I had my choice of color combinations. I could have used a white background with blue writing or a reed bakground with yellow writing, etc. But I wanted to make it look like it did at the old Fox place. hee hee I think it worked on kind of a subliminal level with everyone because people keep saying how much it feels like home. When I first came on the internet looking for XF sites I found the old Fox boards when we used to have all the topics and fell in love with the place. I always thought the white/red/green coor combination looked good and th whole set up just worked well. I'd been missing that since the new ones and even before when they got rid of all the old boards. So I tried to recreate it here. Some psychoanalist types would proabably tell me change is good and I should get used to new things but I didn't want to! When something works it works! Why change it?

And I agree on the spoilers at the new place. With all the post headers right down the side of the page it's next to impossible to avoid reading stuff. We are all safer here. I'm trying to keep all the free season 7 talk on the Season 7 boards and the spoiler board for any advanced stuff so you should be fairly safe to roam around. On any other boards I'm encouraging the use of spoiler warnings. Of course with saying that I must tell you there are a few boo boos here and there. It's hard for people to contain themselves. I'm afraid the Mulder and Scully board is a little dangerous so you should proabably be careful there!

Ooh! Dev, what pic did you see on the S7 board? Well it probbly made no sense to you anyway. There I plan on changing the pic every time there's a new episode.
