Forum:New Footers Part Deux

Ok, so I've attempted this reform in the past, but for some reason it fell through. Probably me disappearing for one of my sporadic bursts of busyness.

There was a pretty good level of support, apart from the occasional niggle, with the exception of Lancer, whose criticisms I almost can't believe.

The current footers are a disgusting mish-mash of ugly designs. Almost no two footers are even remotely similar. Lancer railed against 'standardisation', thinking the current ones broke up "nicely". I could not disagree more. There's 'unique'/'individual' and there's a hap-hazard mess. What we currently have is the latter. There isn't even any method to the madness, they are just different for the sake of being different. They look messy, unprofessional and lazy. I believe these new Footers I've created, at the very least, create a sense of at least some effort being put into them. I think they are neat, clean, simple and professional.

Now, Lancer and I have never seen eye to eye on issues of design, and probably never will, so I don't expect much support on that front. However I think this wiki is really lacking in the design area, even more-so since the skin change (entirely due to our lack of adaptation, rather than the skin itself, which gives us an opportunity to make a beautiful wiki). I think this is one step in improving this area.
