A place to talk about anything (that doesn't belong in the other forums).

EDIT: I guess the forum wasn't a good idea.

Since this probably won't be a reality, I have no problem critiquing the forum for future reference, in case you ever want to start a forum later on for some other purpose.

<StrongBadMode>

First off, NO NO NO on the giant flashy background of doom. While I will admit it's nowhere near as bad as most of the "wallpapers" *shudder* that you see on MySpace, it's still very distracting. I like that you managed to use semi-transparent panes to make it less... pane-ful ...but it still doesn't really fix things. There's a reason Windows Vista has the contents of whatever's behind their smoky-glass window borders blurred, despite the vast amount of system resources it wastes to do it.

Also, if I were to get my site hosted with someone who throws ads all over your screen, I would expect them to use a non-freeware forum system at the very least. Like, say, the Invision Power Boards for which the site seems to be named and which I could swear they used to use. Seriously, there's no reason you can't set your sights, and your sites, higher.

I'd be able to offer some webspace once I've got a new hosting server sorted, but I wouldn't inflict my current database server on anyone xD
As if anyone else would trust you with their forum again.
Yes, I mean it's not like I've owned this domain name for just under two years now and we've had 1 downtime due to a server move and 1 due to an April Fool's joke, what an unreliable forum this is?

LIK LOLZ, GET OVER IT GUYZ AND GALZ, LOLOLOLOL, etc.
LOL I WUZ JAY KAY. :oops:
BOOM, HEADSHOT!

He said in his email that it the ad-free-ness was a 90-day trial limited time offer. So I expect once that runs out it'll be buried in SHOOT CONDOLEZA RICE AND WIN A FREE LAMBORGHINI HOT TUB!!! and the like.

Anywho: This thread is now about creating a collective comics site. There, that seems to work when Arloest does it; let's see how this develops.

The Lupinia Hosting Community will provide free ad-free hosting for such a system, as long as it does not use phpBB 2 (which shouldn't be a problem).

I think the idea of a forum for multiple comics is a great idea, and once I get mine going I might partake in this idea if possible.

I believe that your new avatar is the winningest of them all, Osprey.
