Yeah back about a year or so ago there was a discussion or two on the OGP forums about trying to get the Wikia more current and what peoples thoughts were. I was one of the ones that did want everything blue. Among other more pressing things obviously, like the need for better ship templates and stuff that I think Dajan has done a great job on. Anyway, the whole theme of all the windows in game is blue. And ivyro, which we were all used to was all blue themed. And I believe ivyro tried to mimic the style of the in game windows. So I totally get the whole blue thing. It seems like an obvious thing to do that everyone would be into.

But after a while, spending more and more time here on the Wikia I got used to the brown. I actually like brown in general. Being that we are sticking with the brown I think it would be cool to work in some wood grain backgrounds or some antique parchment to offset it, but that's a little beyond me atm. And currently my thoughts are more tied up with learning how to get proficient with adding content quickly and efficiently so I can contribute without it taking me all day.

I also hope that the more new content we get on here, the more people will be drawn to it and possibly decide contribute. Maybe things will snowball here a little bit. I know right now there is only a handful of people working hard and adding tons of content. If a lot more people would come and each just add a little here and there it would spread out the work load.

But there is a learning curve here and you have to really be motivated to figure out whats going on. One of my hopes with creating this thread here was to make things a little easier on people wanting to get started.

And back to the old vs new icons. I get what you are saying about that style-wise. But they do match the rest of the ones like the required fame, and exp and fame rewards which all have the blue backgrounds and are going to be there in the table regardless. When I asked Dajan about it he said the one with the blue backgound was preferred but the no background one was allowed also. So going from Dajan's telling me it was preferred, coupled with the fact that it matched the other icons in the table, and it had the peek function where the other didn't I figured it was the best way to go.
