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 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.

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.

Good idea!

Full Heart - Full 3 piece triforce
Half Heart - 2 piece of triforce
Empty Heart - 1 piece of triforce

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.

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.

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'll give you this one. No sense arguing over it. That would be just stupid.

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.

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:

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
