YWS is now in grayscale

Dear YWS family,

Due to skyrocketing prices of color ink, we have made the difficult decision to fully transition YWS to black ink only. We understand that this may come as quite the shock, but rest assured that a grayscale site has many benefits:

- Better site loading times
- Less blue light = healthier circadian rhythms
- No harmful eye strain due to clashing colors
- No more jarring color switches on significant holidays
- No more grappling with confusing color bbcode
- Perpetual fun arguments on how "græy" should be spelled
- Impeccable noir vibes

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we turn the page on a new era of YWS.

I didn't even notice it for a second because I had my phone in bedtime mode

uh oh, toto!

first the ads are back and now we can't afford color ink?!

what's next? can we even afford to feed @Big Brother?!

Pleasantville has been reverted back to black and white!

I had wondered if I had done it ti myself to get myself off the phone.
Then wondered what it had to do with NaPo.
Then slowly slowly realized lol

Everybody, I found color by swiping to the side! Don’t tell Big Brother! Just trust me, it’s there! We’re safe until they patch it!

Good thing I switched to a black and white avvie a while back!

I genuinely thought this is my sign to get enough sleep bc my eyes stopped working properly ToT

film noir fanatics are frothing at the mouth currently

Aww this actually kind of reminds me of 2007 YWS and the dark gray background/purple headings color I had.

I literally flinched when I opened this site.

Yes! I possibly had something very similar going, if not the same one.

Though it had nothing on the notebook theme.

I've actually gotten more eye strain from this ToT
