  1. Let me just say no to all this. We appreciate your eclecticism, but if you want your opinion to be taken seriously when you make suggestions for the site, then you'll want to work on presenting your case with some coherence and semblance of underlying sanity. Even if English is not your first language, you clearly know it well enough to be aware that your writing comes off as being produced by someone under the influence of drugs. I have no problems with you treating YC as a sort of RPG playground for this persona, but I'm afraid you need to come back to visit the real world when you're offering suggestions that are intended to be discussed for the benefit of the entire membership. But thank you for the suggestion.

  2. Well, if you've got the bandwidth to load some acid-trip Gothic Secessionist eye-roaster of a page every time you navigate somewhere, be my guest. I personally would prefer not to be assaulted by something that looks like it was designed by the absinthe fairy trying to combine the influences of Klimt, Dali, Picasso and Canterbury Cathedral in pixel format. Joking aside, there are some very good reasons why YC has a simple and un-fantastic design. It follows the rules of good design and layout with uniform colours and clear fonts. Why do think maps aren't printed on paper that changes colour with invisible pink Gothic fonts? It's because they need to be easy to read at a glance and provide information clearly.

  3. I think this guy is legitimately crazy. There is so much wrong with that post that I don't know where to start. Like, why does he wrap the text with quotation marks? Why are there spaces after the quotation marks and parentheses? Why does he link the words "baroque", "magic", "fairy", "tale", and "harry" with dashes but discontinues it for "potter" and "candy?" Why does he spell "is" as "iz?" Why are select words like "random" and "display" capitalized? Why is "Baroque" inconsistently capitalized? This sentence does no make sense. It is grammatically wrong. The subject of the sentence, "large," is not followed by a predicate. There is instead a comma leading to the phrase "beauty of sight was very cruxial..." --here he incoherently inserts something in parentheses that might as well have been random pretentious text; in fact, I'm convinced that is exactly what it is-- "...to realize." And no, "cruxial" is not a word. And then we have "say BWV 999" and "which ix little wonder why composers today have a difficulty emulating the baroque times through musica." The former is completely impossible to link to any part of the sentence, rendering it devoid of actual meaning. The latter shows that he thinks, with this vomit pool of words, that he has adequately explained the reason composers have difficulty emulating Baroque music. I don't have the patience to go through the rest of his ramblings; it is like staring into the abyss. Also that is a terrible idea, what are you, ten?
