Ahh the new Farm is too bright/cheery/fluffy

[Mudcrutch]

No worries, a dark design is also being developed.

You will eventually be able to select to see which design you prefer - light or dark.

[Refugee]

Yeah, this is a bit too cutesy, lol.

[Mudcrutch]

Haha yes no doubt.. I dig this sorta style though (safe to admit?) -- retro 80s. so I wanted to try it. I can see many people choosing the dark theme when I add it. It will be more "bad-ass." :)

[Marion]

It is pretty easy on the eyes but I like the dark design better.

[Pettyphile]

A little darker...but not too dark, please. :-)

[acomplexkid]

I may have a dark soul, but I like this bright blue!

[emmie]

I kind of like it brighter as well.

[Mudcrutch]

woo hoo some votes for the brighter! nice.

[Doxiejoe]

I also prefer the brighter style. Its easier to read.

[C-line]

I very much prefer a lighter design for the Farm, not that I'm here that much though! I like this a lot, Ryan! Maybe a little less bright would be ok. It's a little easier to read long passages of text if it's not reversed out of a dark background.

But, the Knobs site is way cool! I think that's perfectly appropriate for that site. Did you design that, Ryan?

[surfnburn]

I like it dark and mysterious....

[Katie]

If "Free Fallin" were a color scheme, this would be it. I quite like the style. I think Tom is quite bright/cheery/fluffy himself ;)

[Danny Mac]

I vote for a bit darker! A bit to Happy for me! Needs some
dirt or Mud involved.

[C-line]

I feel like I'm in a peppermint patty.

[acomplexkid]

I don't know if it has to do with the color, but the pages sure load faster for me than the old farm did. I like it!

[Mudcrutch]

interesting take on it.. thanks..

I don't know if it has to do with the color, but the pages sure load faster for me than the old farm did. I like it!

well the old farm was on an antiquated system, this new system is a lot slicker.. so yes everything should be faster/better.

[agirl]

I actually like this light design. Much easier on these old eyes.

[Mudcrutch]

But, the Knobs site is way cool! I think that's perfectly appropriate for that site. Did you design that, Ryan?

yea i did the graphics.

the dark version of the farm will definitely be knobesque... :)

[Echosoftom]

I like it okay, it's just going to take some time to get use to it. It's definitely brighter and cheerier. I'm sure there's going to be some debate about this over the next few days.

[Mary Jane 49]

I think i`ll like the darker version better , but i don`t mind this one either , as long as the farm is here i `m ok!:)

[WildflowerNJ]

I love just being here, Ryan...but yes, I like things dark and mysterious, too....

[MJ§LastDance]

My first post :)
You can accusTom to everything :) I really don´t care which design you choose, the main thing is that the Farm is back ;) YAY!
You guys did a great job, although I miss the galleries and my number of posts! LOL

[Pettyjunkie]

Yeah, the brightness is a little shocking. I miss the dark.

Off subject, but that is a very cute photo of Tom you have there in your avatar. Where did you find that?


Oh, and I still like it bright here, the dark was a little hard on my old eyes.

[petty4me]

I like the light color too - it is easier on the eyes. Altho, would you please consider a lovely shade of pink? LOL Just kidding - blue is good :)

[KansasPettyFan]

Bad ass! That's what I want! lol

[AmyLou]

Have to admit, while the dark was more rockin' this lighter site is MUCH easier on the eyes... got to look at our demographic! ;)

[Refugee]

^ Now see, for me it's the opposite. The darker site is much easier on my eyes. This light and bright scheme hurts them. :cool:

[Magnolia]

I vote for this lighter & brighter style!

[Marion]

It's really starting to grow on me.

Ryan, I think it would feel more like home if you had some TPATH photos or the heart and guitar here and there....banners or something across the top.

[Mudcrutch]

yep that is in the works.. ;)

[C-line]

I really like a lot of the features of this new forum. Very slick!

[petty4me]

Blue Sunday :)

[Wildflower]

This lighter design is easyer to read, but it looks to "clinical" to me. Maybe you can use a darker color for the background and a lighter for the - oh I dont´t know the word in english - the field where you are writing in.

