Outdoor Adventure USA

Bump again..

Can we just call it a day, and declare softgreen the winner and change it to the default style? Ive been running my mouth non stop to people i meet and my friends about OAUSA, but i have yet to see any of them show up. One friend mentioned to me that it doesnt look like an outdoorsy site, but more like a tech help site. Food for thought.

Yah, but theres no reason the site shouldnt be visually appealing and theme related while communicating with people.

Man... I'm quite accustomed to the site color. The softgreen option is there if you want to use it. If your friends don't like the default format, tell them how to change to softgreen...

BTW: Blue is an earth tone.

Haha. I knew it, here we go again.

Also... it matches gon2srf's pictures perfectly...

Time for new friends ???

Just kidding, just kidding...

Unless we can plant trees on it, it's not likely going to look more outdoorsy, IMO. (I prefer the softgreen format myself).

The trick is to get your friends and associates to actually check out the site and the threads and posts, as opposed to just looking over the board index.

As we have been tracking since day one, the membership is growing consistently, the post counts are growing, and the threads are getting more diverse. Folks are starting to just "chat", a sure sign they are feeling more comfortable on this site.

And yes, I will continue to profess, "It's the people that make the site" - and the people participating here demonstrate this every day...

The purpose of the poll wasn't to determine which would be the default but which would be supported. With so few votes, it shows that the style isn't very important to most members.

The results are in and the Soft Green and OAUSA styles will be supported for all future enhancements.

Dave:

Look at it this way. OAUSA is a lot like Baskin Robbins. We have a lot of colors to please a lot of people. The two most popular colors are both available to those who care. If our goal is to appeal to the greatest number of people, then having more colors to choose from is better. Each to his own. Now post away!
