Forum Suggestion!

Dragate · February 13th, 2009, 14:13

I noticed first of all there isn't a suggestion thread haha.

Well I was thinking for the sugesstion that since ASC is such a big community now, I think the community base deserves a bit of eye candy =D
Meaning a new forum skin.
I'm not talking about those crazy cg gamer forum types, but like a web 2.0 type simple, effective, professional and more exclusive.

I just google imaged forum skins and here a few examples:

Yes yes, I know... those aren't exactly web 2.0 but you get what I mean.

And most importantly, I'm not just talking here, cuz I'm an avid user of photoshop and I will be willing to fully create this skin or part of it, and help implement it too.

I think with a nicer look on the forum, the stay on here will be more pleasant as well!

Thank you very much for your time.

ASC's fine how it is.

In the last 3 months It's changed more than it has in the past 2 years. I live ASC how it is

And if you scroll down to the very bottom of your screen you will see you can change the forum appearance between the many different styles of boring blue and boring grey.

yaya but those are like
erhm ya lol
i just think a more visual appealing one should be added =]

Gunk · February 13th, 2009, 14:37

Ditto.

Besides, you can change the skin colour (theme?) throught the drop down cell thingy on the bottom left of the site.

N/M Hades beat me to it

Chingyul · February 13th, 2009, 14:42

Bring it up with the admin. If you make a skin for it, you could probably get them to add it to the options.
The current look sure beats the black and blue, and the black and red look from back in the day.

Dragate · February 13th, 2009, 14:50

Thing is it's not really about the colours...
It's more like a little more like getting it a bit more graphically appeasing and a nicer, more intuative layout

Jimski · February 13th, 2009, 14:52

lol... best quote about sigs (I heard it on HLP): "If your signature is larger than your average post, your posts either suck or your signature is too big."

Dragate · February 14th, 2009, 02:35

wow off topic much

obviously it won't look like that.

I'm just asking if anyone else wants this, because I'm not gonna make a really nice skin and waste my time.

and use ur imagination lol

Lisa · February 14th, 2009, 08:46

well the main reason we've stuck with skins that are very similar to each other is that when we make changes we only have to change one skin not a multitude. we had a problem with trader ratings not showing up in other skins because they had to be manually added.

Staffsgt · February 14th, 2009, 11:18

The forum has definitely been through a huge number of modifications over the past .. what, 8 years?

I still miss the blue camo of the SoF/ASC board.

Jimski · February 14th, 2009, 11:27

I want pink all over the place, and florentine borders

to fit the nice AK angel we have today

Dragate · February 14th, 2009, 15:04

well alright!

Obvoiusly accomidations can be made and I"m willing to make them as long as it's approved.

Up to lisa i guess
