Ok, we all know it's terrible, now, let's invent some sort of anti-award that we can give to Zombiebaron for creating what is historically the worst and most pointless reskin ever. I'm thinking URotM (Useless Reskin of the Month) ? -- Prof. Olipro KUN (W)Anchor Op Bur. (Harass) 01:11, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I like Tim's new reskin. I'd probably like it a lot better if it didn't make my browser crash... --EMC ^[TALK] 01:13, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

And your eyes bleed? -- Prof. Olipro KUN (W)Anchor Op Bur. (Harass) 01:14, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes that too. --EMC ^[TALK] 01:17, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I think we should just vote for him on UGotM, instead. Kill 2 birds with one stone. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​UU​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 01:18, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Or we should just kill him with many stones. --EMC ^[TALK] 01:21, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

You're giving all the credit to the wrong person. In fact, this idea was born among the unscrutinizeable gray cells of Modusoperandi, who called in Mordillo, who in turn recruited me (to fill a couple of sandbags, not much) and finally ZB as the sysop branch of our filthy conspiracy. This if I'm not forgetting someone. -- herr doktor needsApistol  [scream!] 01:28, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Mordillo, me, Zb, you, methinks. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 04:48, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I say KILL THEM ALL! Sir Cs1987 UOTM. t. c 02:06, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I say we still just kill ZB. --EMC ^[TALK] 02:08, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I've fixed the colours, and now it's not so bad at all. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 02:09, 25 May 2007

Too late. The damage has been done. --EMC ^[TALK] 02:10, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

It's the regular main page with black links and changed wording... Lackluster doesn't even begin to describe the feeling. -- Prof. Olipro KUN (W)Anchor Op Bur. (Harass) 02:39, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey, Mordillo wrote poetry! Just for you! Friggin' Vogon poetry, man! You're grossly underestimating the value of a good Vogon poem. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 04:48, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Spang, how about quickly making it all pale purple and green? None of this regular blue stuff. -- The Zombiebaron 02:43, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree. The current one is to painful on the eyeballs, but Spangs was too boring. Let's go for something in between. Sir Cs1987 UOTM. t. c 03:32, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I like the idea... Something both painful and boring... -- §. | WotM | PLS | T | C | A 05:06, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes! Perfect! Sir Cs1987 UOTM. t. c 05:06, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Seems like we reached an agreement. -- herr doktor needsApistol  [scream!] 05:23, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Why are we linking to wikipedia? I thought we were cool. Aaadddaaammm 09:42, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

A history of reskin

All right, here is the history.

I started the idea of a reskin towards the upcoming "Towel Day" which is today. Those of you who don't know - this is the memorial for Douglas Adams. Those of you who don't know who that is, can rot in Vogonsphere. The reskin was then conceptualized by my dear demented friend MO, designed by the artist formerly known as ZB, and refined by the VFH monster, Herr Doktor. A lot of work was put into it, mainly in terms of text - so if you take a minute and read through... As for the horrible colors: WAKE UP! These are Vogons, you think that those who write Vogon poetry care about color schemes? AH?! I personally sass all gentlemen mentioned above. They know where their towel is. ~ 07:29, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, as I said on some other page, I think it's the best reskin we've ever had. Hilarious text, beautifully awful colours and a snazzy logo. Made me laugh out loud the first time I saw it, and I don't think a main page has ever done that before. Feature! -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 09:33, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

You clearly never saw Em: then. :P -- Sir Codeine K·H·P·B·M·N·C·U·Bu. · (Harangue) 09:37, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

You obviously never saw Zb: then. :P -- The Zombiebaron 14:04, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I saw Em:, but then I needed counselling and they advised me to suppress the memories. And Zb:, while of course awesome, is suspected vanity, so doesn't qualify. (:-P) -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 14:35, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Interesting, I'm surprised we didn't go for the obvious reskin: the guide itself. This is pretty cool too though --Kelpan 21:31, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I thought that would've been, y'know, too obvious. Mordillo tried to talk me out of it, but I was all "Moo ha-ha!" and rubbing my goattee in a nefarious manner. Then Zb tried to eat my brain and Herr Doctor took it from him and used in a Frankensteinesque experiment of some kind. I'm still waiting for it back. What were we talking about? Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 00:37, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

here's your prize

Number 51. --» >UF|TLK|▋» 02:45, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Did you actually read anything that I wrote? ~ 17:42, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

You know, we're not even quite halfway through the year yet and we're already on number 51. Maybe we could be a bit more selective on what constitutes a reflection, hmm? -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 07:00, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh come on, not ONE mention of arc2.0??? ~ Dame Ceridwyn ~ talk DUN VoNSE arc2.0 08:27, 26 May 2007

No no, that's obviously one of the best reflections! And can't believe you thought any different! • Spang • ☃ • talk • 11:41, 26 May 2007

So tell me, what the heck did I just read? Because after perusing it I suddenly feel enchanted on the outside and cold on the inside.^{[It should be the other way around, consarnit!]} --L 14:20, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

49... I'm gonna start pruning some of these soon... -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 10:40, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
