Oh, almost forgot to respond to the people who don't like the colors (which match the colors of the old OA.com).... there are 4 other skins. Find one you like.
I'm open to a color scheme suggestion as long as it doesn't look like shit.
Also.....
-Regarding policies.... I'll say again, we aren't against bullshit threads, we can't just put a policy in place that says "ALL THREADS MUST HAVE SUBSTANCE AND YOU MUST STICK TO THE TOPIC." - that's not what we're going for. I think most of us are pretty reasonable posters. There is a big difference between a crap thread here and there, and completely fucking abusing the New Topic button, which was what caused trouble.
The problem isn't the threads themselves, it's destroying the board with LOTS of them. Any decision of abuse is a subjective one. When we feel things are being abused, measures must be taken. So, the policy, as with everything, stands simply as, we reserve the right to determine whether action must be taken, and what that action is.
Kinda like a cop probably won't pull you over for 5 mph over the speed limit, but if you're doing 80 in a 25, you're fucked.
-Sig guidelines fall into that category as well. We reserve the right to determine whether a sig is too big. We felt that specific sig guidelines are too restrictive, so we didn't do that.
-G-spot, being the geek hangout, was meant for tech support. I have edited the forum description to reflect this.
-I really don't know why the site goes down so much, I'll try to look into it.
