I am that person, so here's the official word, from the horse's mouth  
as it were...  ;)

The current Ruby Quiz site has been end-of-lifed for many reasons I  
won't bore you with.  I am currently developing its replacement.   
(Those who've been paying attention know I've been saying that for  
months now, but I promise it really will be up before too much  
longer!  I've been using all my free time on the _other_ Ruby Quiz  
project, so don't be too mad at me...)

Anyway, you are not the first person to complain about the colors and  
I do intend to address the issue in the new site.  I promise to post  
the design for comments when it's ready and respond to criticisms  
raised.

I'm not really interested in pouring any more effort into the current  
site (other than maintaining it), since I would rather spend the  
little free time I have finally finishing the new design.  So, for  
now it is a problem and it's probably going to stay a problem for  
just a little longer, yes.  :(  I apologize for that.

Hopefully this doesn't affect people too much since the quiz is  
conducted here, entirely in plain text.  You can also use Google  
Groups to access the old treads in a similar fashion, for now.

On a happier note, there will be a new quiz to play with tomorrow  
morning and I would like to personally welcome you to the Ruby  
community.  I hope you enjoy your stay!

Thanks for the feedback.  I apologize again about the site colors.
