Pardon the language, but they make the board look really really faggish.
-
How about Jars of blue potion?
-
We already use those for the male gender icon, I actually think the heart containers are a bit of a good idea, but perhaps we could have something else if you would give us a suggestion rather than asking for us to find one?
-
Actually, I agree...
Usually, when my parents are wandering around my room, I change tabs to another site so they don't wonder why the hell is their son on a site full of hearts... >_>
-
Get the hell over it. :P Do you change channels over to another video game when your parents come by because you don't want them to see you playing a video game full of hearts? This is a Zelda forum, with Zelda-related things, and I think they look awesome. If you're too freaked out about people thinking you're gay, then just leave. :P
-
The only thing that I could think of that would be a good replacement would be a green rupee or kinstone, but the hearts work fine I think.
-
The chest system in the Dark Blue theme worked well, though I don't really mind the new system. Chests were closed and bright if there were new posts, closed but dark if there were new posts in a child board, and open if there were no new posts.
-
The hearts aren't really that unmanly. Does it matter anyway, the site isn't full of hearts. If you're parents had a right mind they'd run over and say OMG ZELDA CAN I PLAY WITH U!? Maybe thats just my parents too (lets hope one of them doesn't decide to reply to me with 'yay totallu!'.
Grow some balls, and stop whining about petty things. :p The hearts look pretty damn cool anyway.
-
A bit off topic but this has been bothering: Ever think of dividing the hearts up into the amount of child boards. For example: a board has three child boards, when you go into one, a quarter of the heart is gone, going into two board makes half the heart gone, etc, etc. For three boards (2 child, 1 main.), you divide the heart into three.

R.I.P Dark Blue theme. :'(
I like 4Sword's kinstone idea.
-
There will be another darkblue theme, don't worry. (I say this, because I hate green).
-
I love you Vash. :)
Make it as close to the old one as possible. XD I really miss that one. I'm more partial to dark themes than light ones.
-
I like the heart containers, they look rugged and manly. =P
-
You're right! Hearts are too girly!
Instead, we should have pictures of unicorns and rainbows!
-
I honestly don't care. I like the hearts. It fits it most. It is how much people love you also known as a warning system.
-
He means the heart pieces on the main page.
-
I like the heart containers, they look rugged and manly. =P
Thats what I was going for, they don't look like hearts.. they look like heart containers.! and they... have a rugged look. :P
-
Oh ok. No those are fine. I think they look good. Altho the treasure chest's did look good.
-
I personally like the Treasure Chests, like if you have already opened and checked this chest. But no need to change the hearts.
-
I'm a fan of treasure chests, but i do not like the heart containers that much.
-
I actually looked into using a few other types of graphics, but none of them really fitted the theme / were the right size so I ended up with these ones. Personally speaking I think they look fine - Well they could do with some antialiasing, but thats easily sorted out.
-
Gourry, of all the people I would least expect to hear that from you. You are actually concerned that they are too girly or "faggish"? What happened to you having an open mind about things you know? Sporting womens jeans, goin' with the flow, "whatever" mentality?
Honestly I can't believe anybody that goes to this forum would !@#$% about this. This is a zelda fan forum. As if it isn't !@#$% enough that we all spend our time here. You're actually going to complain that the hearts are a problem, or it hurts your "manly" facade? You go to a zelda forum and discuss which bosses are harder, or how to get the triforce, or nude midna pictures. Get real you guys lol.
The hearts work great. They are very zelda themed. One of the most recognized zelda images besides the triforce. I don't think anybody that comes here is going to think anything other then "heart containers form zelda" when they see the forum index. And you can't honestly be so ashamed of the hearts that you would hide the page form your parents sight. What about the forum in general? You guys think people are going to judge you for going to a forum that has hearts on it? Or do you judge yourself for it? Time to get a little more comfortable with your sexuality me thinks.
Chests are old. We had them for way too long, it's nice having a change. It's like a breath of fresh air. Just accept it. There are way bigger issues in life.
-
i hate the the heats the are too big i think we shold put link instead 8) or a triforce piece
-
Devy, how would you take parts of Link away...0.o
-
mak his head appear
so each forum has a head of link with green tunic and the blue heme with blue tunic and so on and so forth XD
i like cutting up peoples :o :P
-
Devy, how would you take parts of Link away...0.o
Easy...
(http://www.sdnl.nl/images/guillotine.gif)
(evil laugh) >_> <_<
Anyways, I don't really like having Link in the hearts position...
The hearts are okay in their place...

