Forest got a reaction from Thorax_ in Xeno Gamers | Trailer
Since it's a trailer (I imagine it will be the Channel trailer for Xeno Gamers' YouTube channel) you may just want to highlight the Game Divisions instead of Servers; that way you won't have to update it should there be additions or removal of Servers. Just a suggestion to make it easier on yourself

I think they should nor
No way to adjust that? so sad

The trailer is ready for edits at any time. I will edit the final slide, either removing the blurb or just slide it down a bit and have our slogan above it.
However I don't plan on making an edit for every single added or dropped server (or division) except after an extended amount of time.

Looks fantastic! The only thing I would even consider changing or altering would be the blurb at the end; possibly to whatever Xeno Gamers' slogan is/will be once it has been decided.

It (At least used to) not work in CSGO. Players could interact with all triggers and buttons. Also players can stand in front of CTs/Ts shooting and make them do less damage, as well as hear the constant damage sound. The player name will be visible to other players.

Assuming this is fucntionally identical to the CSS version which it appears to be, yes. They will be completely invisible. I haven't tested it yet and I dont know if you'd see them with your crosshair on them.
Cell doors should be open by the time anyone dies, and people closing cells isn't really very common.

You can simply type !redie again to get back to a spawn if you get stuck.

Title is self-explanatory. I'm using this thread to convey any suggestions or opinions on the new theme(s) for Xeno Gamers' rebooted forums.
This is not to be mistaken for the Bug Reports thread in which you report any bugs/issues you may come across during the usage of the forums. For any information regarding that, please keep it in the following thread: Forum Updates - REPORT GLITCHES HERE
This post only applies to the new Dark theme (V9).
[spoiler=Tan/Sand Colour Schemes]
[spoiler=Tan/Sand Colour Schemes]
User "Name Box"
Image: Gyazo - dd8c038d7ee6eb892762e5bb660f998e.png
This was the first thing I noticed on the new page; the large box surrounding the User's name and icon. Assuming that it isn't just a temporary colour, I would recommend a different colour altogether as it doesn't seem to blend well with the current colour scheme (black/cerulean(?)/gray).
Profile Post "Interact" Background
Image: Gyazo - 312b02d3d94c734d48e7d8f0685cf7ec.png
For the same reason mentioned above, I'd recommend a different colour here as well as it just doesn't seem like it fits well. As boring as it is, I personally think a transparent/opaque shade of Gray would better suit it.
[spoiler=Icon Colours]
Image: Gyazo - 1c67c78061e641b424d63503ffd5181f.png
I honestly don't dislike the Teal colour, it's far easier on the eyes than the Tan/Sand and it certainly changes up the colours in play, though again, I don't know if this particular colour blends well with the current colour scheme. I noticed that there are pink/salmon accents around, I don't know how well it would look but what if the background of the icons were that pink/salmon colour with the icons themselves either white/black? If not, you could even use the shade of Green on our Home Page (Gyazo - 723e4bd59c571befdb893573b7abde71.png) and that might actually compliment well.
[spoiler=Overall "Dark" Theme]
Image: Anywhere on the Forums under Dark Theme V9
I really like how modern and formal the whole thing looks, it really comes together nicely. My only grievance is that the Dark Theme is just.. Too Dark. I would suggest toning the shade of black back a bit more, reason being that (I've been on two different PCs and it's incredibly difficult to see) I noticed there are actually rectangular/square borders around certain things however the shades used are incredibly subtle making it nearly impossible to pick up on unless you have the brightness/contrast/whatever cranked up.
[spoiler=Shout Box User Names]
Image: Gyazo - d418d02fd0cacc792241f9c97d542f23.png
Again, I've been on a couple of PCs now so I've come to the general conclusion that the names (User Names) do in-fact appear fuzzy/blurry in the Shout Box. Would recommend a different Font [just for the User Names]. I've also noticed that this occurs when Bolding the default font when it is White, even in posts. Example of Bold
[spoiler=Code Coloured Sections Under New Posts]
Image: Gyazo - 68defd33632ae5e7ea93e05a6f7090b4.png
I really like the subtle code-colouring (the fine coloured [orange] bar adjacent to the thread) to distinguish between threads made in General as opposed to a thread made in a "[Division] Discussion" section. I'd recommend that each Division's Discussion section have its own colour-code to distinguish them from other Divisions. I think it would look really clean and would organize the New Posts section of the Forums without titles or anything.
[spoiler=Highlighted Text]
Image: General text functionality in posts
Is there any way to add a Highlighter functionality to the toolbar when making posts? I feel it would be a good addition for highlighting important content.
Please note that these are only suggestions/opinions on the overall Forums and that these do not have to be implemented in any shape or form.

