I used the white Giantbomb a whole bunch back before the redesign. Why hasn't it returned?

They canceled it because too many people were creating threads about it.

I think the staff already covered this a few times. They said the site is due for a redesign and I think its going back to white along with the charts.

I hope we can still have the option to keep the site black after the redesign.  White is too blinding on my screen after looking at it for a while.

Why is everything about color, man? It's the new millennium, and we should be able to see past these color barriers.

Maybe they are just waiting for the next re-design to use the white skin.

They said that last time. They redesign the site faster than they can throw an alt skin together.

There should be more color now, since we the world is more connected.
 
One of the most off-putting things in games today is the fact that most games seem to come out in black and white (with some red).

Different color schemes for different forum sections would be sweet (ala Halo 3: ODST forums).

You racist. Ahem. But like Andorkski said, white is a little in-your-face. I want to keep the black/grey skin.

I think it's Chrome. Mine did that a while back and went back to normal within 20 minutes.

@BODDAH It went away once returned to the Giant Bomb home page.  So it may be Chrome or some sort of glitch on Giant Bomb itself.

Never understood the appeal to using this site with the white skin, it blinded my eyes, the black skin is just so much easier on the eyes. :)

I like the darker website, for starters it's easier on the eyes.

Oh my, that made me laugh something fierce. 
 
I'm working on another design refresh. White will return then. Mostly it's just the need for us to switch from the flash unit on the front page.

I didn't know there were so many others who preferred the white color scheme.  We should combine our numbers!

We could be called "The Giantbomb White Supremacists".

Waaaaaiit...

I'm wondering why so many people have a preference for black. I don't much care, but white background with black text has been tested to create less occular fatigue.

It's different for a lot of people.
Personally, reading light text on a dark background is a serious strain on my eyes, I can't even read long blog posts on here, without copying and pasting all the text into notepad.
And switching to a light website after being on here for a period of time is blinding.
 
Also, as a design student, I'd say dark text on a light background just looks much nicer too.

I don't know, but I really don't care. I prefer black. It's just easier to see when the background is back, and it fits the site very well.

I'd use this site for more than QL's and the Bombcast if the white version came back. Reading white on black seriously bothers my eyes.
