I just changed my Rank to Admin -- it's just the rank title.
I think if Mozgus or someone else want a custom one, I have to set it up as a custom rank and then select it for you

I just am the leader of the Admins and the Founder
Well it says I cant view the admin page, so I'm pretty sure I'm not.
It might only be available for Founders
But I think only admins can ban/delete members

What about a purple colour? I think that would work on both layouts.
Whoah I never knew you could change the skin, this looks great. Helpful thread so far.

AcidTech is 95% the same as the original forum skin, and I really wish it was the default so most users could realize it. But Nick I think set it as the default because it matches the main site's white background style. Personally I hate it. AcidTech is better in all ways.

And part of it was because I got so many requests to have a white background.
Obviously others prefer a dark background.
If there's one thing I've learned from running a website is that you can never make everyone happy.

I just wish there was a way to notify users about the alternate skin. We only have 50 something users on acidtech, and the 3500 something others on the white one. I'm sure a good thousand or more of those users would prefer acidtech if they knew about it.

Maybe an FAQ/Helpful Information/Introduction/Rules post stickied in the Whatever section?

As usual, I'm late to the party, but I think MrPopo and Niode are great picks and I support the decision.

Yeah.

I think I'm the mod with the fewest posts. I'm trying to decide if that means I'm irresponsible or boring. Probably boring.

A style-switcher up top would be cool, but I don't have time to program one and I have higher-priority things to hire people for...

Hehe, maybe you just did. I'm sure a lot of people are reading this thread since all the big boys are involved. It's like the G8 summit of video gaming...
