we are but i don't think the idea was ever to have like eight different options for what type of pips you want! like i think it is just VOTE FOR ONE and not VOTE FOR YOUR TOP THREE.

Yeah, sorry, I thought steel meant just deciding between pips or no pips and not voting for particular pips.

post counts need to be backed by dapp. post count is worth nothing and you can print as many posts as you want. as far as i am concerned we have a fiat post count system. this is why i am suggesting the dapp pip:

the more you contribute to society (user group) the bigger your dapp bars will be

fyi if you do this have the only options being pips or no pips.

some of these are really cool but they defeat the purpose if everyone just chooses their own design, and there's enough stupid javascript floating around anyways.

Uh maybe you misunderstood but if only I can see the pips I go with (vs the html stuff which everyone else sees) then having a bunch of different pips really doesn't do anything bad (as long as the default is either no pips or something very simple/unobtrusive). So yea 3 options would be swell if it was the same thing as turning avatars/sigs (a profile option). Pips would still be uniform so I don't see any problem and could be a cool premium feature

Also fuck everything I said earlier those burgers are really cool and I'm voting for them.

i dont think it would work that way though, that you would only see the pips that you chose. seems like extra coding!

unless it would in which case w/e.

I like the lego bricks, but it just looks toooo fancy and bright. Pips need to be subtle things that are only in the peripheral vision of someone viewing the page. Soft pips are the way to go.

Like if Lego had a forum, I could see them using those pips.

I just took a look at the official LEGO message boards and they use very similar icons for the thread ratings, but their pips are yellow LEGO coins.

Wow, their icons for their threads are almost exactly the same, except for color! Like, the view and everything.

Coincidence?

Psychoskulls looks fucking awesome and artistic, but I just don't think it fits in and again draws too much attention.

I liked the old pips, but I made some pips but they're not so great.

Potionpips and Starpips

Uh and some regularish pips

Honestly, if the old pips were an option to vote for, I would vote for them. They were fine, I don't exactly see what was wrong with them.

yea if it takes any unnecessary work than yea fuck that but I don't think it would that hard since forums are already set up for different skins (I think)

Those look nice, but they're a little eye catching. People have been saying they prefer subtlety in pips (or no pips at all).

I think mine are somewhere inbetween. I've spiffed them up a bunch since page 2.Even though people hate Foget more than all the rest.

Sunglasses are for mods/staff/admins/people who can change the site. Red eyes are for banned/banished/pedo/bad groups. XX eyes are for fallen heroes and ^^ eyes are for Flower Boys. Everybody else gets normal eyes...thought that would add a little something to it.

YES. Foget pips. This is where it's at (ie youstolemyidea).
