| Sep 10, 2014 at 5:39 | comment | added | ADTC | Will there be a site redesign contest any time soon? Even the Arqade design is better, and it's retro-gaming style because it's all about gaming - an awesome fit. But programming = whiteboard with illegible ALL CAPS handwritten font? Gimme a break. | |
| Nov 23, 2012 at 21:52 | comment | added | haylem | @YannisRizos: But I see your point and I agree that when it came to the P.SE font, the first time I read the meta post mentioning it I thought "but... why?!", considering it doesn't really relate to our culture that much. However, a design with consolas or courier new or something would have pissed me off even more I think, being too geeky. I kinda like the whiteboard / sketchy / prototype-like look and feel though. The problem, in my opinion, is that, like the site's name, it doesn't really fit to the direction we try to give it. But that's already way too debated in other places. | |
| Nov 23, 2012 at 21:51 | comment | added | haylem | @YannisRizos: I don't mind in-jokes too much, as I think our field and its culture (call it computer culture, hackerdom or whatever you feel an attachment to as an IT professional or programmer) is filled with wonderful anecdotes and insider jokes with not often much relevance but just historical fun. | |
| Nov 23, 2012 at 14:56 | comment | added | yannis Mod | @haylem I know what the relevance is, and the font looks like Comic Sans to me (honestly). That said, it's not a big thing and it certainly doesn't stop serious contributors from participating (you're here, I'm here, and so are quite a few other people). I just don't like explaining it to people, it's a quirky in-joke that doesn't really make much sense. | |
| Nov 20, 2012 at 17:21 | comment | added | haylem | I think the only relevance of the font was that the show's character writes a lot on a whiteboard, and we originally mainly focused on whiteboard-type questions. It's not like we're using Comic Sans MS. | |
