I Agree. The Skin is Fantastic, I think its gonna make me come ALOT more.

I love the new skin, and the smilies are totally insane! :ohnoes: I love how the mascot is running now, it really looks good.

Coolness! The new site is awesome. I love it.
And you're right, White Rhino, these smilies are sa-weet! :V

I really like the skin KK!

I Love the new skin! Amazing! Outstanding! Although I'm a bit discouraged about not getting a staff job, but, I don't mind! I'm just happy that everyone got the promotion they deserved and I love new new buttons and icons! The smilies are really cool and creative! there are more to choose from. I really like what you did to the site, and, well, its just really awesome a being a ZooManiac.

I otta say, this skin is better than the old (not saying the old one was bad). @the new staff: I hate you! LOL, kidding. I wish I were staff, but I just joined and I didn't think that was really fair. Congrats!! :aww: :D

The old skin hurt my eyes, it was too bright x.x

This one's easy on the eyes. o.o

Where'd you guys get it?

thank you XD

actually, I made the skin :] i make all the skins for ZooMania.

Glad you like the skin :grin:

and for those who like the emoticons,thank Animalover44 for that, he found them :D

Also Catc did the new forum descriptions.

I like it, but it will take some getting used to.

I like it. And I must say, the avatars are freaking awesome! A lot more animeish and a lot cuter. For this renewal I made a new signature and put up a new avatar :lawl:

Great new skin! I really love it. Great work guys! :D

This site is amazing!!!! Moreso than before!!! I love the skin, it's fantastic!!!

:V :S -_- :P :lawl: :>_<: :ohnoes: :O_o: :hmph: B) :=B :=3

Awesome Emoticons and skin!

WOW
I Lvoe the New skin!

Where did you learn to make them KK?

And the SMileyhs are To Cute!
B) :O_o: :ohnoes: :S :D :=B :shifty:
This one is my fav
:ohnoes:

I learned to make skins at the invisionfree skin zone =]
over there they can be extremly harsh, but you do learn alot XD
theres plently of tutorials on how to make invisonfree skins, but it takes practice to get the hang of it. :lawl:

It Gives the Site a Great New Feel and Has actually made my day a whole lot better. For some reason it has this nice feel to it!

The new skin looks amazing. I love the colour scheme, it's nice and bright but not overwhelming. Also, congrats to all the new staff.

Cool, Ill head on over there and try to get some info for my Site :D :=B

The previous green was very...Startling. This colour has a warm feeling to it.

My dad has a whole bunch of books about CSS, the code people use to make skins, such as these, without the text font, buttons, etc. Its really hard, but, now that I have PSCS3 and Dreamweaver CS3, I need to practice this kind of stuff. I'm just really amazed at the skill you people have! :O_o:

The skin reminds me of my coffee cup with dancing coffees on it :aww: I love the new skin, KK, you really outdid yourself this time!! And the new emotes are just awesome, great find animalover! And finally, congrats to all new staff, hopefully the new roles aren't too overwhelming hehe :>_<:
