Keep in mind, the forums themselves aren't 100% finished. What you see now is the base colorscheme - i.e., the canvas - for the forums. The rest of the graphics (buttons, navigation, etc) - the accent pieces - are still being worked on; not to mention, the navbar hasn't been completed yet. The Canvas is monochromatic, as it should be. The Accent pieces, when they come, will be the ornamentation.

Contrasting colors can be nice in moderation, but are visually distracting for something that's supposed to serve as a backdrop for information, such as text on a website. There's plenty of contrast between the various shades used on the site currently, and cooler colors are easier on the eyes. "Bright and vibrant" color schemes used to "hold interest" is a design philosophy suited for a preschool. I should know; I taught preschool. A streamlined, elegant color scheme is best for an adult website designed for communication.

I agree. The forum design is pretty sleek and modern. Honestly, the lighter color scheme gives it a more professional feel than all those dark, tech-themed skins you see floating around.

Specifically, I'm wondering if people are asking about the main site or the forums. If it's the main site, allow me to end this debate once and for all: The current front page is not the final website. It is a temporary splash page until the completed site can be implemented. If it's about the forums, carry on. I personally don't see how they could look any more un-Geocities, though.

And all the text has to be changed to Comic Sans! We can't forget the Comic Sans. Excuse me while I go try to bleach that mental image out of my head.

Perhaps because you're a random, underdeveloped RP villain who needs to freeze an entire city in time in order to give the heroes someone to rescue. Or perhaps you're experimenting with Allomancy and want to see how living for extended periods in a "time bubble" affects the people inside. Or perhaps you're just plain bored. Anyways, back to the matter at hand. This is just me, but I think having control of the size of the bubble would be more fun than the intensity of the time shift. Adjusting it to include just me, or perhaps my entire party, would make a fight really interesting. It also has the added bonus of being able to keep my enemies outside (or inside) the bubble.

Yeah, it'd be hard to make the logo "pop" more than it already does without turning it into an animated gif, I think. And I will shoot myself in the foot before casting my vote for an animated gif for a logo.

Well, the thing is, since it relies on Duralumin and/or Nicrosil, you'd only get that effect for a brief flash. You'd have to have a concentrated effort involving a lot of Mistings and/or Mistborn to get it right.

Interesting. This requires further investigation. When I don't need to be up for class in the morning.

Or Nicrosil-enhanced Sliding, to be fair. Either way, it's a scary mental image.

I thought it was a good fit. I mean.... YARRR! Man the potato cannons!

I'm @kchan323. Not that all that much exciting happens on my twitter, except for the occasional tweet war with Will.

... a link to the Wiki. So community members can actually contribute and all that jazz without putting a link to a bare-bones wiki on the front page of the site. The Coppermind Wiki - Click Here! That is all.

There actually is one on the RP main page. You just have to scroll aaaaaall the way up to see it. I don't think they wanted a link on the front page since the wiki is still a work-in-progress, but having some form of link would be useful in directing others to the wiki to get things done, I think.

AYE! AVAST! *brandishes sword menacingly* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9LFP5QkwJ0&feature=related

Avast ye, Llama dogs! ... wait... what?

Ohhh. Hmm, interesting. Perhaps I'll try it out sometime. I'm mostly on WoW, though.

What on earth is LOTRO?

Achievements? It's a goal of mine to get Explore Azeroth before Cat hits. I guess rolling an alt right now would be kind of pointless, with the huge changes and new races about to come....

Okay, I have to ask. What are Nerdfighters?

I haven't gotten to raid at all. I'm sick of instancing, though, so I'm taking a break to do some questing instead. Nothing like random dungeon after random dungeon to get you tired of playing...

Those look really good! I went ahead and added pages for the magic systems so we can include those with the smaller blurbs on the book pages; that way they're already categorized and ready to go. Good work!

Remember, the wiki is a collaborative effort. I may be the admin, but it's up to all of us to make it great. If you see something that needs to be done, you're free to do it yourself, or you can suggest it here.

Emphasis on semi-functional. It's a bit easier to get around, but there might be some things you still need to do by URL. Remember, most of this was done yesterday, and there's only so much we can do in a day.

But on 17th Shard, staff are staff. Our permissions on the forums might be different, but the staff are all equal. Hence Will's joke.
