Politics and religion discussions are great ways to completely destroy a message board, even if they are gone in to with the best of intentions. Couldn't agree more. It's why generally, they're the two things you don't talk about in public. I've talked politics and religion with members of this board over AIM, and that's where that conversation needs to happen. It's easier that way.

The politics and religion thing is never, ever gonna happen.

As I asked earlier, is there some way we could get a Black Background/White Text Skin again? Something that adequately mimics the old Wrestlecrap Skin? I'm currently Using "Lovecraft's Apt" and while the darker background makes for an easier read, the Dark Green Text is a bit of a strain.

I didn't go through all 27 pages, but I look at it like this (after I've had time to think about it): We've gotten bigger than the site. All the things we find funny or amusing happens pretty much as they happen while on the Forums. Like a guy said before, you can't expect "Shockmaster" type of stuff every week. But, you can't expect to recreate things we remember clear as day either. Things over the past 7 years (or so) are things we've been there "live" for. Lex Luger Jobbing To A T-Shirt? Batista and his memes? All the Photoshop threads? Talking about how TNA is one giant car crash? The Diva Searches, the Death of Paul Bearer in the Concrete Crypt? Piggy James? We were there. As it happened. It's a lot like how many of the wrestling magazines started dying off when newsletters and results on the Internet became more readily available and happen quicker than waiting on an induction to make heads or tails of it, or a magazine that was 2-3 months behind the time-line. I'll admit it, I don't really pay much attention to the Inductions like I used to. Many times, I'm greeted with the same thing I saw last week with this caption: "Next Update In (?)-Weeks". Or, whatever was being featured was something I didn't care about to begin with. I admire the site's still going strong. But, I'm not a Podcast listener, so whatever goes on there I'm in the dark about. Out of sight (out of earshot), out of mind. The site's more than about wrestling and its crap. We have a lot of interests, and it shows. I love it here. I love Friday nights, seeing names like "brettappedout", "The Doctor Of Style", "Time Lord Sou{N}dwave" and "Savior Again John Forth" in the Live SD Thread. I love catching up on the weekends and see what I have to add to the group. We'll live on. We're the Nexus of the family.

I'm currently Using "Lovecraft's Apt" and while the darker background makes for an easier read, the Dark Green Text is a bit of a strain. I'll see what I can do in the next couple days. A large majority of those were flat out stolen from Deapool's private message board, the rest are just thrown together and I don't consider any of them actually "finished", which is why we've never officially announced the feature of new skins. I'm honestly really lazy about this. BTW to anyone who cares enough to help with this, any of you with PB boards that have extra skins I'll be more than happy to thumb through any of them you want made available here, or listen to any suggestions on finishing/fixing the ones already available.

Even though I don't use it.
