Topic: New Forum Style (need your thoughts)

I just registered but I frequent this forum regularly. I always learn something new here while reading. I wanted to do something a little special and decided to create a skin dedicated to Ozone Asylum. It's nowhere near finished yet and is being designed as a skin for a software that has yet to hit it's first final release.

At this time I wanted to show it to you (rather what I've completed so far). I wanted to see if you guys had any problems with it being publicly released. If you guys mind, I won't release it. If you don't, I will. I would like to get some feedback. Note this is included within the .CSS file:

/* 
 * Style Sheet: Ozone Asylum Dedication (Best Damn Community, Period!)
 * Author: Dustin R Sanchez
 * Copyright: 2007 | 2008 Black Market Designs, All Rights Reserved
 *
 * This design was inspired by and is dedicated to the members of OzoneAsylum.com
 * Design started 12/22/2006 | Design Finished xx/xx/xxxx
 */

As for a preview:



Let me know your thoughts. Should I stop now or continue? It's not identical. I wanted to add a unique twist to it and the skin is about 30% complete. So, flame me. I've committed the ultimate crime.

Is it ok to do such a thing? I'll let others speak to that...

Personally, I just don't see the point.
Seems to me the only fitting way to make a design dedicated to a forum/site/man that has been all about original design work is to design something original...

FWIW

I agree with DL-44. The theme is part of what makes OA unique. No one can stop you from releasing it of course, but I would suggest not to.

Like I said, I won't. If you guys have a problem with it, of course. So, no worries.

I'm not too happy with how it's coming out anyhow. So.

i somehow share the opinion with the 2 inmates above. but archaic demigod, with such an attitude and respect to our community, you are more than welcome here
