Bo -
The idea that I was talking about earlier, for the Black Background, and you asked for details, I wasn't sure if you saw my answer or not, so I'll give you the details of what I was talking about:
Basically, my idea was to make the Background of the site just straight Black, and then, where you have the Names of threads and categories listed, which is currently like, Red with some text, you could make that Orange and Green.
Currently there is a theme which is neat, but at the same time, the whole forum here, is mostly centered. So when you look at this site, you see everything in a centered manner like the threads for example, all show up in the middle of the site. It blocks the images quite a bit, and I think that's because it's damn near impossible to line up images and content in a way that neither treads on either, and I know how that is because I've been building websites and things for a long time, so it's REALLY hard to sort of make them both look right.
I think if you basically took the background you have right now, and made it just Black, and then had the "Titles" where it says "Talk Horror" in white, and "Horror Talk for All Horror Fans" in Red, that could be made into a Vibrant Neon Green color, and then the one after it, a nice Orange color.
I personally think that Black with Orange and Green go well together, but that's an opinion, so I'm not sure if you'd like it or not, but it would look nice I think.
I'll make a quickie image that just shows the colors, and that way you can kind of get an idea of what I mean. If you'd like, I can also track down images for "Night of the Living Dead" for you as well, and I was saying to you already how that movie is Public Domain, so you can use all the images you like without any legal issues, and using the Black And White Original, it would go along with the overall Black / Orange / Green color Theme without drawing any attention away from anything.
Basically you could have the images, and they wouldn't take away from the color, and the color wouldn't tread on the images either
