Wow - Great!

I have run across a couple boards that, in an effort to stick with school colors,
have gone with a message board motif of very dark background with light print.
Here are a couple examples:

http://www.shockernet.net/sn/viewforum.php?f=1

We had briefly discussed eliminating the black and going with all red and white, but thought that centuries of history have proven that black print on a white background is still the most readable.
Any comments?
 
In case anyone wants one last look at the previous BradleyFans board, here is a link to it. It's still parked over at the old server--

I still like it's look (though I like this one better!), but the bright red and white sometimes bothered my eyes after a long time of viewing. The red on this board is actually closer to the true red of the uniforms, and the red color used on BUBraves.com themselves. And the black was chosen to make the board a little more aesthetic and easier on the eyes.

And if anyone is interested...the picture in the upper right was picked because it emphasizes what this board is all about-- the fans. That picture was taken last year at one of the Red-outs, against Illinois State, I believe. That was a record crowd of 11,444 and a huge blowout win by Bradley.
And that picture shows the name Bradley Braves nicely on the banners in the background.
Here is a link to a higher resloution version of the picture (click on the Larger button several times to maximize size)--

And in case you missed it, note that the BU Braves logo that appeared on the old site (the first link above) is gone now. We were asked not to use the official BU Braves logo to avoid any confusion that this site is not officially affiliated with BU.
 
I will add my congrats, nice site and clearly the best around cream of the crop in the Valley
I am puzzled as to why the site seems so much busier all of a sudden.
The front page shows 20 or 30 or more people online all the time, and sometimes over 100.
