OK well I wouldn't go as far to say I "hate" it, but it is rather offputting IMO. Distracts you from the actual site.

I like it.  Plus it took days of comparing paint swatches before Pete finally had the right mix...  ;)

I like it, I remember we had tried a couple different things and this was what was decided upon.  I think it looks good.   :)

IMHO, the colors of the forums and website are easy on the eyes. Other forums like Turboquid, etc. seem to strain the eyes a little.

To my knowledge, it has never been those colors and I have been here ever since the this forum was first open.

man it was like that today. Just ask the admin who changed it.I'm not talking about the forum but the main site background.

Never saw it - can't comment, but I know Pete is a member of the Anti-eye Sore Background for Websites Brigade along with myself. ;) I doubt he'd have anything grubby up.  

Plus, if he did it isn't recommended you tell him in that way. ;)

Without trying to put blame onto anyone here, it definitely was purple & black when I posted my first post in this thread (I checked ;D).

It could be an ad. VERY annoying ... & shouldn't happen.

Usually they don't last long - but it's all I can think it is as nothing on the site has changed.
