Okay, part of the survey is going to be telling me which of those options you like best. 
The last one is not really viable, though I'm also curious how many people are going to throw a hissy fit because I changed my name. I guess I could be persuaded to change it back, but I have good reasons for the switch, and I do like Lupine. Some people will always think of me as Clover, but that's okay. Some people may always think of me as twelve years old, too. 
Anyways, this is another multi-parter, starting out with a lot of questions about wotmania/RAFO/design-oriented things. I make no promises, but I may try to develop a new layout (as an option, not the default) over the next few weeks, and it would really help me to know what people are looking for. (If you completely love what we have and don't care for change, tell me that too. It would save me time. )
)After the information-gathering, there is the usual miscellany, so feel free to skip ahead if you like.
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?
I saved that stats from my two main SNs. That is all, well that and my wonderfulness, as this place needs it.
2. Did you stick around for the closing?
No, some crazy person sheduled it for the early hours of the morning!
3. How did you feel about the whole thing - and about the subsequent transition?
Kind of sad wotmania has gone but it is the community that matters and hopefully that has survived the move.
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]).
No. I'm just going to carry right on with being the awesome person I am
5. Is there anything you miss about wotmania so far? Any RAFO-related change that really pleases you?
The different address?
Having the person who runs the site active is good.
6. What's your pick for our collective identity? (Rafolites, Rafonauts...)
REFhOles
Now onto issues of layout.
7. What colors do you currently use?
Black and white, more subtle for work
8. What color palettes would you like to see?
I'm happy with what there is.
9. What font do you use? (Did you know you can customize that? ) What fonts would you like added?
) What fonts would you like added?Georgia currently. As I'm too lazy to coe up with one
10. You prefer navigation bars that are:
A) On the left
B) On the right, or
C) Across the top
Left or the top is fine with me. Though the old Wotmania drop down ones along the top didn't work for me at work...
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?
The current one, as the old wotmania one didn't work for me
12. Do you like all of the icons? Would you like to see more graphics? If so, what kind?
I'm about happy with how it is. Being a work user, I like hte site to not look to flashy.
13. Do you like the current logo? If not, what would you like to see?
It could probably a little flashier than it is now, which is very plain. Though being plain isn't always a bad thing... maybe just looking better matched to the site image somehow?
14. If you've given any general thought to the matter, please tell me your thoughts here. (Sketch something out in words, maybe?)
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.
I think it is very much possible, I would imagine it would take some event, however minor, to trigger the moment of "Oh crap, I've been totally wrong all these years"
16. What is your favorite way to experience nostalgia?
Through good conversation with friends, talking about past events.
17. Are you content with your given name & surname? If not, how come? What would you change it to if you could?
Yeah, both are just fairly standardish ones.
18. Are you good with time management? If yes, any advice?
*puts off answering till later*
19. What was the first piece of genuine "literature" that you remember appreciating?
Hmm.
The Little House by Laura Ingalls Wilder when I was about 7. Do they count?
20. Are you on friendly terms with your neighbors? (Apartment neighbors count too.) If so, how did you get that way?
Passingly so, I will say hello to them... there has been a turn over of neighbours recently so I don't really know the current ones.
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?
Around a friend's house or the pub. Mostly the pub
Never got the hanging out at the mall thing.
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?
Summerish time. More visitor attractions are open. Though there is plenty to do in London all year around.
2-. Do you participate in any community-ish events? (Local markets, library book clubs, church events, etc.) Which ones?
Nope.
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.
