It's about time, eh? I was going to add on to some old suggestion threads, but hey, it's been such a long time that we've had anything new to this site, that I figured we might as well make this a special announcement. OKAY! Wonder what the new content is? Well, I'll tell you. As of this post, you now have three new forum skins from which to choose. That's right, your lovely and wonderful Triad have worked long and hard hours to get those infernal hex codes "just so," to give each of them a unique feel and nifty little anime theme, and they are all very pretty. Especially the Okami one. It's my personal favourite. But wait, there's more!Within the next week (most likely within the next day, actually), more content will be added, including: - At least 4 new Anime-themed forum skins
- At least 3 new color-theme skins, including a Trueblue special (Hint: it's blue)
- New default skin setting. Hopefully. Seriously, it's been how many years?
- The above includes new custom EAB logos that will be unique to each forum skin.
- Complete replacement of the forum smilies. This will be done on a select few, non-default skins as a test at first. The Domo is back, ladies and gentlemen.
All in all, this week's going to be goooood. See you after the upgrades; ~ Teh Donut

New smiles? Its about bloody time... not that I've been very active in the past few weeks. But why bring back the Domo? I don't remember it being very popular.

No particular reason. Maybe just nostalgia. *shrugs* Also about the "new default skin setting"...it'll still be around as the Classic EAB skin, so those of you who don't want any of these fancy skins can still use it. I'll be leaving that to popular vote. None of the new "Anime" styles will be default, though, only the color-themes. Don't want to kill the connections of people with slow computers. Also after posting, I added one more skin, because I was restless. One down, six to go... One last thing. Custom logos will be done after all skins have been completed, and before the smiley "upgrades." Because I have a lot of other things on my plate at the moment, such as job-hunting, scholarships, class projects, etc., logo design is not the top priority. However, I am cutting out my usual TV and gaming distractions to bring this to you. You hear me? I'm suffering for youuuuu... But hey, if you want to easy my burden, and you're fairly handy with graphics, you're welcome to create some logos of your own. If they fit particularly well, we can use them, and then you can say "I made that!" Sound good?

Hell ya! Domo ftw. Not that I'd use it, but its still got that classic awesomeness that every forum needs lol. ;D Edit: Ya know, didn't even know we could change to skin in the first place. Eh, but the EAB one was nice anyways. I just went thru all of them and the FLCL one is my favorite ^^. Okami one is a bit cute, Cowboy Bebop one really could do with a better pic >>, and the Eureka 7 one was also pretty good. I guess it was just the Cowboy Bebop one I liked the least, and I love Bebop. Thank you Donut <3

*bows*
It's my least favourite too. I'm looking for a better Bebop picture. It's hard, trying to find some that have obvious non-distracting color themes and overzealous use of Photoshop/Fireworks tools, and are actually usable as forum backgrounds.
*Edits* Bebop's updated with a new background. Should be better. I guess. Anywho, there will be time for tweaking later. Time to concentrate on new things.

I gotta say, nice work Donut. I do stuff like this with little appreciation, so I know it's nice to get it from time to time.
I really like the Samurai Champloo skin, but I may be a little biased... just look at my sig.
But to the point, nice work.

Woohoo for Donut! I may never be able to switch from the old default skin just because it's always been there, but I commend you for your hard work, comrade! *salute*

Thanks. That's another one that I'll be revising soon, though. I couldn't figure out the hex codes on some of those background colors that i wanted to use for the forum, but now that I've figured them out, I'm going to tweak it and see if I can get the overall skin to look better. Anywho, so yeah. Working on the Trueblue skin at the moment. Only three more to go once that one's done. Then I can finally eat something.

You haven't eaten anything this whole time? Dude, get yourself a cup of ramen while you work or something.

Heh, even without being partial to Samurai Champloo like Toriji, the Samurai Champloo one is pretty awesome.
Ah, the new Bebop one is definately much better. Nice job ^^

Skins are finished. the three color-theme skins are done. Also, I cut the number of anime-themed ones I was going to do down by two, but really, eight totally new skins is enough for one day. Besides, I've noticed a steady decline in the quality of my work, and I'd rather add those two others late and have them be sexy than rush to get them done today and have them turn out to be crap.
Then again, I have this habit of never again picking up my work when I drop it...
Anywho, on to logos. Lets see if I can't find some inspiration somewhere.
Enjoi, ~ teh Donut

You know what'd be cool? If we had some really awesome artist on our forum that'd be willing to do a title image for the forum with some of our more famous characters posing around it, like Star, Spectral, True, maybe Daristan?
