I know this is kind of a corny poll, but it's going to help me a lot when I re-do the site sometime next year......

Im wondering if you guys like white, or somewhat darker background colors on the sites you surf. Please post your vote.

Gray or silver seems to be easier on the eyes as far as I view. but then that is just my $.02 worth...

The way it is now is just right.

I guess this is either gray or silver isn't it.

I think the colors you currently have are the easiest on the eyes. Anything else seems to give me headaches

Like the colors, however if you are going to make changes, I have a suggestion......

Everytime a link gets clicked on, the whole page reloads, even the graphics at the top, maybe there could be a static top banner, and have every page change be beneath it. Also, maybe using some sort of java script for the chat room, I use sattelite, but I don't have any problems with any other websites about the download speeds of the page refreshes. Maybe cause this server is so busy.......

just a suggestion!! luv the site layout too!

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

The grey is fine. The only thing I really don't like is the dark blue scroll bar bar on the blue background on the right side of my screen. The contrast is not enough in certain kinds of light.

I think it is great just the way it is, why mess with a good thing? maybe different colors for the side scroller, but thats it.

Grey. I really like the way the site is layed out now. It's been the easiest on my eyes. White is usually too bright and hurts the eyes after too long.

I really like the readability as it is now- with any harder or lower contrast it would put more strain on the eyes- I think it's optimal right now !
