I feel like it needs some sort of update in terms of how it looks. The place is pretty dead anyways so may as well have fun with it.

I am going to mess with some stuff. So if something looks different or isn't working properly, you know why.

If you have any suggestions or ideas, feel free to post them.

With how all the font and everything is set up, I would have to change everything and I do not plan on doing that. I want to keep it dark. The group colors and such are setup to be on dark colors.

2.3 allows for that. Problem is, variations SUCKS. I hate it. Mostly because there isn't full creative freedom. Light variation affects dark variations.

For example, my website had opacity on dark skins. Same goes for some sites that have Light accents. I do that to make the website(s) look sophisticated. But when I upgraded to 2.3, I attempted variations... and I don't actually like how their implementation went. So, you get the skin up, and you edit your variations - you edit Light, right? But if I change Light to have opacity, it kinda affects black styles in a way that distracts dark variations.

I really wish xenforo.com listened to their customers in community forums. Sigh.

I like variations on paper, but execution is poor. And they're fighting against their customers by saying "why would you do that to your visitors?"

Bitch, some people like fucking DARK. SOME PEOPLE like light! God! Why is that so fucking hard to understand!?

I understand the innovations they're trying to implement, but the way its done is poor. There's no way to make a variation like the "main" skin. You need a plugin for that.

Their idea to to make variations change only on either the clock, or the OS you're using.

I use a theme so that wouldn't matter anyways.
 
F.Y.I. for anyone else that wanna know: They're setting variations for 3.0, which they said isn't far off. I hope that it is as sophisticated as I envision it to be. We waited for about 3 years to get to this point. (2.3 being released.)

I have not updated since 2022 so if I have extra cash, I will update it when that comes out maybe.
