Should we replace the Space Skin with a Non Habbo Light Skin

Hey everyone!

Many users have been asking for a non-Habbo light skin recently. However we simply have way too many skins, as it is there are about 12 different colors that don't show up on one skin or another and also having too many skins makes it hard on the backend side, and additionally it makes it look like we just put up a hundred skins. With every new skin each skin is less special, and each new skin means less.

So what we have decided is that while we will not be adding skins, if demand is significant we will remodel, renovate, or replace skins. A lot of people have been asking for a non-Habbo light skin. The most sensible skin to remove seems to be the Space Skin (since it is least used) or the retro blue skin which is not that widely used.

However we don't want to assume when we replace a skin entirely, so we want your feedback! Should we add a Non-Habbo Light skin at all? If so, what should it replace? Cast your vote, and post your comment if you like!

Cant we just add another skin or is there too many skins and the forum can only hold so much.
I dont really use anything outside of the classic skin though I'd like to see what it would look like so I am all for it replacing the space skin which I've never seen anyone use.

Why does it have to replace one? :|

alot of users don't user habboxforum for habbo so they want a non-habbo skin, but theres only that dark grimey one, good idea but replace a different one (or dont replace on at all just add)

Oh please don't get rid of Space Skin it's the only one I like and use

Why does it have to replace a old skin :( can't it just be added?

aww i use space skin :( meanies

The space skin is the only one with a decent forum section thing, it could do with a better background but it has the nicest looking main bit, I donno what it's called xD

Can't we choose replace halloween :p

Interesting votes.

Remove the pink skin.

Why must you replace any skin, why not just add a new one? Or replace the pink one, surly it cannot be very popular:P.

Noooo don't take away the Retro Blue :(. I hate most of the others because it makes viewing Habbo related images awful.

Replace the retro blue skin :/ Having two light blue skins would be silly, especially when it seems the space skin is leading the way to being changed.

Failing that, why not just make a new skin, and not a replacement? :P

I use the non habbo dark skin on comp
and retro blue skin on laptop :D

Thank you finally! I have been waiting for a non-habbo light skin for ages! :D

I'm sure an extra skin is not gonna hurt the forum?

I don't really care, but if I have to, remove the site skin.

I highly doubt the Site Skin would be removed as it is fairly new and fairly popular. Also theres always been a site skin for ages, to my knowledge.

The light-non-habbo skin but not necessarily be blue anyway ;) We already currently have two blue skins and the retro-blue skin is a favourite by many.

Yes, make a non-habbo light skin, but replace it with a different skin, maybe Space.

I voted to replace space. :D

I think the space skin should be either replaced by the non-habbo light skin, or at least renovated?

Hopefully this non-habbo light skin will be nice colours :)

The Space Skin is really hard to maintain backend wise, as the templates are edited meaning that updates can sometimes be ignored on it (I know I kept forgetting to update templates on it cause it ran a different set to the rest of the forum).

Plus I remember the Retro Blue Skin being popular, that's why we added the new Blue Skin alongside it. So I say Space Skin. Sorry Slowpoke...

Remove the blue skin (not retro!)
Or the pink skin.

Removing the retro blue is illy, and we only have 9 skins not 12..

Not the retro blue! Its the only one I like.

I voted to remove the Space Skin as I don't particularly like it and as stated, not that widely used.

I wouldnt vote this poll

Maybe change the default theme to the site skin, and get rid of the classic one?

Because I think the default one should match the site, not be totally hideously blue and orange.

Classic one is amaze, never get rid of it. Tyvm.

But, the space skin is rubbish so replace that (:

NO! Classic is the most used theme ever :'(

Definately keep it but I do think the default could be the lush site one :8

I really dislike the site skin one :P It's far too grey and looks unfinished. The bit which says "Today 10:30" for example should be a pale orange to match the bit that says "Thread tools" etc. All the posts seem to be merged together, rather than seperated, which is why the grey just doesn't seem to work for me. The content of the posts doesn't even look right, it merges too much with the users name, rank, rep power, posts etc.

When is the christmas skin coming out? I want to get ready for the festive season :B

Don't replace space skin, replace that god awful new blue skin. What disgusting colours, it looks way too bland.

Not really? Lots of management/old members use it and they most definately know how to switch skins but just prefer it.

Not sure yet but it isn't even December yet!!! :P We are looking into refurbeshing the blue one too make it more better. It should be staying as one of the modern skins though

ive been begging for non habbo skin for like 18months.

The space skin may not be that popular but it does have some loyal users. Myself, Professor-Alex and Yonder454 are avid users, I just thinks its a shame to remove a skin - Especially after it's been around for so long. Maybe it's not as popular but I'm sure you lot would hate it if you're favourite skin was removed. I don't agree with removing skins, not old ones anyway and I really don't want this one to be removed.

There is no reason to get rid of the classic skin if you dont like it don't use it, but please don't suggest an unnecessary change for those of us who do like it! I also think most members know how to change skins, it's not rocket science.

I don't have an opinion on any of the other skins, which is why I abstained, so please leave the classic skin as it is :)

That's the problem, the site skin is basic while the forum skin isn't. I've designed forum skins before, and know that site and forum skins should be similar, but not based on exactly the same look. The site skin doesn't have additional sections like time, date, profiles etc. Keeping it grey really does look unfinished... Surely a very pale orange, which isn't the same tone as the main images would be better? The grey looks gastly!

The thread page view definitely needs something to divide each little bit into sections. Maybe changing the pale grey/white to a darker colour would work? I guess whoever designs the skins has got bad colours to work with.

The same could be said for any skin. Whether one member uses it or one thousand, they should be left as they are because they may not like any other skin (I know I don't). It may seem like a small, insignificant thing but I myself wouldn't enjoy this forum as much if I had to look at a skin that I didn't find the least bit aesthetically pleasing - It's not fair. :(

The space skin is also the most functional because, as far as I know, it is the only skin where the background changes colour for posts that need to be approved. I know what I say won't make a blind bit of difference but that's a point to consider.

I agree about setting site skin to default as it is supposed to represent the site.
But definately don't remove classic. As it's classic, Loads of people use it because they are used to it and prefer it :).

It'd be nice to see the turnout of this:)

Yes and I am sypathetic, but suggesting the removal of the classic skin, it just wouldn't be Habbox anymore. The only thing that might be worth considering, and a fairer way, is which skin is used the least, and then seeing who objects to it being removed, that's only if one definetely has to go.