I agree with you that people shouldn't care about the hearts or should get over it, but seriously STFU. Don't be so judgmental, and don't base your thoughts on others on stereotypes. You can't get all preachy then be a DICK yourself.
-
fine piece of triforce
-
I don't think having the hearts is that big of a deal. However, I do like the idea of chests, even if a editing/sizing is in order.
-
fine piece of triforce
Good idea!
Full Heart - Full 3 piece triforce
Half Heart - 2 piece of triforce
Empty Heart - 1 piece of triforce
-
thanks
-
I think hearts are the best indicator we've ever had.

What makes you think I am? Those are all things Ive seen discussed here. Weather its a stereotype or not. That is why I used them. I am being a DICK? Possibly, I tend to do that sometimes when honestly expressing my opinion on something, as do a lot of people, because when people don't see eye to eye with you, they generally think your being an ass. I don't really see it, other then the fact that you don't like my opinion on what I see being said here. But thats not something I am deliberately doing. And I don't know what is so "preachy" about expressing my thoughts Limey. I don't recall being so rash as to call people names or tell them to shut up for expressing these opinions about the hearts that I completely disagreed with. :-\
I feel its stupid to make a big deal out of the fact that we have heart containers on the forum index which is embarrassing to some, when this forum that we go to is full of a lot worse things then some silly hearts. It's a Zelda forum, those are a part of Zelda, if Zelda related stuff embarrasses you so much then why even come here. Those are my feelings, obviously you don't share the same feeling, who cares though right? We each have our own. Don't make a big deal out of it. Sorry for whatever might have offended you Limey.

Full Heart - Full 3 piece triforce

I see no reason whatsoever to change the god damn hearts. Triforce's would be too complicated. Not meaning to single you out Modrill, this goes to all.
Hearts are simple and easiest to understand. They fit the layout. Nothing should be changed.
/rant
EDIT: And honestly, who actually changes their screen when parents come in? It's ZFGC, come on guys. Stop caring what other people think. Hearts aren't even faggish, at all. It was on the old ZFGC in past versions.

Gourry, of all the people I would least expect to hear that from you. You are actually concerned that they are too girly or "faggish"? What happened to you having an open mind about things you know? Sporting womens jeans, goin' with the flow, "whatever" mentality?
I still wear girls jeans and I still think the hearts look gay. That should tell you something about the hearts.
I'm not saying I have a huge problem with it. If they don't change, oh well. But people are going to open the forum and go "Holy hell that looks gay. I am not registering here." And that's the truth. People will be turned away because stuff looks too girlish because then it makes it seem as if the forum is juvenile and kiddy.
I'm the one thinking logically here. Don't try to argue; I'm Gourry, you automatically lose.
You're the one making a big deal out of it. I posted 1 sentance and you post a page long rant. Learn to use fewer words or shut up. That's why you sound so preachy.
Edit: At the very least, the amount of empty green space around the hearts needs to be cut down to they don't physically draw attention away from the places you want the people to be looking at anyway. Same with the icons next to the threads, the amount of space the icons are given makes them stand out way too much.

Not being nit picky but no. That just tells me that you have a strange obscurity towards hearts gourry. Or does it somehow mean that hearts are for a fact gay.

Actually if you tallied the replies to this topic you would see that a vast majority of the people like the hearts, followed by some who are neutral and don't mind them or don't really see a need for a change, and then lastly the ones who disapprove of them. They are a major Zelda icon. Anybody that comes to this forum probably knows a thing or two about the Zelda franchise. How could they think anything other then "heart containers from MC" upon viewing the forum index? And even for the small number of people who would have a slight issue with them, or thought they looked gay or girly. I doubt that would cause somebody not to register. It's not like its just a random heart. It's a big part of Zelda games and I think anybody who has any wits would understand it and look past it. Has anyone left because of these indicators yet? No.
As for making the forum feel juvenile or kiddy. I would say its posts like these ones that make it appear that way. Anybody mature as you should be able to come to terms with Zelda heart containers indicating post activity on a Zelda fan forum. Zelda games are rather kiddy to begin with, they have hearts, and princesses and so on. But who cares we all enjoy them, and people who don't, don't even come to these forums.
I'm the one thinking logically here. Don't try to argue; I'm Gourry, you automatically lose.
I'll give you this one. No sense arguing over it. That would be just stupid.
You're the one making a big deal out of it. I posted 1 sentance and you post a page long rant. Learn to use fewer words or shut up. That's why you sound so preachy.
A page long "rant"? Only the first tiny paragraph was directed straight towards you. The rest towards all the people opposing, or about to oppose the hearts in the topic.
If you have a problem with how many words I use to get my point or opinion across in a post then ignore it. I make the choice how in depth to go in my post. You make the choice to read it. If using too many words makes me sound preachy then I couldn't care any less. Now I think you are just being immature because I called you out on something I felt.
The reason I even questioned you in the first place was because exactly what I said. I found it slightly obscene you would make an issue out of this, when you've always been such a free spirit who doesn't care what others think of him, and least of all what is too girly and so on. More or less that was just a question to you. Not a freaking personal attack, so get over it.
-
Oh come on guys, don't turn this into a debate.
I guess I don't have room to talk though. :(

