Will he be a Blue Goo'er, an Alabasta*d or something-something Brunel?
(sorry, I'm not hip on the rude name for Brunel users - perhaps Rivet-head?)
- Jimi X

A bit like his name Jimi, it'd spoil things somewhat if you knew...

Oh and I'm not up on the Brunel'd nickname thing myself.
'Brune-hell'? perhaps? LOL

I can't believe someone in the community didn't come up with something.
Hmm....

They may have.
I don't know. I haven't been as social this year as I once was.
Do poeple like the look of it? Or the format? Not sure myself. I'm just an old goo user from way back. Set in my ways.

There's nice features in all three skins - I flip between them depending on my mood (which I'm sure makes the database happy).

The only time I use that new....eerrrmmmm....skin is if I'm visiting "incognito".
That stuff looks too much like a Yahoo page for my liking!

I flit to Alab****d or Brunel when I feel like a 3-day change, but I still keep coming back to Goo
but, Brunehell - you might have coined a phrase there!

AAHHH....."Brunehell"......fitting, I think!
For the true, there is no skin but "Goo"!!!!

It's a reflection of the sight I think. I've always seen it as being a little more organic than other sites. Goo seems fitting. Not quite as 'corporate' looking as the other two, and it's easier on the eyes.
