Im noticing a kind of 'lack of motivation' around here lately.. Which to me says that u guys arent happy with the way the site is.
I cant change anything unless i know what u want changed ;D so have a think and let me know what i could change that would get people involved.

I personally think that its more of a lack of members. We should go on a major advertising campaign. In fact, I know of a GFX website which has recently closed down. I may try and nab some of the members.
And then we could run a battle tournament when we have enough members for the website.

ah nice one, thx Redz. i think ur right, lack of members is part of the problem, but ive run out of people to invite ive stolen... i mean.. aquired... as many of the 9D people that i could, got a few of my friends from school and im jus all out of people now... its kinda down to u guys to invite ur friends now... i tried raising the Karma points for invites but no1 seemed to take interest.. Maybe an event is in order... for a period of time (havent decided how long or when yet) if u can get 2 or more people to register, there will be a "limited edition" (if u will) medal awarded to be put in your sig to show your support to the site. any comments on this?

About the site... /owning mode on The Skin is horrible. Plain and simple. We need something a wee bit fancier than this... *Puts on thinking cap then gets big wide grind* overcomersgfx.proboards42.com/index.cgi?board=sfc&action=display&thread=1188951982Take a look at that, kill all the button images and such, you can leave the banner, but I would make it a beige color instead. You have to save off all the provided images and re-upload them or our forum will get shut down. Edit what needs editing in the code... I think you can handle that. With a few renovations like that this should get up and running in no time. But don't forgot to colorize the banner beige, and re-make the avatar and userbar and affiliate banner you made. ;D /owning mode off

Hmm. If you do want a better skin the easiest way to do so would be to switch to a phpBB forum. I mean with a free host you can just pick from one of their skins that they have, or if you host your own, you get the added bonus of being able to control everything. and to install a new skin you can just pick from one on the web or if someone has good skinning skills make their own. For an idea of what Forumer (Free forum host) Can do then wacfourms.4.forumer.com/If you want to host your own (And its not that difficult to do) then I suggest www.zymic.com/Freewebs will probably not do the job as you need to host your own mysql database (which can be automatically set up.

phpBB is very hard to use, I prefer proboards. There is a whole separate page full of functions I don't even bother to read... Anyways if you want different skin than the one provided I may make one, but you guys are going to have to make the GFX I need for it.

I don't have anything in mind. What kind of colors and design would you prefer?

id like to keep the colour scheme as grey & something.. keeping it grey and blue would be easier because the logo, avatar and userbar all match..
i agree that the skin needs to be fancier but id like to keep the coulour scheme

Only one thing I want to say: Please don't use white/very bright colours.. I can't stand to read forums with those colours (like the 9D one), it just kills my eyes Grey & blue go well together though, and I think it suits a GFX forum (for some weird reason). Just saying what I think since I'm new here ^^;

Yeah, a Screenshot of the HTML color codes on the skin would help a-lot.