Dark theme is currently way too dark. A dark shade of gray would be better imo. Keep the mobile site black as it really helps battery consumption on phones with AMOLED displays.
The headers in the shoutbox options are currently black, making them invisible on dark theme.
Other than that (and some of the things that have already been mentioned in this thread) i have no issues with the new forums. Mobile is 10/10 now!
Edit: The path shows up on the frontpage and serves no purpose except for taking up space
Edit 2: The page number box is white, looks very out of place

I hate you. I literally told you the home page will be cleaner and have more features and that I'm writing an about us section and those should be done this week. I was in your channel on teamspeak. You were busy on your damn boat with mince to pay attention. This is why owl lives don't matter

I agree highly with the icon colors. As Owl said (somewhat) when I first "updated" to this new forum, the icon colors threw me off completely, making it hard for me to understand what is what. If the sections for games, computer things, divisions, general/hellobyebyes, could be better outlined I feel that would help, but i'm honestly unsure of how that would be implemented in a... fashionable way.

Forest reacted to Owl in Forum Updates - Suggestions
Honestly, I'm not a fan of any of this. The old theme was much more user friendly, and the colors were less in-your-face. Also the homepage is kinda lacking; there should be a shoutbox, and the news threads should be more organized (and less huge, ideally we should just update it when new big news posts are made and include gfx or something that just link to the thread with a short desc. below?), and there should be an about us (afaik that'll be coming soon, at least)

Forest got a reaction from Oscar in Oscar - Counter-strike
Not posting this with the intention of muddying up this thread, more-so for the 10/10 replies and the fact that I found this sh*t hilarious as f*ck.
I personally don't have any sort of opinion regarding his behaviour and such since I never hung out with the surf crowd back in the day plus I was still a freshman (JB for lyfe baybee), though I digress since that isn't exactly relevant to the initial ban for hacking. That being said, if it's true that he has already been unbanned before (twice[?]) I'd be incredibly hesitant to unban again, even though there are a few solid points in that it's common knowledge that we did/do stupid sh*t at a young age. As common as that excuse is, there is a whole lot of validity with it; one of the few.. Excuses, for a lack of better words, that I would consider positively vouching for. Though he did mention that he was VAC'd on two accounts a year ago, which doesn't quite help his case (though I seriously commend him for enclosing that info in his Ban Protest).
My problem with unbanning in situations like this is that the ol' "we can just unban him, and if he messes up again, we'll reban him" excuse has already been previously used. It really doesn't give Xeno Gamers a strong stance in punishment when so many people are let off the hook with the exact same reasoning as they were given when they were unbanned prior; but that may just be me being a rule-nazi for a Gaming community.
Strong +/- 0 for this case for the reasons stated above. But if an unban is really being considered, I'd recommend that at the very least the player demonstrates activity on the forums (however irrelevant to the initial ban for hacking it is) to showcase this change-of-heart and supposed care for the community before being unbanned. At least then it'll seem more genuine (not implying that his initial post wasn't).

Removed hooking command "joingame", which would automatically move everyone to T when they first connected.
Version advertising is now printed once every 4 rounds
Add command sm_specplayer <player>. This forces you to spectate a person, workaround for when you can't spectate a specific person.
Fixed swapteam not showing activity.
LRs will no longer be aborted for team damage.
LRs that teleport the player will now teleport them 100 units ahead instead of 200.
Added command sm_leavequeue. Leaves the guard queue.
