I know this is a tired observation, but half of those websites don't work any more. Including TOL.

Gorilla Jiu-jitsu sounds pretty cool, though.

Crashpunk · #2 08-28-2012, 08:43 AM

Yeah I agree. However what can we put there instead? Links to the OWF YouTube? The Minecraft servers?

Nepsotic · #3 08-28-2012, 10:40 AM

The Steam group?

***Wil*** · #4 08-28-2012, 11:06 AM

They're not just links to sites we like. They're links to the sites of the Forums' sponsors.

Nepsotic · #5 08-28-2012, 11:51 AM

Some of which, do not exist.

MeechMunchie · #6 08-28-2012, 12:02 PM

I think this place is fairly self-sufficient now. The only one of those places still active is partially controlled by the person who runs OWF.

I wouldn't mind the Steam group going into Wil's sig, though.

STM · #7 08-28-2012, 12:08 PM

Maybe it's an excuse to revamp Oddchat and TOL.

Nepsotic · #8 08-28-2012, 12:12 PM

OddChat doesn't need a revamp, it just needs people who can be arsed to go on it.

STM · #9 08-28-2012, 12:17 PM

Seeing as it's inaccessible to about 60% of the people on OWF. Yes, yes it does.

Self-sufficient? What, from all those ads we have?

Manco · #11 08-28-2012, 02:55 PM

Wait, there are ads?

...Wait, there’s an OWF Facebook group??

If they actually wanted to go on there it wouldn't be difficult for them to install a real IRC client.

I tried to use mIRC once and it was mean to me.

True story.

Peter is strangely hesitant to change those. I've encouraged him to get rid of the broken ones at the very least, but he doesn't want to.

Yeah, that was a bit of a mixup. We're waiting on the DNS to update itself and it should be back in a day or so.

You tell me, you said we had sponsors.

Oh please, this place is hosted on a 10 dollar a month hosting account that is paid out of Alcar's own pocket. There is no self-sufficiency to speak of. It's not like we run around, collecting money to pay off the premium dedicated server to run this forum.

***Wil*** · #17 08-29-2012, 08:17 AM

Kind of my point.

JennyGenesis · #18 08-29-2012, 09:10 AM

Wouldn't changing the links on the top banner also require a new forum theme as well?

Nepsotic · #19 08-29-2012, 09:12 AM

Of course not, it's not just one huge image, it's a composite of different layers. He just needs to delete them specific layers and create some new ones, no big deal.

Manco · #20 08-29-2012, 09:21 AM

It’s slices, not layers, but otherwise the boy’s got it!

That said, creating new slices to replace the old from scratch might not go so smoothly. I’ve had an idea rattling in the back of my head about fixing up the forums with a more modern, less image-heavy skin, but time and effort are against me.

Plus, y’know, the Curse.

STM · #21 08-29-2012, 09:27 AM

I think once Alcar gets around to implementing the theme I created, things will start to look up for everyone.

Bullet Magnet · #22 08-29-2012, 01:31 PM

I bet it's laden with viruses and accidentally-created spyware.

Varrok · #23 08-29-2012, 01:34 PM

Yeah... accidentally

OANST · #24 08-29-2012, 01:36 PM

If it doesn't have an Elum crapping on a glass table then I'm not interested.

Sekto Springs · #25 08-29-2012, 04:31 PM

I say we fuck up the theme as much as possible and invite Cloverfield back for one day to see what the place has become.

Actually I tried slicing up the theme and such a while ago, and it didn't go well. Whoever sliced it up in the first place did a horrible job. Or maybe it's just the forum software.

You actually finished that?

That could be the logo for the Necrum section except that Elum shites out "Shitty Threads"?

OANST · #29 08-30-2012, 06:17 AM

Now that's thinking.

MeechMunchie · #30 08-30-2012, 07:34 AM

I did draw a picture of an obsese Elum shitting out a bloodstained screencap of Oddworld RPG, but the save screwed up and I don't think I could stomach drawing it again.

I mean, ten minutes of looking at Oddworld RPG is enough for anyone.
