    Hello folks,

    It will probably come as no surprise to you that ZeroGain's audience is very skewed towards males. However, looking over the member and guest statistics for the last couple of years, we've found an alarming decrease in our proportion of female visitors.

    We've no desire to exclude females from the user base, so we've done a little research with some of our female users as to what may be keeping them away. One of the main issues that arose was the styling of the site, and to correct this oversight, we've tweaked the design slightly to widen our appeal to a greater demographic. We'll continue to serve our existing audience, but we'll be working to find a balance that will work for everyone.

    Any thoughts or comments are much appreciated.

    Cheers!

    Mark

    Edit:
    In case you've arrived to the thread late, the change to our colour scheme was indeed an april fool's joke, as seen below:

    "We've no desire to exclude females from the user base,"

    call them women then.

    Ever heard of "skins"?

    April Fools is tomorrow :)

    Pink, by Aerosmith

    Pink it's my new obsession
    Pink it's not even a question
    Pink on the lips of your lover, 'cause
    Pink is the love you discover
    Pink as the bing on your cherry
    Pink 'cause you are so very
    Pink it's the color of passion
    `Cause today it just goes with the fashion
    Pink it was love at first sight, yea
    Pink when I turn out the light, and
    Pink gets me high as a kite
    And I think everything is going to be all right
    No matter what we do tonight
    You could be my flamingo
    'Coz pink is the new kinda lingo
    Pink like a deco umbrella
    It's kink - but you don't ever tell her
    Pink it was love at first sight
    Pink when I turn out the light
    Pink gets me high as a kite
    And I think everything is going to be all right
    No matter what we do tonight
    I want to be your lover
    I wanna wrap you in rubber
    As pink as the sheets that we lay on
    Pink is my favorite crayon, yeah
    Pink it was love at first sight
    Pink when I turn out the light
    Pink it's like red but not quite
    And I think everything is going to be all right
    No matter what we do tonight
