and icons as part of the same thing. It is just flat out stupid.

I could talk about the fundamental design flaw in having different sized and styled text in every bloody icon too but I think this discussion is already beyond the majority of you. Not to mention irrelevant since we shouldn't have text in the icon to begin with.

Such wit, such crucial imput to the discussion. Is this how promotion to moderator status is acheived? No wonder the GFF intelligence prize is named after you what with these flagrant displays all over the place.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

how about 25 x 25 px?

And at least I did make a contribution with my shiny example. I brought this matter to staff attention. In my own inflammatory way.

FELIPE NO
