Subject: Why can't we change our text color?

Does anybody else remember when you could change the color of the text in your post? Why did Bungie remove this. I don't see the harm it could cause. It could help emphasize text and be pretty neat.

Does anybody else think they should add it back?

Maybe you're the one that can't remember? It used to look like someone threw up Fruity Pebbles all over my screen.

Have you seen my mind anywhere? I seem to have lost it...

I have seen you future

Bungie decided that they want their site to look neat and professional. After trying coup for a little while I tend to agree with them.

Meh. Maybe.

It'd be cool to have if people could use it subtly.. but they wouldn't.

Maybe they should limit it to professional colors?

I actually wasn't here to see the magic that is colored text spam, but I can't imagine it being very easy on the eyes. I think the only text that needs to stand out in a forum is that of a Mod or Bungie Employee, and we have that. If you need to emphasize something, use bold, italics or underlining.

Coup makes things look a lot neater then the old puke on your screen colors.

Maybe you should keep using that and deal with people making your screen hideous without imposing that ugly on everyone else.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

Geegs said what I was going to say, just... better. On top of that I like the simple, clean feel the forums have without colored text, image embedding, etc.

Couldn't agree more. Well that and I really got sick of all the brony and furry coups. Too many people to block.

I'm thinking just red, light blue, beige and some others...

It's a bit hard to imagine so this may end up looking funky.

Also, they could add a feature to turn off seeing colors?

The only thing colored text would be useful for would probably be a negative command. like Do not touch this button. Other than that, I don't want to read a rainbow colored post.
