Metropol

It's a lot easier than it reads.

if its not in the phpBB template it doesn't appear. and it appears its not in the template.

What a disappointment for you Hyma. All that effort winding barcode up to the point of him being banned and you not having the benefit of his board membership status being emblazoned across all his previous posts for 52 hours.

Have you tried getting out more often for your amusement Netizen?

nah, the sheer lack of him posting is more than satisfying

Boy, oh boy; and HOW.

It's a real delight to come on here today, knowing the thread you last posted in hasn't been dragged off to the four winds by that moron.

I feel very calm browsing today - sometimes I feel more stressed reading Metropol as I wade through the crap he's posted - but I feel totally at ease. Doesn't it feel so much happier with him gone?

Do we have to let him back?

It's too cold at the moment! I'd much rather be inside with some soup, enjoying forum banter.

There's no background image - is something happening?

I hope something is happening because with the new blocky background, it obscures the posts.

And can we have the Metrosparkle for life, not just for Christmas, please? It just so fitted the place.

no

and the background image should be better now. Once again you catch me whilst I'm fiddling rather than when I'm finished. Tsk.

The blue font is quite hard to read against the blue background. What if it could be the Metropol purply/red instead? Surely it's worth a try.

I would definitely increase the brightness and decrease the contrast on that background. Then we'd have a really awesome new look.
