Over the past couple of days, leggy and I have come to a decision: in general, layouts suck.

So what are we gonna do about it? For the rest of July, leggy and I aren't going to use a layout at all. At all. It might seem bold to some, but in reality, its the only sane thing to do. Why?

Most layouts have at least one of the following:

  • A really, really bright background that clashes with everything else
  • A small background that doesn't loop
  • It stretches the page
  • The font is hard to read/unreadable
  • There's a big ass picture of something that has nothing to do with the layout at all
The purpose of this movement is to show that there is more to posts then just layouts. When people look at your post, they shouldn't think "Ooh! Look at that good layout! (or rather, look at that BAD layout!)", they should think, "Wow! What a good quality post!". That's what we're trying to achieve. How can you join?

Simply remove your layout.

I'm in.

I think my layout is quite good but even it has flaws. The text box that displays is quite small and any large post or post with pictures needs to have the layout removed in order to be read properly.

I've felt this way about layouts for a long time. I'd prefer no layouts across the board and generally have used the option of not loading them at all on Vizzed.

I personally came to Casu with the idea, because I agree with him, believe it or not.

Why am I doing this though? What will it accomplish?

I'm doing this, because I think in a roundabout way, it will get people's attention, and they'll realize you don't need a flashy layout to have a good post.

I invite anyone to join.

All you have to do is delete your layout.

It's really that simple.

Be part of the posting revolution.

I'm kinda of meh with layouts.


Lay outs help describe who you are, or at least, that's what they should.


I don't think they need to be removed, just changed really.

Fool, you forgot about me! 

Ah well. I support this posting revolution. Yea! Yea! 

I've already removed my layout and stored the code on a notepad file. Now... We have 22 days to show our pride of quality posts. Let's make the most of those days. 

Yeah, the Snowspammer is now making a effort to make quality posts. Heh.

Snowdeath :

You weren't the one who came up with the idea =P That's why you weren't mentioned.

geeogree :

Nice to have you on board.

Vincent Swiftstrike :

And that's what we are trying to accomplish in a way. No layout is better than a layout that doesn't work. This here? It's a layout. It's plain, and boring, but it works, and everyone can read it without issue.

Delete your signature and it's a deal

Just save everything on a notepad to retrieve it at the end of the month.

I know.. I was just laying claim to the "It was my "idea" before you guys brought it up"

I've had layouts turned off for a long time. I find them tedious. So, this doesn't really change much for me personally. It'll look strange for a lot of other people though.

Oh also, you can decorate your sidebar. 

<----- Over there. You can add .GIFs, decorate and code your title, add in a good display picture, etc.

Woah what happened to your whole perma ban situation?

Moving on I agree lay outs mostly suck. Which is why I flat have them off. I rarely turn it back on because it slows everything down and also most layouts are noob tastic. So yes I am in.

I don't post very often, but when I do, I can guarantee all you'll see is my post. No layout for the rest of the month.

I think he means he does what I do.

You can change a setting so you don't see anyone's layout... but can still have one set up for others to see.
