    yeah... I'll still keep my birth year a secret on this and stare in awe at the age range in this forum.

    Well, it's impolite to ask a lady her age, so nobody could blame you anyhow.

    I, personally, only hesitate to enter the year because there are very few older people here. And when I visited the largest (and only national) anime/manga convention in Finland a week ago, and was surrounded mostly by 14 years old girls, I felt myself really ancient and, what's more frightening, somewhat out of place...

    Edit: I just noticed that with the age tab added, when you browse the list of forum members the tenth green block will be moved to a second row in the current forum layout. It looks a bit... unaesthetic.

    I certainly wouldn't mind seeing pics of them both cosplaying some anime couple(s). But if memory serves Psyke wasn't exactly positive about the prospects of getting his wife to cosplay.

    Easy solution for this, quit pulling punches and lose some of those cute green boxes. You know you want to give some people here a piece of your mind.

    I was expecting some more drastic changes to the forum to spice this place up. How about changing the layout or at least the color scheme? Maybe use some of that wasted gray space to the sides for advertising or some cool animation or links to stuff. Really it's the post content that makes the forums, so I don't care what it looks like, but I'm trying to keep relevant to the thread topic, when all I really wanted to do is call out Kraco.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    The layout is relatively new, so its unlikely to change anytime soon. And links/animation at the sides will just be tacky and amateur.

    No need to worry about age Psyke, you are who you are. Besides I will stick around so theres always some dude older than you and I refuse to grow up or give a crap what others think of my interests or my age.

    I'm pretty sure this layout has been here for almost two years. Basically, around the same time we ditched Fusetalk.

    I also complained about the narrow margins when we first made the switch. It's understandable that this layout is suitable for lower resolutions, but it's safe to assume that nobody is running 800x600 nowadays. I think it's time to make the pages just a little wider so there's less vertical scrolling needed for every page. The profile pane itself takes up 1/4 of every post.

    One major difficulty in making the used space in the layout wider would be the fact the banner images are made for this particular width. So, they would need to be remade or replaced.
