I am bad with sarcasm.
I've seen the proposed new look. Mostly as Ambitious Lemon describes it. Of course, he was kidding about the hamsters.
So wait, is Ambitious Lemon's post mostly real or not? I do not know who to believe.

you really believed that MacRumors was going to have a tiled animated hamster gif as the background?
And I didn't get it right away so I thought it was real.
The website re-design, is real.
In this dimension though?
Let's be clear: AmbitiousLemon was joking. Nothing that referred to a site re-design (i.e., her entire post) was true. It was all a joke. One hundred percent (100%).
Say, when you get a chance, can you publish the minimum hardware requirements for both Mac and PC for accessing MR after the update?
On a serious note, one reason MR is nice to browse and use is that it is quick and simple. Let's keep it that way in the future.

You'll need at least a 2.4Ghz C2D running Windows 7 or OS X 10.5.7 for the basic mode. For advanced features, such as replying and starting threads, you'll need a 3.0Ghz C2D.
I thought that was Spymac, while the requirements for MacRumors were lower almost as low as a spiral notebook and sharp number 2 pencil.
It can still be quick and simple with a new design. Sure, the current design is quick and simple but it doesn't mean it's the only one that's like that.
Mmmmn it'd be nice if the background were #555555 with text being #666666.
Mmmmn low contrasty goodness.

iPhone too.Say, when you get a chance, can you publish the minimum hardware requirements for both Mac and PC for accessing MR after the update?
True.
But as the design gets more complicated, with Flash for example, or avatars become bigger, more bandwidth is required.
For me, the content is what is important on MR.
Agree. Simple and plain is easier to read and navigate.
No problem. Probably the 4th gen version.iPhone too.
No bad. Still prefer MR.
I prefer black background with green text. Much easier on the eyes at night with no light on and a super bright PowerBook screen even with the brightness turned down to the minimum that the backlight is still on. This screen is not bright enough during the day but too bright at night.
Doesn't vBulletin allow options for different forum colours/themes available to a user?
Hacks are always around, but, with the volume of traffic here, I expect they are not advised.
Someone please make kabunaru a hack that's shaved, uses British English and utilizes a color palette that suits him.
If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page you'll find a dropdown menu on the left that lets you choose a theme. None with animated hamster goodness though
