During a day I was expecting 15 hours of Comp Sci to do, I got around to giving the site a new look. I originally went with Green/Blue as suggested by WaterWizard, but following many burning retinas, we went with Posthuman's scheme.
I also modified the colours of Staff so everyone has their own unique colour, but they still have the same positions as before. A certain eager beaver also suggested more pink, which I generously gave.
Also, the way to add colours in posts can be a bit inefficient, so I added a nice little graph, where you can click to quickly get your colour. On top, the text of your message temporarily appears the colour you're pointing at, so the graph can stay small and still be useful.
A bunch of the buttons were also redone and upgraded to go with the new style and just as a freshen up.
If there are any other suggestions to anything, just mention them here. =D

For the record, I never saw the colors in context, so I was only theorizing. I am actually rather feng shui, I've been told

So if both Posthuman & WW are Global Moderators, why is PH's name red & WW's is a darker shade of orange? Basically: same rank, different color = my question.

We just preferred different colors, so we got different ones. That's really it.

Basically: same rank, different color = my question. ~ Aether Nexus Does it really matter? -.- Kind of does. Different shades of color show dominance of users on forums. Darker, more bolder colors (other than black/gray) state you're at a powerful rank. For example, when I see your posts, I don't really see your rank as the color doesn't attract my eyes. I usually see Posthuman's post and read that first when I see it. Kind of like how users on Smogon are attracted right away to someone's post with a shit load of badges (or just 1, etc.). I liked the previous rank colors, but doesn't matter now. I was just curious why WW's & PH's colors were different when they were at the same rank; just confused me is all. ~ Aether Nexus

Well we also have the ultra balls under our names. Our name colors are all different from the regular members, so they should still stand out.

Funny thing is, the other night, I was about to edit my post and ask why don't regular members have Pokeball status' lol. Just shows how oblivious I am to them to not realize it until I thought about it. As for this theme, let's keep it like this. This is our new official theme, right? Hope it's not like a Holiday-for-now theme or anything. ~ Aether Nexus

Adding a sub-folder to the "Other Discussion" section for Religion/Politics. We're interested to see what kind of views the members have, but this way, the more sensitive subject matter is partitioned off from the mass of random topics. Plus, really long threads won't keep dominating the "newest post" spot in the OD section. 'Tis the season to be jolly?

Done. I figure most of us are mature enough to handle it.
Or so we hope.

I let Borat be able to have more control over the GSC board since he's pretty much the only one that knows anything about it.
If you decide to buzz around here, you can make Stickies and whatnot for those that are interested in learning. GSC doesn't exactly have a home besides Smogon and other competitive places, but many of our players do play some GSC, such as Zilch, Crystal, WaterWizard, Subsmoke, etc.
Or if this annoys you, it's no problem to remove it.