I know, you're right. You know how it is though, when you just have to respond about something or it will !@#$% you off... I'd be more then happy to resolve these things in PM if anybody else feels as if Ive said something wrong.
-
True enough, thats why I get in !@#$% so easily. >_>
But really, the hearts don't need to change. Sure, they look a bit girlish and nerdy. But hell, this is a ZELDA forum. Isn't that nerdy in the first place? Anyway, there'll be other themes in the future, and they'll likely use different icons.
-
I just think it's funny he see's the need to read into my calling them gay, and then tries to call me out on being a free spirit and all that jazz.
A simple "Nah kid, they're fine" is about the same as what he said. Instead he felt the need to call my character in to question. Preachy little mother... :3.
I never said they needed to change, i just said I think they need to change. I'm allowed to have opinions skully.
Also this is why you sound preachy:

cut out unneeded words:
Tally the replies in this topic; most people aren't bothered by the hearts, and there's few who dislike them. It's not just a random heart; they are a major Zelda icon. Viewers, even the few people who dislike them, most likely think "heart containers" when viewing the page. It's a big part of Zelda games and I think anyone who has wits about them would understand and look past it. No one has left over it, and I doubt that somebody would choose not to register because of it.
70 less words and far less crap to weed through. Everything is concise.
I CUT YOUR POST IN HALF! :O
-
Gourry Ive never said you couldn't have an opinion. I always go on about how we all have our own opinions. Why do you think I am trying to question your character or attack you in some way? Ive always respected you and thought you were a cool guy. I still do, I don't have anything against you I just wanted to know something. One simple thing I said to you, and you take it like I just insulted your mother. Seriously wtf man. I never asked why you think I sound preachy either. I said I couldn't care less if making a long post makes you feel that way. Maybe I don't feel like just randomly going to different topics and saying things the same as everyone else does like "nah kid they're fine" I only post in topics wen I got something to say, and then I wanna say it right. Do you honestly sit and think about how many words you are using when you are trying to get a point across? Do you ponder if anyone else can make that post in less words more effectively?
Really, I don't even want to argue about this anymore. I already said everything. Apparently I even said more then enough. What is the big issue with how big my posts are man? Even though I agree with you it's probably better the way you wrote it out. What does that have to do with anything we've been discussing? So I ramble on a bit and don't need to use so many words to say the same thing. What are you trying to get at? Also I haven't made any personal attacks on anybody, or flamed, or been too rash. This all started because I posted my thoughts on the heart system. I'm the bad guy here? I am going off on you? No matter how pissed off Ive been yet Ive tried not to be a DICK about it. Stop jumping all over my back about stupid stuff like the length of my posts or what you think I meant with something I said. Ive already explained it. If you wanna keep going send me PM's or on my msn or email or something so this topic doesn't get locked because of us. We are just being stupid over a small issue.

You called my character into question by saying:
Gourry, of all the people I would least expect to hear that from you. You are actually concerned that they are too girly or "faggish"? What happened to you having an open mind about things you know? Sporting womens jeans, goin' with the flow, "whatever" mentality?
And yes, i do consider how many words are in my post, because posts like the previous one have too many words and i never finish reading them. It looks like a big mess of jumbled words. Also, try using the enter button more often.
But anyway, i still think we should use something other than the hearts.

FA2002zorz: ahaha
FA2002zorz: okay those are some pretty gay hearts
But again, not a big deal either way. By the way, this is the FORUM FEEDBACK forum, so i'm giving FEEDBACK. :O
-
Get the hell over it. :P Do you change channels over to another video game when your parents come by because you don't want them to see you playing a video game full of hearts? This is a Zelda forum, with Zelda-related things, and I think they look awesome. If you're too freaked out about people thinking you're gay, then just leave. :P
yeah i totally agree. Who gives a !@#$% if it has hearts at least it's not all pink with like uhh girly stuff and !@#$%.

Hey uh, this post was from 6 months ago, and it was pretty much resolved. We're usually kinda lenient on gravedigging, but was that post really necessary?
