    Don't update to the new Vbulletin. We need a poll

    BG knows you're probably gonna do it anyway, but Big Gunns hates it. It just hard on Big Gunns old eyes....plain harder to read. It might have some new bells and whistles, but BG doesn't like the way it looks.

    Constrictors just did it and it hurts the big fellahs eyes to look at it long. Something about the contrast of the letters bothers The Man, The Myth, The legend in his own mind. The color might make a difference also. Constrictors is black and BG's eyes hurt after 1 minute. BG still hasn't said anything to Mikey about it because he knows that Mikey thinks if it's new it's better. BG is curious what his fans think.

    Just because something is new doesn't make it better. You can ask all Windows users about that.

    Anyway....that's the BG's point of view on it. This might be your way to finally get rid of him once and for all.

    We'll have different color templates that you can choose from. It hasn't been that difficult with the colors I've played around with, to read. Letters on a black background are always more difficult and hard on the eyes, IMHO.

    Re: Don't update to the new Vbulletin. We need a poll

    Are you happy with the way the default theme appears on THIS site?

    If so - then you'll be happy to know that we aren't straying too far from what we've done here. I think most dislike dark themes. I know I do - so I get what you're saying.

    But for those who do prefer a dark theme, we have the options available to choose from.

    BG, seeing as you are the Man, Myth, Legend - I will be more than happy to create a custom theme for you and only you. Those who want to be more like you can choose that theme too.

    I'm thinking pretty pinks and purples accented with baby blues might fit your style just right

    New Vbulletin isn't going to cause difficulty reading.

    Poor implementation of it would be the cause. I trust that this site will remain as readable and easy on the eyes as it is now

    This is true, BG doesn't want to disappoint his fans for something so "silly". Although to BG it's not "silly". He hates to strain his sexy baby blues.

    BG has news. He looks dang sexy in pink, and purple is his favorite color. Get right on that for BG.

    BG wouldn't mind. BG always says. Only a real man can wear pink and still look masculine. BG in pink drives his female fans insane....this is why he rarely wears it.

    HMMM. You have given BG an idea. He may need to find something pink for Daytona to prove his point.

    Well BG hopes you pull it off as well as he does....not many do.

    BG has funny pink story.

    He was in a bar a few years back wearing a bright pink T Micheal shirt(old school bodybuilding gear). He was walking next to the bar and noticed an old buddy from high school. BG stopped beside him and waited for him to turn his way. When he did he said "whew...I was wondering who this guy in pink was that was staring at me".

    Im excited about what the update has to offer to be honest... and I dont even use the bp.net theme... I use the Rustaculous theme and have loved it ever since I found it, changing the theme can boost your experience of the sight!
