Do you think we could hold a design comp or something to change the forum theme? I\'ve been here over 3 years and it hasn\'t really changed much at all accept for those sweet buttons No-One made (I think he did them anyway).

Anyway, since there is the new name etc for the main site, and the forums are supposedly going multi console, I thought it might be nice to have a change in the overall look. Nothing major, just a minor overhaul. I have some suggestions/ideas, but I am not going to start on them unless the interest is there.

we where told that if we changes the colo(u)r or Forum theme.. the Sky would indeed fall down.

i mean even Nostradamus saw that one comming.

ahhheeemmmm

And in the year when the walking robot from the future becomes a leader in the new world, the one known only as mm shall change the very essence of the forum of eternal wisdom…and there will be bloodshed and wailing and gnashing of teeth.. and yes microsofts X box will still be performing piss poor in the land of the sun.

well I think Aaron will be doing a complete makeover along with the forums, I don\'t know if he\'ll have a competition again or not, I\'d like to play around with the forums again.

But if I had to guess, I\'d say the forums would just have the same design as the new site.

If we could just get rid of the Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan font at the top of this page, I\'d be happy.  :)

The rest of it looks great.

I just wasn\'t sure if there was some vb code template or something where everything has to be implemented and created (like create a file or something).

Could you repharse?

Are you talking about like a fill-out-form type deal? Im sure you could take the direct code from this website, and just get new colors.

Well, basically, I didn\'t know how it all works. I wasn\'t sure if there was like a form or program or something that could be used.

Like, for instance, I have seen other forums using what I presume is the same forum code or whatever (vvb or something) and they have a totally different layout etc.

At another forum I use to post at their was this thing called vBB skins.

Not sure if mm would approve, but it looks amazingly cool.

I believe it was something like http://www.gamegeneration.com or something, not sure but I dont post their anymore.

Yeah, it would be cool for a change, the forums are starting to look dated and a new look might encourage some new members.

I\'m more then willing to give a few designs ago, I just need to know how to go about it.
