We've been asked if we'd like to convert to Zeta Boards for free. Here are some examples I looked up:

http://s1.zetaboards.com/Studio_Cold_Star/index/

http://drarry.com.ar/index/

http://s1.zetaboards.com/Xtreme_Gaming/index/

So... what do you think? I don't know if we'll have to change URLs or not... but it'll convert all of our posts, I believe.

Dragon: I bet Xantar is like the ultimate designated driver
Dragon: drops off all his drunk buddies at each other's ex-girlfriends' houses


Mystic Gohan: xantar has had his lasting effects on our easily influenced minds
Mystic Gohan: hes probably at home cackling as we speak


Me: Xantar never really talks unless you talk to him first.
Marci: And that will hold until he makes the first move. I've learned. Don't ever go into a Xantar conversation blind.
It's like going swimming naked. You make sure there aren't any sharks nearby and that you don't have any open wounds first.

I like Invisionboard, but that doesn't look too much different. It's really up to you, I don't care as long as my text show sup and I can post semi-dirty pictures of RPG characters I like.

But at least with that setup we'll be able to read the topic titles in-thread!

Eh. I'm going with no. I'm not a fan of change, and I'm personally fond of how the boards look and operate. Of course I'm not the one who has to work on them and format them, so shouldn't Marci be the main person to ask?

Up to you guys, but I say no.

Xantar: And for your information, I didn't call on any minions. They got into this on their own, and they seem to be having a blast.

Marci: Screw you too, I'm not your minion.

Xantar: Also, Makokam is not my minion. Just thought I'd point that out.

The coding is easier, so I can do some of it, too.

The coding is alot easier. Odds are if we do switch over, I'll try to keep this old style intact, or at least rebuild it and offer it as an option should we decide on a different layout.

Here's the great thing about it. I tested out a forum like they suggested to me, and you can have several different layouts.

http://s1.zetaboards.com/testingrpgtesting/index/

That has the original, Disturbia and Edge on in. Yes, I can do preset layouts easily and I found a forum that has some. Go to the bottom of the page and switch between the three for a better idea of what we'll be able to offer.

I like the purple better! Since purple is the best color EVER! And yay on the shoutbox! ^^

You really gotta think on which one you find easier to code though. =)

I also like the purple best. But the great thing is there is a whole forum full of stuff to choose from, and if a couple of members like, say, green, we can add it. We can have as many skins as we want. I'm thinking of making the purple one the default, but it really could be anything, since it's so easy to switch between the skins.

I voted yes on proposition 13. Just because, unlike Slappy, I like it when things change and move around on me. It might make my night, coming home a little tipsy or whatever it is that I do. Go online. Maybe check the forum out. Wait. THIS IS NOT THE RPG SPOT. WTF. *puke*

Hahahaha, I can totally see that happening.

"WTF IS THIS?! BLARG GARGLE SPEW."

Hee.

I'm actually pretty excited. We have to wait for them to get around to it, though. It might take a little while.

Meh, why not. I voted yes, mainly on the basis that the mockup you made Lish was purple. Not just any purple, oh no, It was freaking Pimp purple.

I eat babies. Also, read my fanfics.

So...do you have any interest in necrophilia?

Don't worry about it being too long - we like long here.

Well if it will make everything easier then its not like I would have any real issue with the change. Go for it. It will at least be amusing when Dave ruins his keyboard.

So I opted in for conversion, but I have no idea how long it will take. They have to convert each board that has opted in themselves, so it could take some time. But eventually, yes, we WILL have a pimp purple layout. XD

I've already downloaded the buttons for it, which I didn't upload for the demo. The ugly folder stuff? Not gonna be there on the purple theme. <3
