Can we have a black background with white text? It's so much easier on the eyes.

Please, no - it makes me dizzy!

I, Cosh

Things Cosh likes.
- Active Topics.
- Techno.

Things Cosh finds boring and which should, therefore, be banned.
- People whinging on about seeing spoilers because they bookmarked some stupid preview pane view of recent posts.
- Zombies.

Things Cosh wistfully dreams of.
- The ability to search for random text strings in historical posts and for the various options you have selected not to be reset when you try to go to the next page of results.

Things Cosh treasures in his heart but doesn't like to talk about.
- Webz.
We never really die.

You forgot the Letters thread in your likes there Cosh.

I love it so much I didn't want to type its name.

Is this new "alleged" web site really a convoluted plot to summon cosmic horrors from beyond space time? It would be fun if it was.

Yeah! Bring back Thread Zero.

Lock up your spoons!

I feel like we need to talk about Donald Glover more.
He's only trying to be what following how his dreams make you wanna be, man!

Childish Gambino is currently the best Jewish Country & Western singer operating correctly.

Change is only ever good when it's implemented with the axe and the torch and the howl of the demagogue. Think how cool it was when Kirk swapped the USS Enterprise for the B'rel-class Bird-of-Prey 'HMS Bounty', and how no good came of him swapping back to the dull old Enterprise-A and her randomly-number decks and hazardous pipe-filled service corridors. 

Change us Webz, we're ready.  Change us until our pips squeak.

Have we still got to use a monitor, like it's bloody two thousand and bloody five and batter our fingertips on a keyboard? Or is the Board finally going to enter the space age and pump it all straight into my brain, like it should?

I'm willing to experiment if you are...?

Well, it's a new "forum" so you're all sorts of wrong. I'll add you to the Russian Roulette Purge List. Say 4 Hail Marys and repent a bit around the edges.

No?

Also I'd like red links like in the good old days. They lit up when you hovered over them! The dark blue ones we have now blend in too much with the black text.

Maybe!

Also, can we have the option to see how many people are ignoring you? I know a lot of people whined about this feature, but I don't see any harm in having it as an option. Just so people can keep track of whether they are proving unpopular.

Not got the ignoring feature just yet so no idea as to whether the above will apply yet...

Also, I'd like if we could have the Something Awful smileys as the current set aren't great. I know a lot of people whine about smileys, but if we're going to have them then we might as well go all out.

Mmm yes I'd like to update the smileys generally

Hmmm will look into the later, as for the former that's probably due to this place needing a prune and hasn't had one for a while so I doubt a re-index happened.

Can we have flashing red/yellow text on a chequered green, blue, gold and purple background and accompanying "WEEWEEWEEWEEWEEWEE!" alarm, as standard across all the forums please? (if we are forced to still live in the nineteen eighties and look at a screen). Also, can you program surprise monkeys in hats to pop up, and give us an optional cheese encyclopaedia function?

Dan Dare will return for a new adventure soon, Earthlets!

I think that certain boarders need to be nerfed so as to create a more even tier list.
