New Forum

You just forget one thing:

This board is now a part of a website and websites have an own brand. The forums are a part of the websites and the design should be unique.

It is no big deal to make additional skins or to change the size BUT the point is that something has to be done to re-brand the forums and merge them with the site.

If I do higher res. skins then people will ask for different site skins too and that's not a good idea.

We will release more skins but they will all look the same (branding). Only the styles / colors may change. (like a red skin for xmas, yellow for halloween etc)

Like Paul told me today:

If you go left people complain
If you go right people complain
If you go people complain
If you don't go people complain too

Damn, I sure do miss Paul.

Seriosly though, can't you make it like the old forums where it shaped to fit rez?

:D This is why I said do all this over the Weekend.For the MODs to control all the Chaos.But I have seen that some of them have not been on Duty since all this has gone down. :D


:01: 7th you have to have discipline if you want to run a tight Ship!Warn those who are not willing to Work Overtime! :01:

Well thats frustrating, we ask for something but its rejected because it doesnt fit with an image. We use this forum, we come here every day and we fill it with content, and then when somethings changed and we dont like it, tough. Paul is right, people will always complain, but i didnt see anyone complaining about the old skin.

If you want to be unique, than code your own message board and don't use Invision Power Board.And stop talking about brands, this is not the official Microsoft board with copyrights and stuff.The people want a comfortable place to be, but you just keep talkin about brands.

STOP talking and do something for the user

That's what you say. Once we offer free hosting for file sharing related pages we need our own brand.

If you don't agree then just look for a place that fits your needs. Maybe some kid forum where the design is IB basic with 150 additional skins to make users happy..

If you look for that try google

I think this leads to nowhere :offtopic:

I liked this board when it was JUST a message board.


Oh well, things change. ;)
