The Escapist's New Background

[Owlslayer]

Sweet, very awesome of the Escapist to give the choice of background to our own hands.
And i have to say, the puppies are cool...but really, really seizure-ish. But cool nonetheless.

Thankyou to anyone who made this happen - now I can read the Escapist in my darkened lair again!

Thanks to the ideas group I've been seeing some of these all week, but I see there are now even more choices, awesome!

This is good. It finally feels like the Escapist again, while also having a new and up to date feel. I have yet to check out the extra backgrounds, but even the new default makes me very happy.

Thanks guys, good work.

I agree, the default is very comfortable.

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO YOUR FANS!

Dear god, did the original pure white background destroy my face! This is SO much more pleasing!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love you all.

The Escapist's site designers have clearly compromised their artistic integrity, and thus the artistic integrity of all site designs, by buckling to fan demand for a less shitty site design.

The puppies gave me an aneurysm.

I approve of this message.

Did anyone else's background options reset to default after a bit once you changed them? Mine just did. Bug? Isolated incident? Alien conspiracy? Magic? Puppies?!

hard mode: use puppies on animation "more pls" for 1 month.

Hallelujah, my eyes can rest!

snow for me, i will shout curses at the stuff in winter but always kinda miss it in the summertime

This is great news!
More than I'd hoped for when complaining about the background a while ago.

Ta muchly.

Oh thank goodness, it's not eye burning white anymore.

 

[Evilsanta]

Finally! Now I don't have to put sunscreen when I log on to the Escapist.

Wooo!

"Bacon Ipsum" is a joke about "Lorem Ipsum", which is used in graphic design to see a mock up of the final design.

Lol, yeah I spotted that one. I found it more amusing then the actual backgrounds.

Neato! Thanks guys!

EDIT: Holy shit the puppies are seizure inducing! Tell me you have one of these planned for kitties?!

My... my brain... can't think. Can't see... can't puppy... PUPPIES!

 

[Loop Stricken]

Also? I approve of Bacon Ipsum wholeheartedly.

You know the background options would of been 20% cooler if you had a pony option preferable MLP: FiM.

I'm kidding! I was pefectly fine with the last background option but none the less I'm glad to see the original background.

I think that's a pretty sweet idea! I'ma go check it out and see what I come up with. I just thought the background was being changed to blue, and that was pretty cool in itself, but that I can customise the background? That's just awesome! (express)
