new site skin - empire earth 3 sponsored

Falstaff · Nov 12, 2007, 08:29 PM

I like glowy....reminds me of German Chocolate...mmmmmmmmmmmm
I might have to turn this them off...the colour key reminds me of some of my watercolours..LOL
but it is a welcome change no matter what Tarp and Horny say...it is rather soothing..

I'm glad to see that DH is getting sponsorship and hope there's plenty more of it but I don't like how even if you change the skin for the main site it still defaults to the Empire Earth skin on Gamingheaven.

I'd love to see a Solder of Fortune theme for this site filled with gore and dripping blood. That's right up Zardon's alley

Gaming Heaven front page is a seperate entity, it always had a "forced" theme and we simply and temporarily replaced it with the EE3 theme which was part of the sponsorship deal. It will only be for a short while

As I have mentioned before in other threads, DH will be undergoing a huge facelift next year because our current code implementation right now is quite limited in the dynamic structure.

I think pretty much every DH skin is a Zardon theme lol

What would be pretty sweet though would be a Crysis theme

well, I know that the themes are significant, but I was looking for a
"signature" series of themes based on a Zardon sort of theme.
Ya know....
we used to have screensavers, etc.
how bout a DH rig built by a notable company with the Zardon endorsement or DH endorsement? just a thought.

k right when i saw the theme i switched back to the old school. Anyone who says they like the new theme is either trying to kiss ass or works for the sponsor in question because the theme is honestly heinous. It is jarring, distracting and just plain looks like I was looking at an advert site.

I'm not kissing ass when i say this but i do actually quite like the new skin, sure it's a bit tacky but a lot of work went into it just like with all the other skins so Zardon deserves a lot of respect imo.
You go make some VB Skins and i'm sure you'll agree.

Still bitter over the rejected blog you wanted on DH? tsk tsk. move on ...

I think you said you didnt like the theme earlier. do you need to reinforce it with two feedback posts and a flame zone rant to make your point more important or something? I think the three bannings would have by now made you realise that your posting is generally best kept to the flame zone for our amusement?

If you read what I posted earlier it might make sense, but knowing you as I do from DH, you really wouldnt have the intelligence to understand it anyway, so ill just tell you not to make any more posts in the feedback. I guess if I keep it to a few syllables it should work its way into the handful of braincells.

And for god sake change that signature image, hard to take your flaming seriously if you look like a gay pron star.

to be honest I don't even pay attention to the damn thing....It's there and it = $$$ so who really gives a shit.....Seeing as it isn't your site and you don't contribute anything worth the pixels it takes up on my screen you aren't important enough to voice your opinion about something that doesn't really even matter on the grand scheme of things.

MORAL OF TODAY: grow testicals and quit bitching about things that mean nothing

CJLMTLCA · Nov 14, 2007, 03:28 PM

I like it. I like the 3D feel with the wallpaper too... however what's scarier than that gay porn star signature or the killer clown avatar is stopping the page in the right place...

Falstaff · Nov 14, 2007, 06:24 PM

Gay porn star? How about just Kosher Porn Star..LOL
no pork...

brutusmaximus · Nov 15, 2007, 05:32 AM

wow the hornet being an idiot attention seeker, what a shocker. any other site would have perm banned him long ago. Guess Z likes him around for a laugh.

Anyway, I like the theme, looks well, love the panel colours. Maybe you guys could make a permanent DH theme from the colour scheme without the EE3 images for after its over?

niceguyrichy · Nov 15, 2007, 12:11 PM

well I've been 'away' for a few days unwell, so I'm a bit late to the party, but I have to say that this is far and away the most preferable source of site revenue ahead of more recognised forms of advertising

OK , this particular skin isn't for me, but like Z keeps pointing out, it's a matter of seconds for members to change it. surely taking a couple seconds out of your day to renew a bookmark or whatever is worth waaaay more than puting up with all the god-awfull types of invasive advertising that plagues so many other sites.

Great skin - I like the colors and the cool video on the front page that shows the battle theme progressing from Ancient to Future timeframes - very nice, nice change of pace...

AND - they got Mel Gibson in the game! Cool!

Quoted for truth! Please don't agree to that, they do my head in...

I like the skin...it was the first time I have noticed that the site actually scrolls over the background.
