STOP CENSORSHIP

Site theme change

UPDATE: It has been reverted.
Thanks for the feedback!


I've temporarily changed the theme of the site to gather opinions about it.

It's not permanent; the site will return to its old azure self in a week.



Also, Neko's in the random header.  She's still not done unfortunately, all the attempts at rigging her so far have been bad.

ATTENTION/FYI: New players

Setting a "Handicap" will make you WEAKER.

If you find online play frustrating, check and see that you have turned off Handicap.

The purpose of this setting is for personal challenges, and players that are aware that they're too good in certain servers. It will not make you stronger!

Thank you!

p.s. Generations Arena really needs the Hovertank, Dangerous Dave and the Catacomb guy
