Just something that came to mind; might not even be relevant here. But, y'know. Thought.
I think we've already concluded we need to run smaller mafia games. 
I have to run.

Not sure if this is going to be taken care of with the darker color scheme, but right now it is very difficult to tell what is inside a quote box and what is not.

It was bothering me that in the Civ Democracy game forum, the team subforums showed the post counts only since the changeover, not total including imports from the old forum. I found the button in the myBB admin to update that so it's all synched up now to the full history. Let me know if anything else looks out of synch.

eh, 26 players would actually be quite nice for a ww13 type set up  .
Please don't go. The drones need you. They look up to you.

I have almost finished 3 color themes. I think I have managed to make quoted blocks as little obstructive yet as easily distinguishable as possible. Will have someone test drive the themes first....
Color themes so far:
Going to keep the current Calm theme for those who likes white (with a tweak or two, later)
RBClassic - Green/Blue
RBClassicGreyArea - Grey
RBClassicBlackBeauty - Sort of like the RB Front Page
RBClassicLatte - Coffee/Toffe My current fav

Can you put up the new themes? I don't think testing them is really necessary, they aren't going to break the forum or anything. We can still make adjustments afterwards.
