(RFD) Amiga.org's future

Thanks for the feedback guys.  As for myself, I'm still leaning towards the first one, and here's a screenshot as to why...

It helps to have it in perspective.

That's pretty nice looking.

Must admit that that first theme is pretty nice looking in context

Excellent work Wayne! Looks like you've taken it in the right direction.

I agree.

I think you made the right choice in the end. Vbulletin is rock solid as a forum. Everything else can be built around it.

Great work !

I like it. I think you have made the right choice. Whatever the outcome, I promise that I will not complain and I will applaud your efforts to move the site forward!

Your user accounts should work, please let me know whether you see any glaring issues.

To be honest, the perfectionist in me doesn't really *like* it so far, so I'm thinking of going ahead and buying a ready-made theme to build a custom "Amiga.org" style on.  

Primarily, I'm considering (my current favorite starting points for building a new theme)

1 - http://www.forummonkeys.com/forums/vbulletinskins/index.php?styleid=57

2 - http://www.completevb.com/demo/index.php?styleid=42

or

or making a very AMIGA version of this;

This is great Wayne!!

As for the colors and look, there's only one of them that I really like, and that's the "MacSkin".

But I can live with any one of them.

@ Wayne

I already knew which pill you would take before you did. At least you are predictable.

Glad to have been of amusement.

Seriously though, if nothing else, vB will "get us by" until something else comes along.  The *huge* thing was making sure we had a platform which would actually migrate as much of that 7-year-old forum data as possible.

Now that the data will be in a modern format, we're really in a good position to do pretty much anything we need to.

A.org's home page appears to be completely empty. Is something happening now? :nervous:

Just me screwing up.  Was called predictable, had to prove them wrong

Thanks for the scare Wayne! Was wondering just WTF was happening... another  crash or something :lol:

While it's by no means "soup" yet, I think we're moving along nicely.

Oh, nice! Can we actually use the new version to post? Or should we stick to posting here for now?

Thanks for your hard work Wayne! (et al?)

For the time being, post here please.  All posts here will be updated there when we go live, overwriting anything you do there.

Not everything can be migrated? What will be lost?  :nervous:

I don't want anything to get lost. :cry:
