Well... I'm not worried either way. :P

The way I see it, the leader of a forum is not at all superior to anyone else. They have more abilities, yes, but also have more responsibility--people trust them to manage the community well, which is really stressful if things start to get bumpy. It's not fair to think of them as some faceless authority that simply makes rules and punishes people.

Because of this, I will always be as frank with them as I will be with anyone else. (Which is admittedly pretty tame to begin with because I try to play a diplomat more often than not when confronting anyone.)

On the flipside, its very easy to get on a bit of a power trip when you manage a community... It's easy to ban people for holding different opinions from your own or simply because you don't like them. This is why I think some people are hesitant to talk normally to people that hold any kind of power.

I can understand that, but I don't share it. If the administration situation was really terrible here (It's not, I think Xero does a great job..!), I would be happy to take my leave anyway.

But those are just my views.

Hee. Maybe. :V

Well, I gathered that it was impossible...and that it would take way too much effort to pull off even if it was possible.

Mind you, I'm not mad at the outcome of the logo thing--don't get me wrong... I just didn't particularly like that Xero said that everything I claimed was false and prevented any dialogue past that. You see, I try to be as honest as possible, so when someone paints me otherwise, it frustrates me.

I am sure it was just an oversight and no malice was meant, but it still ended up being frustrating...Enough that made me want to point and say "Hey! You see that thing you said I was lying about? Check this out!". I actually sent a PM to Xero with my hack, and then when I got a response later I felt bad because I think I might have made him feel bad.

The thing is, internally, I kinda overreact to that sort of thing, it's my own mental hangup I've got to work on. I realize that. So, I'm sorry to say but, just try to ignore it. The last thing I want is for people to feel like they are walking on eggshells around me; so I am working on it.

I want to do things that make people happy, so this sort of thing isn't really becoming of me.

It happened a few times actually, the most recent time was here. It doesn't matter too much though, I really shouldn't be trying to make decisions for the site anyway; I was getting waaay ahead of myself.

It's funny how that works. That happens so often that there is actually a saying that goes something like: "The more you invent something, the more it starts looking like a wheel."

Then again, that isn't always a bad thing--because you can get to understand wheels really well if you do that. :V

I can see why you'd think that, but the two concepts can't really be related.

I guess if you are looking for something similar in an OO language, in Java, the closest thing you would find to the concept of CSS classes are annotations...

You see, at their core, CSS classes are just a piece of meaningless metadata that let you grab ahold of particular elements in a document of some form, whereas OO classes are templates for "Objects"; containers that group together relevant information for some purpose. OO classes also contain "methods"; pieces of code that can be used with the information in the objects a class creates.

CSS classes don't have inheritance, because they are just text, OO classes on the other hand can inherit from other classes, implement interfaces, or even be abstract so they can only be used by having something inherit from them.

Thanks for the support, but nah..!

Honestly, my CSS is just a quick hack because I got frustrated that it was called "impossible" after all my explaining otherwise. (Those were my other reasons) That said, when the site gets updated officially, my hack won't be terribly useful... So it's just a temporary fix.

As for classes, OOP classes and CSS classes are very different animals. CSS classes are just a way of being able to grab onto particular elements to style them. They are essentially a name for a group of CSS rules. Elements can have multiple classes, which applies rules for all CSS that matches.

A common way to change the appearance of some element between predefined styles is to change one class with another so one set of CSS rules no longer applies to it, while another one suddenly does... This was my strategy, since you would only need to change a String to swap between logos, and it could be done either in a browser or serverside.

So, no OOP here. :V

Does that kinda make sense?

Well... The JavaScript suggestion was a way to get around not doing anything to the server code. Essentially, all that would need to be done is to change the "class" of the logo so different CSS would update the logo.

Actually, when the thread closed, I did a super-quick CSS hack on my end to update the logo for myself. (Among other things) I was hoping for a more official solution that everyone could use, but since no changes are going to happen for a while, I figured I may as well write something in the meantime at least.

As for your idea, maybe! You can pitch it when the redesign is in progress.

the hardst part about voiceing my opion is i low selfesteam due to bullys when i was inschool i bet not many can relate to that atleast on my leval stabed rocks sticks mobs of kids and yea jus cus i was difrant and wasnt afraid to express it and some others reasons that arnt known at this time

diaperd anime is like a body we all do our part to make the conmuity better as a whole as much as i disagree with your idea of the logo change i respect your opinon it takes alot of guts to speek openly i did so not to long ago and pepole convincevd me it was a dumb idea but ima still fight for it but my concern is

the curant logo i feel repreents evryone and if its changed to show all types in more depth then a certin group may be highlighted like the yuri group might focus yuri as the center of the site wich is not what your trying to do and i feel as a member and my input is ageanst your opinon i hope you acept it

btw when i said i know its hard speeking your opinon on this site wich dam reminds me of high school here is a link to my lame idea
