I hope you guys like it, I've been shifting some stuff around last night and I personally think it looks a lot cleaner now. You might notice a few changes that I will try to explain here.

- General discussion and the Pub are merged into General Chat. This is for all stuff that doesn't go in other forums.
- Entertainmant is gone. This can also go in General Discussion from now on. The entertainment forum just wasn't active enough to justify keeping it.
- The RP is gone. Well, it's hidden from the front page view. Makes things look cleaner. There's a link to the new, dedicated RP forum, I did this to keep ichigo's forum look cleaner and therefore (hopefully) more attractive to new people. The old board was kind of big and I figured it might be intimidating to new people :heh:

Many thanks to the people who were in the IRC last night for suggestions and stuff :P If anyone has questions, feel free to ask them here.

I like the new layout. It's much cleaner and easier to navigate. Two thumbs up!

I like it now, last night I wasn't so sure because I had just posted something and hit refresh and *BAM!* the whole forum was different! XD

About the RP, RanTan and I had a battle going on in the old RP. What do we do about finishing it (Probably need to PM RanTan about that, actually....)?

Like I said, none of the data is gone, so you could probably continue the battle in the new RP.

I was a little confused when it changed suddenly, but it was definitely for the better.

Oooh ok. I was freaking when it changed, lol. I thought there was something wrong my computer :heh:. But now I understand. It does look a lot simpler and easier to navigate now.

Darn, my PM limit went down since I don't have Ops here anymore XD

*Goes to clean up so people can actually PM me and I'll get them since I was over the limit quite badly.*

I like the new layout, but the new color scheme is burning my eyes right out of their sockets. I'd suggest something more...muted. Is there a way I can set mine back to pink?

Anyway, good work. I just think the colors are too saturated.

Click "Profile" at the top of the page, then click "Edit Options" under the "Settings and Options" menu, then scroll down to "Miscellaneous Options", there should be an option for Forum Skin, change it to "Ichigo's Pink" then click "Save Changes."

The blue is actually older than the pink :P The pink I made up from the blue one XD

Pink is just a little too girlish and all... attracts too many little girls to the forums who want to talk about sesshomaru or whatshisface and how hot he is (apparently) XD

I miss the pink when I'm not logged in :( Even though I use the blue when I am LOL

I prefer the pink! It just feel unique that other forums don't use it. And I like the pink in this forum! Plus counting that fit better with the word "Ichigo".

I was about to say something along the lines of "I'm not a little girl!" but then I realised I would most likely get a comeback from Neko something along the lines of "yes you are *leans on Spoony*" or "*uses Spoony's head as a table-top*".

You might be small, but you're not the type to start talking about Inuyasha XD

I prefered the pink because it matches with the pink haired girl on the top left corner :X

Well, when I made that thing up there I kinda turned up the saturation.

It would be nice to have any other colours besides from blue and pink

We meant to make a green one - then we failed.

I must say, the forum actually feels a lot more active since changing some things around. I'm not sure if statistically people post more, but we have a lot less empty forums than we used to I think :)

Yeah, I think it's the fact there's less boards so everything's in together.
