Sorry to say it, but dark text on a dark background (*intentionally putting) does not look good. More so when you couple that dark text on a dark background with a font size that even a person with 20/20 vision would have trouble reading.

Colour Contrast Analyzer Please, for the love of all things good in this world, use that to test your text and background colours together.

... or else we’ll start hammering this into your heads. Generally, those who use such color choices never listen. But they might give in… you know out of sheer annoyance.

I’m actually writing something on idiots who don’t know that lighter on darker generally equals good. Whilst darker on dark equals b-a-d.

People that do this make me want to scream! I was visiting a girls site today, returning a comment, and her background was dark, dark blue with black text. I sat here waiting on the background to load, praying really, when I realized it was done! She intentionally wanted it to look like that! So I x’ed the site. Forget returning that one.
