i thought too much green made the Cult of Cthulhu forum seem like an army board. so i mixed it up with some bluish shades.
let me know what you think of the changes here in this thread.
might play around with them later. very pleased to have found a way to change alternating post colors! sweet!
thanks,

Ok personally I liked the way it was originally.I believe you had a black and red scheme?The black was definitely happening.The green hue underneath the banner is straight Cthulhu too
The bluish green and light green has me confused.I ll take a quick run through the hexa system of colors through photoshop for some input.
This is just my opinion

actually, the forum used to be all dark green except for the forum category heading colors, that changed from a bright blue green to medium green to bilious green. and the outside edge background used to be pitch black.
i spent about an hour changing colors around the other night. when i introduced a secondary, lighter green... it started looking rather 'army-esque', so the bluish tones help with that i think.
not married to this scheme though. so it may change, especially if more people voice their opinions and include an example or two.
thanks for noticing, jameson.

The subject of Cthulhu is dark and ominous.Something that ressonates with fear.Personally I would cosider using the Choronzon grey as I call it 333333 in place of the light blue green and using black in place of the green surrounding the CoC banner.The green where u have the Login stuff under the banner would be clearer to see.That green I find will rock.
The blue text on the light greenish blue background I find is very difficult to see at times which is why that dark grey would work.This would still cause a problem witht the blue text if a person is color blind so a high saturation color such a bright red may work for those text areas no within that cool green
Just some things to consider

ok, let me know if you like this...
(also, i don't like the color grey. so probably won't see much of that on here. just my personal preference.)

I concur. The black suits me well.

alrighty, i just created a new skin, a red and reddish/purple one that i call Satanis. named after the Crimson Emperor. Hail Satanis!
anyways, you can go into your profile and change which skin you're viewing. instead of Cthulhu (the green and black version), you can go to Satanis and view the forum from that lush perspective (and there's also a default option as well if you find my color choices absolutely hideous).
so at least there's a choice. ;D
let me know how this works for you...
thanks,
Magus Satanis

i just adjusted the 'Satanis' forum skin. the colors are kinda wild. i don't know if it's good or not, but hey, it's different!
we'll try this for awhile. feel free to leave feedback.

ok, finally put a couple background images up. royalty free images came from Parable Visions: parablevisions.com/journal.html
there are a few different forum skins to choose from. most use the "Cthulhu" skin. but now there's a new "Parable-Vision" skin that also has a background image.
forum skins can be changed in your profile.
let me know what you think... might change some colors around in the next few days while i'm waiting for the site updates to be completed.

Wow, so I come in here today after being away all weekend, and I love what you've done with the place. Here is my review: The Parable-Visions skin is aiight. It's aiight. The Satanis skin, while minimalist, has a certain air of majesty about it. The Cthulhu skin is awesome, and I like the contrast of greens and greys, the cement with scratches reminiscent of claw-marks... Cool to see some revision, and I think its great. -M.
