SO after many days of hitting google up to find this board I just checked to motd on the server and found it. And i have to say, although the topics here are pretty kewl the board itself is kinda bland. I was just wondering if there was anyway to change up the color scheme a little, with some images of tf2 stuff spodin and such. Forgive me if this is impossibly hard or something and im pooring salt on some wounds, but i'm incredibly newbish at this kinda stuff and my eyes are just dying from the plainness. Oh and hai everyone  |

Sora's working on a better forum. One without ads.
And complex backgrounds hinder readability.

Speaking of, I have a first draft of the site design done, but I'm still talking with the rest of the mods about the logistics, so I don't want to show off something that can't be delivered. This summer has been hellish for me in terms of being interrupted every time I should have a free moment, but I'm still aiming to get this up ASAP. <3j00~

It's not so much the "bland"ness as it is the whiteness. White is the most attractive colour to the mind (in that the brain gives it the most focus) so an entirely white page with a little black feels spacious, empty, bland, uniform and painful. Try a dark background with light coloured text or dark background with white posts and dark (brownish?) text or something, I dunno. But the white has to go.
EDIT:
Valve has the right idea. A dark grey background with light blue, light grey and grey-yellow text is the way to go.
