Umm, have to bring up the new "look"

[ColdSteel]

I think everyone that frequents this site has some real intelligence and can tell the difference between abstracted computer violence (quite cathathic, actually) and the real kind. Most of those few in our society who cannot tell the difference exhibit these problems and symptoms from an early age.

While I do think it is commendable to have such scruples, I also think they are a bit misplaced here in this case. After all, this is in reality a wargame and this site sells wargames. In fact I like and enjoy playing wargames.

I think we all have to exhibit some balance and common sense in our lives or next we'll have to stop saying things like "it's number one with a bullet". Being PC can just go too far.

I also believe that healthy, sane humans can view pictures of bullets on a website and not have it directly affect them or the way they live their lives in terms of being violent. I'd consider a person extremely abnormal if they said it did.
JMHO.

I understand your concerns. I don't like it when my little girl askes why I keep blowing things up but it could be worse, they could have put a jagged piece of metal up there

OK Guys:

Let's see what everyone thinks. Look at our announcemnts (should be at the top of this page entitled: The New Forum Look and The Bullet).

Read and vote!

On a side note, I hope, Richard and others at Shrapnel, that you do not feel slighted. I simply was sharing my thought. I love SEIV (and admit to laughing out loud over the post about how to achieve victory and ... um... glassing planets, and over the post about a jagged piece of metal) and your other games. I just thought I would post and see what others thought.

I agree the bullet is out of place tho not for the same reasons, 1, this is a "Space" game 2,guns DO NOT kill people, People kill people! (oops...different soap box)I like the over all look but it dose need to be something different at the top

(thats mt $0.02 worth)

Seeing as its "Intel Forums", I would go for a more spy-ish image, such as the "top-secret" stamp.

BTW, I did that vote, and the results page showed one result *not what I voted for* I even went back, and it showed that I had clicked the right option button for what I wanted.
Whats going on?

i can't abide by a "TOP SECRET" sign at the top. I'd never be able to read at work. Would cost me my job and my clearance. Would be difficult for me to convince the politicos that "it's just a game!" especially with the ATF and BCT games.
