Is this necessary? I use Native, Industrial is too dark for me.
I like the nice greens of native, that's why I use it. Plus, the banner looks cool.

Native since it came out. I used to love Industrial but when I go back to it now it's just to dark :P.

I like industrial. I like the blues and blacks. I also like the slig and the snuzi. I've always liked the industrial side as well. I prefer the native main characters, but in the long run, I like all sides equally. So, I use industrial.

I think what theme you use has got nothing to do with whos side you surport its what colours go best for you.

I know, I just like to give people reasons why I alone picked a theme.
Each to their own, I always say.

I use Native, and it's the one I favour - so all the new stuff is mainly on Native

And this belongs over in OT.

Me uses Native, for the same exact reasons everyone else uses it, i.e., industrial is a bit too dark.

Well, I've had my setting to Native for a while, but decided I'd try Industrial for a while, and I kinda like the darkness...

I like the design of the Industrial theme, make no mistake, but the contrast between the text and the background is a tad too high, making it harder on the eyes.

It is a high contrast, but when I don't have my contacts in, it makes it easier to see. and my computer sucks so the more contrast, the better.

I use native only because I'm more used to it than industrial.

Industrial for me. Native just looks too newbie-ish and garish.

It just looks kind of young, new, inexperienced. The Industrial theme just looks more experienced, organized, and efficient to me. It's sort of like comparing the Tantive IV to an Executor Class Star Dreadnought.

Young, new, and inexperienced? Jesus, dude. It's an assortment of colors, not someone's personality.

Industrial. It makes me think of fuzzles being crushed underfoot, and I smile.

I use the Munch's Oddysee theme or "Classic Theme," because it reminds me of when I first joined here started coming here about 6 years ago and this was the default theme or close to it. I formally used the Industrial Theme a lot.

I use the Industrial theme. It's one I used when I first joined and I find it easier to read posts on it as well. Probably because the white text sticks out the most on this theme.

I ;like the classic Industrial the most, and use that. Native has some cool designs, but the colours and background/text are too similar and blur into one. I used to use the MO theme, but I tried Industrial and felt that was better for me. I might igve the other a test again though.

I use native because it's nice. I like the greens and the cool banner at the top. I might see what industrial is like. But not now.

I use industrial. It looks more organized and I like the colors and find it easier to read and think of replies. I used to love native because ELUM (yay!) was on it, but after playing AE and seeing the DEAD ELUMS (Boo Hoo!), I switched to industrial.

AE? By any chance, do you mean MO?
