I use MF for three reasons:

1. It's easy on the eyes without being too dark.

2. I've been using since I signed up and I'm used to it.

3. If my account suddenly logs me off, I'm instantly aware of it because the board will switch to the BlackSoul default.

BlackSoul. I just like the darker type themes, especially when people are posting pictures.

The Sub Silver theme is very good and easy to read when going with a light theme but my eyes tend to do better over long periods with most of the screen being darker like it is with Black Soul.

The default skin. But this thread makes me reconsider it. I never payed too much attention to that till now, but things might change :mrgreen:

There are two kinds of people here on SD.net; those who use MF, and those who have mental deficiencies.

I went through all of them the day I joined, just to pick one. I like the Black Soul because I like the colour blue. And this skin has many shades of dark blue. :D Good reason, no? And I absolutely hate that LCARS one. So...ugly. No wonder the Feddies are fucked up, their computer screens are so ugly...

BlackSoul, because I find it to be very visually pleasing. Everything else either looks like shit or I don't like how they format or operate.

EDIT: Yep, just checked:

digitaltwilight: Looks absolutely terrible and squishes the horizontal absurdly small.

millenniumFalcon: So-so, visually, but don't like how it treats the entire title space as a link: leds to more accidental mis-clicks.

subSilver: nothing wrong with it visually, although it is rather bright for me to adjust to it. Also, it reminds me too much of GundamWatch and the Gundam Project MB...

I didn't bother with LCARS, since I remember it looked incompotent.

Millenium Falcon. I've been using it since I registered, so I'm used to it, and I think it looks the best. SubSilver to too white for me, VereorLCARS has too much of a retro look for my tastes, Digital Twilight is too plain, and Black Soul shows up when I'm not logged in, so it's easy to tell whether or not I'm logged in if I'm not using it.

I like DigitalTwilight and Millenium Falcon. However, Millenium Falcon has the topic posted in huge letters which is not great when parents are lurking around.

Blacksoul reflects the true SD.net, it reflects the entrails of this community, contrasting its hate, apathy, rage and venomous trolling with the happiness and joy of living and anal sex. It is art in its simplest form, it is the default in any rational man's array of choices. It is what I have first seen and it is what I have fallen in love with. It is simple, yet divinely intricate. It is....beautiful!

I have no idea what I'm talking about.

EDIT: I tested the skins out a while ago, then this thread pops up! I must be foruming with my mind! I must have the power to kill a yak from 200 yards away...with MIND BULLETS!!! That's telekinesis, Kyle!

My main problem with Falcon is the lack of a forum jump box at the bottom of the forum screen. You have to enter a thread to get it.

Yes, that almost drove me from the pure wonder that is MF.
