Please vote for the old (current) [[Main_Page]], or for my [[User:Iritscen/MainPageProposal|proposal]], or for geyser's [[User:Geyser/Main|proposal]]. I guess it will save time to just say '''OP''' for the original (current) page, '''IP''' for Iritscen's Page, or '''GP''' for Geyser's Page. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 18:44, 4 February 2008 (CET)

'''IP'''. I do appreciate geyser's new page, but I think the formatting is not really proper wiki-style. True, it's our wiki and it can look however we want it to. I just prefer a vertical layout to a horizontal layout. Also, the comments on each item in GP are a bit untidy and make it look cluttered because they broaden the overall table. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 18:44, 4 February 2008 (CET)
