I vote for pink and yellow.

Those won't cause any epileptic attacks.

I think the site's lovely the way it is now. I strongly vote against Miruvor's pink and yellow combo (sorry Mir, but it's the whole site we're talking about! ) *shudders*

i no how about grey then silver in the forum pages come on it makes sense Tolkien loves those colours he used them all the time!!!! come on come ooooooon (in a whiny way lol)

okay u want more persuading huh??? COME ON THEY ARE GOOD COLOURS!!!!!!!! COME OOOOOOOOON HOW ABOUT A VOTE, I VOTE FOR gREY AND THEN SILVER FOR THE FORUM PAGES (soz caps lock) instead of green, have grey then silver or dark grey , keep the background as i said that great but i need to see grey and dark grey or silver come onnnnnnnnnn WHOZ WITH ME??

hmm valid point Grep, now let me think........... okay here goes...

as many people will agree the green shades for the boxes have been a classic for a long time and many people appreciate the choice and direction chosen for the colours, they do depict the vastness of the world of Tolkien, the green forests of Fangorn (your blessed home) to the glorious land of the Shire, a decision well made.

So with the new design of the site from the change of the background and the majority of the green has dissapeared, there has been quite alot of changes along with the set out and the way that you can access different things for example the search engine, very helpful. These changes have all been made by only a few people, which has been good, but in my oppinion as there has been so many changes, the colours should change with it, hence my own idea of the silver and grey, or even dark grey.

Tolkien in my oppinion spent alot of time meditating over the race of Istari and the elves, after all he based two of the characters on himself and his wife, so here he used with his ideas the colours for them in the indepth detail of the two races, for example, the elves used grey and dark grey in their clothing, they even gave the hobbits grey clothing, he used the grey to describe the elves as clever with their choice to become nearly invisible by wearing those colours. the Istari mainly Gandalf is described as silver in some of Tolkien's wording 'like a flash of silver' and shadowfax his horse was described as silver and that became a dominating colour in Gandalf's sayings like and

These are the reasons why i think that the forum pages should be dark grey or silver or both together. It's like moving from the shire to another aspect of Middle Earth, the magic of the races that were created.

(hope thats enough persuasion, i trust your decision!)

Losse

I think green is the best. And they say it calms our eyes.

I think some dark green (viridian) background for our posts would be a nice sight.

No you're not...
I saw your picture, you're an elf alright...

Well, Elessar, ye don't know yet which picture Asteroth is talking about. And its not her avatar. Though Amarie sings like a bird, she ain't a bird and definitely not a raven at that!

Ok, ok. My cover is blown. I'm half-elven. ( ) Aster must be talking about this picture


AHA! So it was YOU who peeked through the window at the Council Members' Christmas Karaoke Party!
Naughty naughty!

You haven't heard Grep sing...
(j/k boss )

Nice pink flowers on the image, Grep. But atleast write the correct spelling of "Wishes".

I doubt very much if the male CM's have handbags hehe

Yes those posies temporarily on the banner aren't daisys or pinks, they are a snapshot of fireworks just blossoming out; though I did have to remember what day was coming up in another 1.5 hours in order to adjust my eyes and mouth to say, "Oooooh!!" and "Awww!!!". Thanks for the sentiment Grep.
