Just dragging up an old post.

@Zipo you are exactly right, it is/was an open discussion. Looking back on this is crazy

I hope I didn’t give the wrong impression. It is all discussion/review on an open forum. =]

There both 2 very nice themes. No need for things to get outa hand lol.

I think ‘All orange’ get’s my vote. It’s a really nice themes, with a lotta room for customizing

Maybe Brad could make some alternative colour schemes too, like orange and sky blue? Might be quite nice.

Thanks for the great designs.

Well of course it is your call. That goes without saying. However given the feedback, and you said it yourself, they are just not competitively weighted. Why prolong the inevitable?

Yes, good lesson learned. Unfortunately, that is how we learn many times.

If nothing else, nice discussion.

@Zipo: Umm…you want to stop the whole thing? I think I’ll just play this one out for the week.

It seems people think that it’s an uneven match because they’re different types of themes going up against each other, so lesson learned for future theme battles.

I suggest you take this comp off the board.

I thought that would have been a given.

Again, that is what I was eluding too. I guess I was dancing around the whole subject. LOL

I was also trying to possibly eject some kind of theory behind this comp. But I do like to dance…. xD!

@Keith: Thanks for the suggestion. I’m thinking that would be the best idea for any future theme battles.

Put the same style of theme against each other so it’s not like Gallery vs. Personal Blog, and then everyone votes for the gallery theme because it’s not something you see every day.

@Zipo, they voted for the green one, because its better and a hella load more time was put into it. that orange one took me 5 mins and i didnt care how it looked, because it was a free give away. if you search #antopsd on twitter, you can download the psd to.
