I will restate again, we have colors we have used for a very long time. They are not what I would choose, personally, but they have worked:
It's possible that these colors are what nobody still here would specifically choose, but they could still be a reasonable compromise. If we are going to make a change, then we need a DEFINED PROCESS. If we need a change, why, what are the criteria, and how are they to be judged? This is a long established forum, the results of which are the results of the free contributions of hundreds of people. Given that, we cannot make such sweeping changes just because one editor wants to.
I will anticipate the response: these changes are forward-only changes and have no effect on the existing content. Ok, while there is truth to that, the argument is insufficient. The only reason this forum has any value, (the only reason people are reading it), is because of the established content. And it only continues because a community drives it forwards. Almost no one would be here if it wasn't for our foundation. We stand on the shoulders of giants.
So any posting of new default color schemes is completely inappropriate without first establishing a DEFINITION OF PROBLEM to be solved and a PROCESS for how changes are to be submitted and results are to be measured.
I object to the lack of process.
