Yeah I like that !! , it's a great skin and it is better than the last.
It's really class (carbon effect , the black window, the new logo and the prety beetle).
I say again it's very nice.
Thanks a lot for this skin.

- Stars for show online/offline ... blah

I think it'll be hard to forget previous site... Well, if you don't have the same opinion as I do, you can ignore me

Agree full heartedly actually. The top image however as Flash said is changeable. But the rest does need to be changed.

Actually SMC's original colors were darkgrey and lightgrey. We wanted to have those colors in this skin

Thanks, well we did like CGcars but actually this was a collaboration of ideas we gave our hired skinner. I can see the similarities however hehe. But no that was not our intention.

Hired skinner?

Does that mean you won't be taking donations if someone wanted to say... update these emots that have been built for light backgrounds, and now all have edge artifacts on them?

but anyway, my one critique over the new design, which hasn't (to my knowledge) been mentioned already is that there isn't enough difference between these two images:

OH yeah, one more thing... Our Auto-LogOut time is only 20 minutes? Although it would potentially bloat the number of people appearing to be logged in at once, I think perhaps 1 hour might be better.... So many times I get side-tracked and then glance back here, and all the posts I was going to read are now marked read, since I was logged out and back in again. Would happen much less often if an extra 40 minutes were added to that time. Just some more food for thought

Swell!
But the image will constantly change of course, on a weekly basis?...
