It looked like that. Although it didn't have the Google ads on the top and bottom.

Way cool, a page from old Gametoast. It's really neat to see it again after so long.

I wouldn't say it was better necessarily. It was a lot different. We're a lot bigger than we were. The only thing I miss is the 'all in one' functionality of the old site. We had a files section, news, guruchat and the forums. From the sounds of it, it looks like Guru's heading that way with this version of the site.

I gotta say though, having been here a long time I've gotten used to this color scheme and like it much better. The boards are much more functional and reliable than the old ones, and moderating users is 100x easier. The only things I don't like about the new forums are the fact that URL links don't stand out (they're the same color/font as regular text) and that external links don't open in a new window by default.

Welcome back GuruChat!!!! :D

Ahhh, the old Gametoast I just love those colors, the old logo, the whole layout. It seems so refreshing.

Those were the days.

I have to agree though, while I like the old colors much better, I have gotten used to this color. I never thought I would, but I have.

Hahahah, back when Xavious was Darth_Maul :D
Wow, that's so weird. It seems like I'm still a noob here. Like, holy crap, I've been here for like 2 years :|
Although I really miss the old GT, I also really like the new one.

Also, that was made by Raptor, as it says on it :P

Me too. However, I like this color scheme better. This one seems more user friendly. :P

The layout seems nicer. The other one seemed like one of those, I don't really know how to describe it, unprofessional, thrown together sites. Its just my opinion, but I personally like this style. :yes:

Edit: Oh my goodness I love the new homepage! Good work Guru it looks really proffessional and has a nice flare to it! :thumbs: :wink:

I like the new Look of the Main Page besides of the Pic that you choose :runaway: The old GT Logo looks much better.You could use it for the MainPage but please,i you change the Forum Look,dont remove the cool altering Banners.
I also would like to see the old Forum Theme and Color and like Hebes wrote,the good old Quick Reply Button would be nice.
