Poor Dingo.

MeechMunchie 06-20-2012 04:13 PM

I bet Eazy followed us back here.

Wings of Fire 06-20-2012 04:14 PM

I'm sorry, the only AG forum original I know was that annoying black guy.

MeechMunchie 06-20-2012 04:15 PM

Oh, that was him.

We only had the one, so he was pretty easy to spot.

Wings of Fire 06-20-2012 04:16 PM

Oh

Now I feel silly.

MeechMunchie 06-20-2012 04:17 PM

You ran away. As far as I'm concerned, that makes you sensible.

Nate's going to be annoyed. *Checks what thread we're in*

Never mind.

Wings of Fire 06-20-2012 04:23 PM

I didn't run away, I would never consciously forsake my duties as a moderator.

I just sort of... forgot.

I'm not annoyed. Just confused.

With Alcar's current license (I think) we can upgrade to any 3.x version but he'd need a new $200 license for 4.x. And since this is not the kind of place to put ads on (even though it would generate a fair income) that would be a big bite out of Alcar's wallet.

I suspect the issue is more to do with updating the themes for 4.x. He still hasn't finished the ones for 3.x yet...


(Also, I believe Abe Babe was the primary driver behind theme updating. Without her around, it's not likely to happen any time soon)

It's probably a better investment if your forum actually has some members. :tard:

Poor Dingo.

Phylum 06-20-2012 11:23 PM

We can get STM to update the themes.

MeechMunchie 06-21-2012 12:20 AM

Actually, I'm supposed to be doing that.

Manco 06-21-2012 01:12 AM

I keep saying to myself “I could totally put together a forum skin”, but then I remember how much free time I have.

That said, would there be any interest in a mobile-friendly forum skin? Like, one that changes depending on what device you view it on?

Okay I'm on it!

Havoc 06-21-2012 02:37 PM

Oh god.

OANST 06-21-2012 03:28 PM

No need to worry. He's too busy performing talk therapy sessions with bees to actually do it.

MA 06-21-2012 04:26 PM

no wonder they're pissed off.

OANST 06-21-2012 04:34 PM

Just a barrage of Oedipus complexes, I guess.

Strike Witch 06-22-2012 03:15 AM

Maybe we should ask Abe Babe to come back to help us get some new themes.

Alcar 06-22-2012 07:19 AM

Wait. What?

I did indeed want to build my own discussion board system, but I never got further than writing a few classes. Of which I would then go back and re-write because I decided they were written incorrectly. The probability of swapping the OWF to my system is zero - and has been for years now.

It's been an incredibly long time since I discussed this with anyone though - but I floated the idea of switching to Xenforo a while back, even going so far as to import a test board. The issues preventing us from swapping right now are the lack of OWF themes for Xenforo and the absence of blogs.

As Wil touched on, my issues with vBulletin stem from the loss of actual talent and direction. I'm not going to pay for shit software.

Alcar...

Definitely. Make one with big-ass buttons for iOS.

Alcar...

What are your thoughts on Vanilla? Open source, well-documented (including theme creation docs), and supports importing from old forums.

Funnily enough I think iOS styles buttons like that itself unless you specifically override it in the CSS.

Funnily enough, up unto a year or so ago, the largest Vanilla board was one I was privy to. I don't view Vanilla as being on the same scale.

Okay, so I finally got around to making a skin, most of it is in the link below. Yes I know, it's 9 months late or something, but enjoy. A lot of hard work has gone into it and I hope it gets used soon!

Varrok 06-23-2012 02:16 PM

Too much Sekto here. Otherwise, it's good enough

OANST 06-23-2012 05:06 PM

I would possibly use that skin.

Phylum 06-23-2012 05:43 PM

It would be better than honeybee.

Havoc 06-24-2012 05:43 AM

Holy shit!

I love it!

Laser 06-25-2012 07:41 AM

I'd give it a 6.6/10. Needs more pink

STM 06-25-2012 08:35 AM

That's a shame, I really tried to get across a feeling of homosexuality through the colour scheme. XD

What is homosexual?

Varrok 06-26-2012 03:13 PM

Nate 06-26-2012 06:10 PM

What is boredom? Oh, I know - it's what this thread inspires in me.
