Poll: Vote for the COH Forums Reskin
To be honest though, I actually think this brings up the very good point that I would rather not have excessively large margins or conversely detail outside the margins that I won't see. In both samples only slightly more than half the width of the screen is actually being used to show the actual forum content. That seems to be a rather low percentage that overlooks the primary function of the forums.

(Please support the best webcomic about a cosmic universal realignment by impaired angelic interference resulting in identity crisis angst. Or I release the pigmy water thieves.)
I pick neither. Penny looks awful in both shots... Well, she looks awful in general.
Option 1 since it doesn't twist Penny like the future splash screen.

I voted on the one I prefer of the two (it's image #1), but to be honest, I find both overly large. The way the look on your screen, they'll end up badly cropped on my browser.
Blue
American Steele: 50 BS/Inv
Nightfall: 50 DDD
Sable Slayer: 50 DM/Rgn
Fortune's Shadow: 50 Dark/Psi
WinterStrike: 47 Ice/Dev
Quantum Well: 43 Inv/EM
Twilit Destiny: 43 MA/DA
Red
Shadowslip: 50 DDC
Final Rest: 50 MA/Rgn
Abyssal Frost: 50 Ice/Dark
Golden Ember: 50 SM/FA
Option 1
It is a clear representation of the two characters and even though they are facing off the page, their eyes engage the viewer thus holding the attention. Option 2 has both characters leaping away and off the page, almost to escape and not building confidence in the viewer to continue reading.
Just my observations.

*yeah, I quoted myself.
I agree with anyone that says Pen looks bad. Id rather keep the current background. Too much anime for a superhero game

I do not like either image and as such did not vote.

I really gotta say, my choice is "#3 - None of the above".

I vote for #3, neither. I really, really hate them both.
Forums are about the text. The messages. I've got a pretty big monitor, I like having the browser window nice and wide, and in the current layout, the text area grows with it. But in those, the space for messages is restricted to show the background image.
Even if there's two background images so the space between Yin and Shadowhunter grows, it's still going to force a much larger margin just so I can look at the same artwork every single day all the time never changing zero data using up all that space.
It's a lousy design and I'm really unhappy that you're foisting it upon us.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Whichever one it is, I will be using AdBlock to get rid of it for my own sanity.
I prefer option 1

Penny is saddened by the negativity surrounding these new posters of her being put up all over the city, but as the new leader of Longbow and the Vanguard, and mayor of Paragon City, her first priority will be to set up a facility to help adjust the behavior of these people to help them overcome their problems.

I voted 1, but I really wish there was a third option, "neither."
Does this mean you're getting rid of the villain skin? Cos I hate the blue, just sayin'.

I voted 1, just to get the marginally better one voted for, but the real answer is "ick. neither." Also, I use AdBlock and completely block it out anyway, so I only have a black background behind the forum, which loads one heck of a lot faster than the pictures.

Record my vote as a "please fix these so that the art appears at the top instead of hidden on the sides." As it stands, they'll both look like garbage on my computer.
