oochymp 2,393 Posted October 24, 2014 First off, the skins are all great and thanks to the folks who put in the time to make them and I think the variety of skins is one of the best things this site has (aside from great members, of course) That said, could we get the picture of MJD as a Jag off of the default skin (The Gridiron Palace 3.4.5)? This is the skin that all visitors to the site see and I think it makes the board look a little off to have a player in the wrong jersey, I don't really care who replaces him, maybe we should go with a couple legends so we don't have to continually update it? I don't really care if we replace him with a current player or who we use, I just think the two players on top of the page should be in the right jerseys 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge+ 3,436 Posted October 24, 2014 I think in the off-season they will be looking to make several new skins. The board in general is going to be upgraded then. I don't know if they'll make all new skins for every team, but I think Vin said something about making at least 2 or 3 new skins, including a new default skin.

Vin+ 3,121 Posted October 24, 2014 Yeah, pretty much all the skins need to be redone, and I think the amount of skins is probably something that needs to be addressed. Unfortunately, I don't think any results are going to be seen for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanbrock 1,684 Posted October 24, 2014 I love the Eagles skin. LeSean McCoy isn't going anywhere and Brian Dawkins the GAWD is always a good choice. I'd be cool if we voted again. My vote for the players on the default skin are Watt and Aaron Rodgers. Two best players in the league for the best football forum on the interwebz 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted October 24, 2014 Watt and Russell Wilson IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.AirMcNair. 1,232 Posted October 24, 2014 Or Joe Montana and Lawrence Taylor so we don't risk any team switching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maverick 791 Posted April 24, 2015 Just thought it was worth bumping since both players are no longer active NFL players. Not a huge issue but it probably scares away more visitors than you'd think. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BLUE 1,026 Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) The 2 people that made the current team skins are no longer active. Also, this: At first it was weird since MJD retired, but now it effectively works as a fitting tribute to two very good players of the 00s.

Dutch 874 Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) Yeah I agree. The default skin is outdated. MJD hasn't been good for years and should have been removed ( ) even before he retired. Only Jag bias has kept him as a skin. Willis is gone as well. At first it was weird since MJD retired, but now it effectively works as a fitting tribute to two very good players of the 00s. More Jag bias lol. It's 2015. The NFL is revolutionizing right before our eyes and there are so many exciting players/stars in our league. The 2000's are done and over with. We have to stay relevant and keep up with the rest of the league especially with how fast it's going. Let's do the NFL players and fans some justice here. I'd be weary checking out a website that has MJD on it too Mojo needs to gogo Edited April 25, 2015 by Dutch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteVo+ 3,702 Posted April 25, 2015 Yeah, I agree with Vin's comment. MJD and Willis were two great players who were mostly loved by the masses at TGP. Leave 'em on the banner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oochymp 2,393 Posted April 25, 2015 Yeah, I tend to agree, now that they're both retired it works fine, I made this thread when MJD was wearing a Raiders uni, which made having him at the top of our page in the wrong uni look out of date. But with both retired I think it gives more of a classic look and I like the throwback to the start of the board, and who in their right mind would remember MJD as a Raider?

Dutch 874 Posted April 25, 2015 Bah. Doesn't really make a difference either way tbh. Apparently the MJD being better than A.P debates (IRL) and having MJD ranked higher than A.P on RB list still run deep within me lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge+ 3,436 Posted April 25, 2015 I really disagree with the idea that the banner is pushing visitors away. Forums as a whole are a dying niche, and they have been for years now. Our banner isn't really going to affect anything either way to be honest. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
