    I do apologize for my earlier aggression. I don't respond well to stubbornness, which was what I interpreted your attitude as. And I'm aware of your preference, but that alone is not a reason. I like the color blue more than I like the color black, but I don't format my posts blue. Because I don't think that's relevant to these forums, or any forums, which are a matter of expressing thoughts and opinions on a game. Its entire purpose is of an intellectual nature, not a cosmetic one. I just can't follow the reasoning that lead to your decision, but now I admit I have thought too much into it. I guess there was no further reasoning beyond a design choice.

    Also, did they implement messaging on these forums yet? I thought they weren't gonna do that. And if they did, I don't know how.

    i dont like the color much myself that you use, but id be willin to deal with it as i usually am unless the color nearly matches the background and makes it unreadable. but as i said before its the tiny text thats prolly the worst of it. my lcd is at the back of my desk there so its a good 2-3 feet from my eyes. so other than just leanin right up to the screen there is nothing to do but squint to read what u say. I wish i could jsut decide "if i cant read it i aint gonna bother" like some do, but i really do try to read every post in a thread im checkin so it is a bit frustrating to see posts formatted like yours have been lately.

    A somewhat easy fix to it is just click "Reply With Quote" and read it that way, should show just like normal in the box except you gotta read around the [blah blah] boxes.

    It's a bit concerning to me actually, I don't remember this many people other than Dragoy and I with formatted posts. Hence why I kept responding with " a year ago", because it was really only us who really bothered. s:

    I've seen people choose other color combinations, but that's the beauty of it, you can pick it and enforce it system-wide. My Apple ][ I had as a first computer came with a green monochrome monitor, and I remembered that I didn't get headaches with it, so that's what I set my system to. One of my friends like more blueish text on black, and another likes yellow on black. I picked the color that worked for me after tinkering with it a bit, and I've been on that color scheme since 2005.

    Either way, a dark background with bright text is much easier on the eyes when your screen is backlit. Paper isn't backlit, lightbulbs are. Reading black on white on a computer screen is like reading off a lit lightbulb all the time.

    Sure, if the lightbulb operates at 1W. And even that is probably too high. A black screen is still backlit (in virtually all cases, depending on the hardware) and can give you headaches just as well. It's a matter of tolerance which varies from person to person and you can actually adapt to it so it doesn't ever bother you again in your life. Enough with the propaganda already.

    Your intention was to troll a little, which attracted trolls. All I have seen so far in this thread is a lot of sand being blown into private locations, and it is continually amusing that people can get this bent out of shape over the colour on an internet forum

    Ever tried Ctrl+mouse-wheel? xd
    Sort of the same effect, but kind of backwards to leaning towards the monitor.

    I already kind of miss Modoru's font, as I did/do kind of like it heh. :S
