Heya to the two of you!
Site got a fresh new look, sorry it took so long to get some flavor back on the site.
Working on bringing the old features back(map, events, etc). I miss the old stuff.
Take care

im down with dark mode. but not totally sold on the orange. it's a little Halloween. and i don't like Halloween. but it's different than every other forum so that's a cool.

Wow, what a bombshell!
The site popped up and I was like blown away.
Very well done Sir!
I like the floating structures in the header pic, they remind me of the classic Asteroids arcade.

Funker Vogt would love the color scheme for sure...

And now for the inevitable nit picking...
The emoticons all look like gray haired going bald with sort of white beard stubble.
May be there's an easy way to replace the gif-set with files more suitable for the dark background?
Another option may be to refine the transparency of the current files. I can give it a try if you like.
But honestly I think a different set of emoticons would support the cool, edgy, "eccentric" site layout way better.

I noticed the same and had been on a hunt for some alternative icons for the board that would be a bit more.... fun. It seems the board just ran with the forum software's stock icon set.
I installed a set of stock icons intended for dark mode. That should keep us safe from the fuzzy icons in the meantime
