@Tibs, dunno whose profiles you've been reading... Mine is plenty readable. I also take (reasonable) suggestions on how to improve readability on my page.

I also am willing to do work on other pages if I have time - see Pro_Noob.

To be honest, the backgrounds kind of piss me off.
I'd rather people not screw around with the site's code and intentionally override the features that already exist. Many of the backgrounds only end up making pages very difficult to read, and they're all annoying at the very least.
I'd like for there to be an official theme system, but I don't know how long one would be in coming.

I'm with you, Epoch. I'm not a fan of those backgrounds. They annoy me, and when I'm on my phone, it just slows down everything. Then people just get carried away and the whole thing looks like a big mess of flashiness and stuff. But maybe it's because I'm a minimalist when it comes to these things. I like things simple - not everything, but things like these. I think my profile is about as "artsy" as it's going to get.
June 4, 2015 11:01 p.m.
Well, here's my take on it. Basically, I only decided to do it because
At the time, I knew little to no CSS, so I figured I should learn some.
I thought Blizzicane's profile page looked super cool.
I wanted to be unique, y'know? Out of all the users on the site, how many of them are willing to put the time and effort into coding their own style?
That's pretty much it. Now I'm going to bed.

I do not like them, and wish there was an option to turn them off, and revert all profiles to stock. That would allow people to have them, and I would not have to see them. Win win

Omg Epoch agrees with me fuck yeah today is a good day
I understand being unique and such but the coding wreaks havoc on mobile, which is usually what I'm using.

so, hows everyone doing?
I'm doing great, just won 5 games of HOTS in a row.

ABadMagicPlayer100 says... #13
One of these days, when I'm not being lazy, I'll figure out a way to get my page to not destroy mobile devices (disable custom styling)... It really just isn't the same on that platform anyway and I've been looking into doing it for a while.

I figured it would not happen. That is why it is just a wish.
Like me finishing this modern deck. In time it might work out. Just 8 cards to go. Just 8...
June 5, 2015 12:07 a.m.
Custom backgrounds are ass. All of them. Most of the pictures are also in really shitty quality too since they're stretched so much, and that just makes everything worse than it already is.
June 5, 2015 12:17 a.m.
Didgeridooda says... #17
Is it frowned upon to bump your own trade thread into view? Talking about needing those cards really makes me want them now.

So Chicago was fun. Went out with my cousin and her bf to get deep dish pizza. Never had it before and it's pretty damn good. Then went to a winery in the city. Lastly went to the bar in my hotel. Which is an outside club, on the roof, with an amazing view of the skyline.
And the dog I'm picking up is super nice too. Super fun night.

Chicago style "pizza" looks good, but it is not pizza. It is casserole.
June 5, 2015 12:22 a.m. Edited.
ABadMagicPlayer100 says... #20
Chicago is a nice city, if all of my friends weren't here and I wasn't still in school, I'd move back in a heartbeat.
June 5, 2015 12:23 a.m.
Yes, it's a casserole. Not arguing. But it's better than it looks.
And honestly, going to an outdoor club on the top of a hotel is one of the coolest things I've done. View was awesome. Made my night.

now 7 games won in a row.
I'm on fire, plz help, I'm burning alive.
its very painful.

Didgeridooda says... #23
Sounds like you had a good time. I am not saying it can not be good. Many of the pictures I have seen look pretty good. I love casserole. I just like pizza more.
June 5, 2015 12:26 a.m.
Eh don't knock it til you try it. It was much better than I thought it was going to be. I've been fortunate enoughto be able to eat good pizza whenever I want, living on Long Island, and I'm telling you, this was pretty dang good. Very inexpensive too.

I missed all the cool stuff while I was at work. Sad face.

That moment when you go to sleep early because you have something really important to do the next day and wake up at 4 in the morning and can't go back to sleep.

Wow, much hate for fancy profiles... But yeah, you can't read those with a Nokia 3310. :<
Seriously, even this 2 years old Nokia I'm typing on that lags like a cat in a microwave has no problem opening those with internet explorer... And it's not only for my own profile!
Also, I'll be a bit late for the league, sorry for not killing you now my dear CanadianShinobi... Maybe this week end? :>
June 5, 2015 7:32 a.m.
I'm not doing as well as I'd hoped in the league. There are two games where I got Mana screwed like no one's business, and I was counting on one of them to be an easy matchup.

Slept poorly last night and my knee is killing me today. Also, elpokitolama, je vais te detruire.
So congrats, you made me use the extent of my French which is probably wrong.

I started lurking on reddit not too long ago, and found some forum for people who make knives. Can not remember where it was, but they were really nice. Made me want to get a hobby like that.

Why is everyone a pleb suddenly? I prefer calling everyone peasants.

Taters are delicious. Ergo you are implying that people are delicious. Which, in conclusion implicates you as a cannibal, Didgeridooda. It all makes sense now! The flickering lights, Sean Penn's career, the spiders, and the number 34579388458!

I only eat vegans. I don't want my food to hurt animals.
On a side note, wish me luck. Just agreed to send some cards out on pucatrade. Really hope it goes smoothly.

Epoch, what kind of knife is it? Is it something that folds up, or one with a sheath?
