*** ZeroGain Design Changes for Wider Appeal ***

[Telkman]

Hello folks,

It will probably come as no surprise to you that ZeroGain's audience is very skewed towards males. However, looking over the member and guest statistics for the last couple of years, we've found an alarming decrease in our proportion of female visitors.

We've no desire to exclude females from the user base, so we've done a little research with some of our female users as to what may be keeping them away. One of the main issues that arose was the styling of the site, and to correct this oversight, we've tweaked the design slightly to widen our appeal to a greater demographic. We'll continue to serve our existing audience, but we'll be working to find a balance that will work for everyone.

Any thoughts or comments are much appreciated.

Cheers!

Mark

Edit:
In case you've arrived to the thread late, the change to our colour scheme was indeed an april fool's joke, as seen below:

Pink, by Aerosmith

Pink it's my new obsession
Pink it's not even a question
Pink on the lips of your lover, 'cause
Pink is the love you discover
Pink as the bing on your cherry
Pink 'cause you are so very
Pink it's the color of passion
`Cause today it just goes with the fashion
Pink it was love at first sight, yea
Pink when I turn out the light, and
Pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight
You could be my flamingo
'Coz pink is the new kinda lingo
Pink like a deco umbrella
It's kink - but you don't ever tell her
Pink it was love at first sight
Pink when I turn out the light
Pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight
I want to be your lover
I wanna wrap you in rubber
As pink as the sheets that we lay on
Pink is my favorite crayon, yeah
Pink it was love at first sight
Pink when I turn out the light
Pink it's like red but not quite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight
