ok i've been thinking about the suggested THEY LIVE sunglasses button. here's what it should do
  • change all posts to white text on black
  • change all ads to ones from they live that say like THIS IS YOUR GOD
  • greyscale all images on the page
  • mod avatars are replaced with the alien heads (normal posters stay the same)
  • reveal all spoiler text
  • don't replace all text on the page or anything that's lame because then you can't read any posts

Maybe it can enact a select list of word filters instead

use a line quote style like this:




add the SA grenade to the last post like this:




then make avatars/gangtags/custom text look like advertisements for our usernames




can't you just see this as a forums post?








also do this

Please do not change the CSS for CSPAM. Let's not go the way of YOSPOS and become a weird, insular community.

Counterargument: Leave the default stylesheet as-is for cspam, but add a bunch of really cool and awesome stylesheets for people who want to browse in style~*

This, by the way, is why CSPAM can't choose your own moderators: They're casually homophobic.

Never mind that the entire site is riddled with Nazi apologists, there's accusations of "casual homophobia" that will never be substantiated.

Throw off your loving buttons, get purged while holding them, or end up just like them. Your choice.

any way this could be tiled in the background?

being a weird insular community is a badge of honor, but also I hope any stylesheet is a toggle just to make Jeffrey’s life as inconvenient as possible.

Hi, I don't post in C-SPAM much, but I like to lurk several threads like capitalism.png and climate change and stuff like that.

I am old enough to have loved and read and posted in LF back in the old days, and while LF got weirder and weirder as it reached the end of its life, when it got a big loving dumb obnoxious stylesheet that was the moment I stopped reading it because it was actively displeasing to look at and navigate. I'd guess there are a lot of low-activity people like myself who enjoy reading forums with avatars and sigs turned off, a nice uniform wall of white and grey rectangles that you can have open at work and not have to worry about somebody asking you what the gently caress you're reading.

If folks are bound and determined to double down on making C-SPAM totally unwelcome to occasional readers, lurkers, or new users then please consider making the stylesheet optional.

So that's my dumb and unwelcome opinion.


e: yeah I don't think the horrendous and off-putting stylesheet did LF any favors in terms of "bringing it back to normal" vvvv

lf's stylesheet was pushed onto it during the FORUMS CANCER era iirc

edit: it was ugly though, no argument there

LF's style sheet was ugly BUT it directly led to me making a long-time RL friend because he recognized the stylesheet at a glance

I was working my first week at a new job directly after graduating, and one day one of my coworkers goes "hey so not that I make a habit of looking at your monitor but I was passing by and, are you reading LF"

I was like "yeah lmao" and we bonded over our lovely boss, then we started hanging out and became good friends

in conclusion stylesheet decisions are a land of contrasts~*

what if it had the forum subtitle on it?



sure, just do the text in the actual html so it will be centered, don't actually post a giant jpg image at the top of the page

also, if it's going to look like a newspaper header, it should have a third line of small text that says the date on the left side ("Tuesday, January 15th") and "69˘" on the right

and maybe also "Day Crew Edition" or "Nite Krew Edition," depending on what time it is
