SadBOARD Sucks!
Probably the most frequently expressed complaint about SadGeezer.Com is the white text on black background.
And, uh, well… white-on-black is simply a no-no for webpage design. Black text on white backgrounds is alot less strain on the eyes. This is what was taught to me in my web design classes. Printers and graphic designers figured out this concept a long time ago.
But in the case of science-fiction webpages, white-on-black is very, very, common. I think this has to do with outer-space themed websites. To quote Holly, the Red Dwarf’s computer, “The thing about space is that it’s black…”
I think it’s possible to design a science-fiction webpage that has predominantly black-on-white text with a strong purple and green colour scheme that is executed in a tasteful manner.
