trademark, your tool is made out of win! As a feature request, could you add a button "by text length" so it automatically sets the gradient to loop only once for the whole text (so you dont have to count the letters)

No, I do it because I like the color. The skyblue and pink combination which are part of a pastel pallet are in fact considered soothing colors. So quit thinking I am doing it to annoy you. Even more so you would attack my avatar if it wasn't my text.

:), ya know, if people did not piss and moan soo much about it I would have already stopped using it. However, because people have some how decided that they can mandate what color I post in, the pink stays. Which is of course, fine by me.

I think the pink is nice, it has a nice look with the forum. No one I know has a hard time really reading it, even a friend of mine that is *OHMYGOSH* colorblind. I think it is just an excuse for some people to piss and moan about me. If it wasn't the pink text it would be my avatar, it has happened in the past.

Of course they made it an issue, I was originally doing it for the relaxing feeling it gave me. Then I liked the way it looked with my new avatar but realized how easy it is to ignore and thought great, people who have a problem with me can easily ignore me. Then some forum users got upset about how I post, well frankly they can sit and spin. So yeah, the people can make a huge deal about it and I will keep using it. When they get over it I will stop.. maybe.

Go fuck with the colors in your homepages: http://cs.selu.edu/~ssmith/index.php?title=Main_Page
You can do anything in there! Put different cool colors everywhere! Why dont you? Oh, people would avoid your pages ? Oh yes... thats the reason.

If you feel sad, look at your pink color 10 hours a day from full pink screen. No need to push it in the forums to annoy us. Or buy nice pink teddy bears or other smooth cute toys.

"if i want it, i take it!"

Guess what, I can use pink if I bloody well choose to. YOU do not have to READ MY posts. I did not use a neon or any similar color. So it is not an eyesore, unless of course there is something wrong with your monitor which is not my fault.

The reason I do not use pink on my site? Easy, it is not myspace, if you saw my myspace yeah it is pink purple and black! I wear a pink hat, so yeah get over it. What is your problem with the color? did someone beat you with a bucket of pink paint? Did you get beat up by a gang of guys who wore pink as their colors? Did your brother die from too much pink? Not likely.

I do not push anything, I am just posting away. I am not forcing pink on your posts. I use it on my posts, so frankly it is NOT YOUR DECISION. What makes it your decision? What gives you the RIGHT to mandate what color or manner I post in? It does not bother anyone but a hand full of people who have it in them to bust my balls for whatever they can. Be it some people who have conspiricie theories about me. Or be it others who just like to poke at me. Either way, my color on my post is none of your business.








kick and scream all you want the pink stays, it is my choice on my posts and frankly none of your business.

Smoth, you really cannot be that fucking simple in your head?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blind

What you are saying is as ignorant as telling someone "i have a friend who got a leg injury, but he can walk without using a cane. WTF are you doing walking around using that cane you sissy?"

btw. i really have no problem seeing why this community is falling apart. When moderators allow fucktards like you terrorizing the boards people pretty soon just give up and move to some other project.

Trademark, you choose to read my posts and you choose to press the matter. At this point I do not want to change color. I was going to go with green or maybe just black, then again it is not hard to over ride the pink if it really bothered you that much. In fact you can override colors pretty easy it took me less then 1 minute, So what is the real issue?

Kuga, no need to be derogatory. Yes, my colorblind friend can see it fine, there is no one brand of colorblind. So perhaps you are drawing the wrong conclusion.

ya' know, what is funny about it is I am talking with trademark right now and he is being very reasonable about the pink thing. What is doubly funny is how soo many people use it as an excuse to dump all this bullshit on me.

But single colored text is fine? Better update those rules to the forum rules page, othrwise people might get confused...
