the black really gets me down.

The black is what makes it more "cool" isn't it? Not that I ever had a proper understanding of the word

<font color=33FFFF> I'd like pink</font>

'Sides being down makes you more relaxed and sleep easier.

make it white and silver.

no way make it light blue with white text.

no way make it light blue with white text.You've won me over.

it's white on here. White with black text. I still got the images, though. But only because i use google to browse.

black = infinite sadness

Hey bonnie

i like the black, the white would blind me. i might change my radio site to that because i have it set to white right now, and its really bright.

but... it's like.. too dark and im a happy person ya know

This board desperately needs a makeover.

i know!

The black is easier on the eyes. Better posting longer!

hiya avram. I'm under the covers

cheo you should go to my site and be happy and angry that theres no guestbook.

www.avidity.org/howgoes

listen to the interviews! if you want you can give me suggestions with how to make the site look better, one of my friends pretty much set it up for me and its really basic but i like it.

Black and white theme would be neat. Where you can chose either black or white.

please make Netphoria transparent. i am in constant terror that someone or something is going to sneak up from behind my computer monitor and pounce. give me a fucking break.

The black is easier on my eyes.

ted.

im going to fukk u up.

hiya avram. I'm under the coversNeat. I'm being pulled away :S

I said that one already.

will do!

i'm so so tired. :( night, geo. Night, avram. Night, everyone else.

Do blacks visit netphoria?

goodnight, bon bon :)

i think we have more pressing issues to think about, like merging the general boards.

I thought this was going to be a tactless thread about getting rid of Julio.

hahhhaha

bon bonGosh

what's wrong with saying bon bon :/

Nothing, I thought of it before myself.

super bon bon

ohnoitsbonbon

We should have color schemes.

But Pakula would probably make us donate to use them...

"Q: Your name is funny and I like to mispronounce it, what's the deal?

A: Shapan is an Indian name, it means "dream". It's awesome and means something, I dig it. It's pronounced shuh-pawn to most of my friends, and that's not even the correct pronounciation because you wouldn't be able to say it properly unless you're Indian.

Q: That's chill."

that interviewer seems so relaxed and cool that he's more like a shapeless mass of dough than anything else, or at least that's the signal he's trying to give off. shapan must be an intimidating guy to illicit such behaviour in his fellow human beings.

i'd probably be able to say it, for the record. my thac0 is low but my language skills are mental.

the thac0 system is in itself something that never should have been unleashed on the world, like the inches and feet thing. typically for americans to make things overly complicated. toilet paper? don't need it, use your hands and wash carefully afterwards instead, yanks.

if the interviewer was a talking shapeless mass of dough i dont think he would be the one intimidated

well i thought all americans pretty much looked like that so you'd be used to it, but you know best, you always do. if he is also able to control his body fat and make it perform small tasks for him, like mixing drinks or suffocating people he dislikes, it's easy to understand that you would be afraid and not the other way around :(

dude, its a talking shapeless mass of dough.

people are people no matter how much you hate america, and talking shapeless masses of dough are just that.

that's what capitalism does to people. damn capitalism.

in general, every person who starts a new company gains aproximately 20 kg in weight (that's been proved by science..so...)

the black actually helps save energy

Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year

As noted, an all white web page uses about 74 watts to display, while an all black page uses only 59 watts. I thought I would do a little math and see what could be saved by moving a high volume site to the black format.

Take at look at Google, who gets about 200 million queries a day. Let's assume each query is displayed for about 10 seconds; that means Google is running for about 550,000 hours every day on some desktop. Assuming that users run Google in full screen mode, the shift to a black background will save a total of 15 (74-59) watts. That turns into a global savings of 8.3 Megawatt-hours per day, or about 3000 Megawatt-hours a year. Now take into account that about 25 percent of the monitors in the world are CRTs, and at 10 cents a kilowatt-hour, that's $75,000, a goodly amount of energy and dollars for changing a few color codes.

i don't want to start a big fight but given the opportunity to talk about my unique, left wing opinions, i choose to do so, to help others basically.

if capitalism ruled the world...

one day the entire world will become one giant shapeless dough of mass with billions of heads popping out of it talking to one another. these heads would be able to go back into the mass and pop out of wherever they please. the world and its goods and resources would then be trapped inside the mass itself. the mass would suck in the ocean so inside the mass everything would seem like it's underwater with a bunch of floating heads. would it really be so bad?

with that thought, i sleep. this should make an interesting dream.

yes but a lot of people would get depressed by the new color scheme and change to another search engine instead. to compensate for the lack of color they experienced earlier, they weill choose an even brighter search engine than google and the costs will become higher than they were before. nice try ravenguy, stick to the porn.

nice try ravenguy, stick to the porn.

ok!

So Pakula has been doing his part all along to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. There should be an environmental seal of approval on the homepage.

ha, no shit.

i thought this thread was gonna be all racial and shit

It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none...none more black.

I like the black. White would be ungodly cruel on my eyes in the early hours of the morning.

Netphoria's had the same black layout since 1998. Why change now?
