But before the layout questions, some nostalgia.

1. What remnants of wotmania did you save? If you chose not to save anything, what was your thinking on the matter?
Nothing. Other people had already posted about how they had saved many important things like the Theory Board.

2. Did you stick around for the closing?
I was more active than usual there in the last few days.

3. How did you feel about the whole thing - and about the subsequent transition?
At first I thought it was really dumb. How could Wotmania end before WoT did? But I know how hard it can be to keep a good site going, and I know that it really has to be a labor of love. Once Mike decided he didn't want to keep doing it, it was really in everyone's best interest for him not to. And then RAFO came along, and all was well with the world.

4. Name changes are obvious, but are you intending to do anything differently in terms of site activity here? (Frequenting more boards, posting more thoughtfully [hahaha, I crack myself up]).
I plan to be more active here than I was at Wotmania. For instance, over there I hardly ever even looked at the community board.

5. Is there anything you miss about wotmania so far? Any RAFO-related change that really pleases you?
Not really

6. What's your pick for our collective identity? (Rafolites, Rafonauts...)
I voted for Rafostarians.

Now onto issues of layout.

7. What colors do you currently use?
the default green

8. What color palettes would you like to see?
blinking rainbow plaid that requires a seizure warning

9. What font do you use? (Did you know you can customize that? :P) What fonts would you like added?
the default one; (I did not!) hrm... Symbol and Wingdings

10. You prefer navigation bars that are:
Any of these would be fine.

A) On the left
ok

B) On the right, or
ok

C) Across the top
ok

11. Do you like the current set-up, where you have to click to see the options, or did you prefer the old wotmania version, where a mouse-over would cause the menus to drop down?
I preferred mouseovering, but the clicky way is fine too.

12. Do you like all of the icons? Would you like to see more graphics? If so, what kind?
yes, yes, and all kinds

13. Do you like the current logo? If not, what would you like to see?
sure

14. If you've given any general thought to the matter, please tell me your thoughts here. (Sketch something out in words, maybe?)
Sadly, I have not.

Please note that I am not even going to think about changing the way threads and subthreads are displayed. I like it the way it is, and such fiddling is beyond my capabilities anyway. I may try messing with the identations, but again, I'm not even sure I know how to do that, so I'm not making any promises. ;)

Miscellany

15. Do you think it is possible for an established politician to undergo a major ideological shift? That is, a genuine one, not one for political gain.
Yes

16. What is your favorite way to experience nostalgia?
in small gatherings of parties with those who shared it

17. Are you content with your given name & surname? If not, how come? What would you change it to if you could?
I have no problems with my name.

18. Are you good with time management? If yes, any advice?
not really

19. What was the first piece of genuine "literature" that you remember appreciating?
The Big Orange Splot

20. Are you on friendly terms with your neighbors? (Apartment neighbors count too.) If so, how did you get that way?
I am. My neighbor across the street is the brother of a friend of a friend who I have also since befriended. My next-door neighbor probably started being friendly after I helped get her car unstuck after an ice storm last year.

21. When you hang out with people, do you have the most fun on your own turf (in your apartment or home), at their place(s), or in a neutral spot, like a pub or a mall?
I'll have fun anywhere, but I prefer not to be at my own place.

22. If you could invite a foreign/distant friend to visit your city/town at any season or time of year, which would you pick as ideal?
It depends on who the friend is and what they like. Different seasons appeal to different people.

2-. Do you participate in any community-ish events? (Local markets, library book clubs, church events, etc.) Which ones?
Yes, I am fairly active in my church. I sing in the choir and do other random things. I also help out at the community theatre occasionally.

Oh, that's my favorite number. Best stop here. I censored it for Amy's sake.

Thank you all very much for answering; I especially appreciate detailed and thought-out answers in the "layout" section. :)
You're welcome.
