You might also want to consider mixing the news with reviews on the front page, and then link to a seperate review page. I find myself forgetting to check the news, and often just go to the forums directly. |
I have heard people mention the similarity in themes between Madshrimps, Gideontech, HardOCP, and Bigbruin before... I guess they stand out since they are some of the few dark sites left. It is harder to remember similar light sites, since so many are light.
Not sure what you mean by mixing news and reviews. I keep the Bigbruin stuff separated and higher up, since well, it is the important stuff here... 
But, I may just expand the color switching thing on reviews to more pages, and make it look a bit better (if I can).
The forum would change to have the instant switcher thing, too. Updating three templates with every contest, software patch, etc is a pain... subSilver and OldSchool would be gone, but the functionality would be available in similar things that could be switched from the main theme.
Meh... The dark is starting to get to me, and I'm just trying to figure out what to do on a site wide basis. |