[wild1forever]

I'm glad to read that a dark design is coming! Maybe it's just habit, but that version is easier on my eyes.

[MJ§LastDance]

YAY, that´s a GREAT color and design!!! And I love the little picture of Tommy above, haha!

[LizzieB]

I LOVE the new banner!!

I like the lighter version as opposed to the old darker version, because it's easier to read. But could it be lighter, yet monochromatic? Grey/black/white/red? The blue just doesn't seem "TPATHish" to me.

Whatever the color scheme, I'm just happy to be here.

[Wildflower]

Yeah, blue seems sort of wrong.....

[emmie]

Hey Ryan, maybe you should make it pink like the original officials?

[Mudcrutch]

you mean like this:

http://web.archive.org/web/20020213083854/www.aimoo.com/forum/freeboard.cfm?id=309017

[Wildflower]

That is not pink, that is orange.....
Hmmm - maybe you should try it for a few days and see how the farmers like it.....But use a different background, something darker.

[emmie]

Ahhh the good old days Ryan! The chat room was pink remember?

[Wildflower]

Oh, you created a new logo.....

[Wildflower]

Tom is a little small.... and so - colorless......:icon_confused:

[Mudcrutch]

small? no way. he is TOWERING over the forum! :)

[MJ§LastDance]

He looks like a tourist attraction! :D

[Refugee]

I think you should add the HBs on that banner, not just Tom.

[Mudcrutch]

who is saying that is tom?

sort of looks anonymous to me.

[Refugee]

Puhlease, lol.

[Pettyjunkie]

LOL! Yeah sure.

[EpiphanyDH]

Hello. How are you? I am new here. I just registered.
I am a big fan of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers.
I think they are cute and that they sing nice.

Goddamn I leave for 2 weeks and the whole world turns upside down!!!
DOUBLE GODDAMN BECAUSE I AM BLINDED!!! HELL I DON'T EVEN LIKE THE DAYTIME!!!

Where's my avatar?
Where are the pictures?
Where's MJ?
Where are WildflowerNJ's flowers?
Where are my mommy and daddy?
Who am I?
Is George Bush still president?

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok ok I will try very hard to calm down. Abrupt change is very... well... very abrupt to me. LOL. I will try to deal with this though as it is not the end of the world. Possibly. My eyes hurt. Might have to put a light blue or red scarf over my monitor when I come on here. Change is always scary but I will do my best to have the courage to carry on.

This is traumatic.

Alright enough whining and complaining, I'm a little confused but I'll get used to it in time.
Maybe.


I'm just glad you're all still here. :heart: :045: :heart:

[Mudcrutch]

Ok next time I will send you a telegram. Lucky guess on your part. Yes I was in East Hampton with Tom and the boys. Out on the island. Great show although the crowd kept yelling "Play 'Born To Run' and 'Bruuuuuce'". I think there might have been some confusion on their part and it was very annoying. I slipped at one point on a pound of caviar and sprained my ankle and knee. No problem though, I recuperated with Tom at my side and we drank a lot of margarita's and discussed the Iraq War and supply side economics. Later we went to an orgy at Billy Joel's house. Lot's of friendly people there. The mayor of New York (Mike Bloomberg), Alberto Gonzalez, David Hasselhoff, Karl Rove, Osama Bin Laden, Johnny Depp and the Queen of England. You might know a few of those people. OH! Tom says "HI" and "please cut down on the chocolate, too much sugar."

Did you like the photo I posted above? I took that at the show. He autographed it for me afterwards. He had a little plastic surgery to "freshen up" his appearance. Looks pretty good.

So now I'm back and horribly depressed again. I did mention to Tom about doing a show just for the Mudcrutch Farmers here somewhere. He said he would seriously consider it and get back to me. He'd have to check it out with Ryan as well.

It was a swell two weeks.
I got a tee shirt. :cool:

I like both the light and dark. I must admit when I was first posting on the light it drove me nuts but now I am happy with it.
