Yeah, I mean, I thought they were cool and some fonts did look really pretty, but when I was using my mac, I could never see them. I'm not terribly glad they're gone, but it will be easier to read the boards now.

ps-I wonder what all those font making guilds will do now? LOL well, you still can be highly creative with what we do have, so maybe they won't be entirely out of business.

The world rejoices on this day...the deaf of annoying glowy fonts was something that needed to be done. Not that it really mattered on my part I use Mozilla, inpervious to glow fonts.

The really entertaining thing about this is the avatar chat boards - they're still full of people threatening to quit and spam report TNT blah blah, and it'll probably continue for some time yet.. I still see boards lamenting the loss of general chat :/

What would be even better than deleting the GC board and getting rid of those two font effects, though, would be getting rid of all the annoying people who used them irritatingly, but I don't suppose that'll ever happen. Can you imagine though, Neoboards like the PPT forums, full of intelligent people? Ahhhhh *drools*

Set by Hellyer :D Going to use all my set contest entries eventually!

Really?!

Hotdang!

Everything great happens while I'm stuck at school. *pouts*

I'm SO freaking happy that they took the glowy fonts off.

THANK YOU TNT. o__o

...Now they just need more monitors and whatnot, and the NeoBoards are set. >>;

You wouldn't be saying that if you knew how the monitors are...

Now they just need to get rid of the stupid monitors...

Like the one that deleted my siggy contest. X_X How, exactly, do you scam in a siggy contest?

yeah..some monitors are probably applying the rules literally..if the rule says "no contest", they probably disallow contests of any kind, regardless of its nature.

that said, shall we write to complain that they disable white fonts as well? it gets irritating having to highlight those invisible messages

Some people have actully formed a group on the Neoboards called PHP and are protesting the font change. I've even seen people using white fonts as a protest. :roll:

Using the white font as a protest? Cool! A few less posts to read then!
I admit to using a purple glow once in a while.. but that was back when I used IE instead of Mozilla... Back when I had popups and such, not to mention those sneaky cookies I hate so much..


Amazing what one can come up with when one is given a cardboard box and a roll of duct-tape!

THANK GOD.
I hated the stupid glowy fonts, with the little clappy smilie at the end that made the [already illegible] words freakin' moving targets. Now it takes no skill to read a 5 word post in under a minute. :D Well actually I've been using Mozilla for the past...... long time... so the glowing hasn't affected me in a while except when people used white/yellow base fonts. Though I'm being kind of hypocritical, because my font was bold white with a very thin purple shadow underneath and a thin green glow above... was very pretty, and made it look like it popped out of the page at ya ^^ Looked awesome... Whoa got a little carried away there. Bottom line: HURRAY.

tehehe, i think tnt must be listening or something, because white font is now disabled as well, i just popped into my guild to post, and my font color was white last night, and now its black, as is everyones who had a white font color with glow, and no white fonts on the neoboards either that i can see *or maybe they have learnt*

Quote:
i think the ppl who r complaining bout having simple fonts r doing so cus there fonts were the only good thing bout there posts cus other then fonts they have nothing of importance to say ...LOL
<- a random, pointless, but insightful? quote from a neoboard.

bah, so white is banned, and now theres a painful green and blinding yellow font. which is worse, because you strain to see it, white, you just guessed if it was there.

http://www.neopets.com/neoboards/topic.phtml?topic=34709249 <- neoboard topic

Quote:
so next it will be purple or blue or black thats what happend with white they banned shadow and glow then decided to bann white because they got a few complaints atleast you can see white
*laughs* you can see white? :P


If you see my sanity, get it to give me a call.

They banned white?

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!

Now all we need is for the people who don't like it to boycott the chat boards.

Think about it, a New Member free neoboard... *gets starry eyed*

Without the newbs, the monitors would have time to actually LOOK AT THE POSTS we make, before they unjustly freeze us... It starts a chain reaction... Oh, I love it. ^_^

... not in our neolifetime :P I think I'm happier about no white neohtml than I am about the glow. Yes, alot of the glow was unreadable, but having to click or highlight to read a post gets old real fast. I stopped replying to questions when I'd click on a post and see that "invisible" font.

You actually bothered to do that? I just skip over those I can't read.. It's too time consuming and not to mention not worthwhile in many cases to highlight each stupid post. So, skip... But white's gone too? Much better. Please, please, New Member, protest the change by getting off the boards..
