Looks like more people prefer the standard black than anything else. And white ended up being the 2nd top color

This week's poll was also suggested by pachique. It's like last week's but now it's hair color instead of eye color.

Now I wonder if purple/violet hair will win this week's poll

An official dark mode is now available! On mobile, you access the option via the hamburger menu button. On desktop, it's at the bottom of the left sidebar. Don't be scared too much by the banner.

The modernization of our code last month finally enabled us to do some changes we've been wanting to do. We eventually want to reskin the entire site, but that's low in priority right now. We will try and allow an option to keep the current look and feel of the site.

This week's poll was suggested by our member pachique. What eye color do you like or think is cool on a protagonist?

Question: Opinion on artists using AI?

• Acceptable if used as inspiration or reference (25%) - votes: 1241 (44%)
• Any AI art is unacceptable (0%) - votes: 893 (31.7%)

There were 2820 total votes. The poll ended: November 23rd, 2024 11:06am PST

Looks like AI art is generally frowned upon

This week's poll was suggested by Afiaki. How do you feel about AI generated art? Obviously there's a lot of potential nuance, but gotta boil it down to a short, easy poll.

Question: Which UI theme do you generally prefer?

Choices:

• Light mode - votes: 516 (18.4%)
• Dark mode - votes: 2287 (81.6%)

There were 2803 total votes. The poll ended: November 16th, 2024 8:38am PST

Well, good thing we're thinking about creating a dark mode

This poll was suggested by our member Afiaki. This question is very relevant because the site update we did 3 weeks ago modernizes our code and allows us to think about redoing the skin of the site and supporting an official dark mode.

I was surprised by how much discussion (anger?) there was in the comments about UTC vs. GMT and how I should've phrased the poll better

This week's poll was suggested by Afiaki. What time zone are you normally in? I just listed the most common offsets that are on the hour. If you're at a x:30 or x:45 offset, then you're in the "Other" category. If you can't be bothered to figure out what time zone you're in, we even got the "I don't know" option for you. If you're currently in daylight savings... too bad, figure it out.
