Blackmailing older members seems like a great idea to me. An example would be :
If you do not rejoin the site then we will have crait send over his chickens at night to haunt you.
or
If you do not rejoin the site then BKF will make sure that you do not receive burgers from Burger King.
or some more :P

Sad thing is, I think they would ready their bbq stands instead of getting scared. :P

On a more serious note, can't we send an email to all the users sent by the brew saying something worthy to come back for or something like that?

Lol you mean like those "We miss you" emails that I get from some services that I signed up for once and never went back.

Yea I'm pretty sure I've seen an option for that to mass email all the members. I'm currently not all that pleased with the forum layout as it is though, the way the subforums are set up. The only problem is we don't really have readily available access to the server unless we get in contact with nik, but that's understandable. If anyone has any idea's aside from anything that requires custom coding or the likes then I'd be glad to implement them if there is enough support.

Don't forget the overly Default/Bright theme. Burns my eyes if I surf the forum too long.

If you do put a new theme, you can send the massmail thing saying,
"We would like you to know that a new them has been installed on the brew."

And thats it, people might actually come back :D

He's right. Rather than fix my problem by turning my brightness down every time I go on THIS site, yes, it's ONLY this site. Why not just fix it by installing a new theme?

Are you guys able to install themes without accessing the server?
I'm going to send a mass email out inviting those that aren't old or upgraded from a crt are more than welcome to come back to the site ;)
But really I've never had a problem with looking at white on my monitor, maybe it's just me but I've seen websites where the whole website is white and that did get irritating a little but with all the grey on this page it doesn't bother me I guess. Like google, all white.

I think we were trying to install a bunch of themes or something when we upgraded the site and we needed a certain theme or something idk. Either that or nic never got around to it.
