saul does a really good job with themes. I don't know why you'd be surprised >>;
His newest one (not out yet) is amazing. |
Why, thank yous :)
Yeah I really like the Johto one but I'm already sick of the fixed container on it. My current WIP also has a fixed container but it's wider. And of course I can't take complete credit for the Johto one. It was inspired by this: http://pokecompany.servermh.net/cutenews/data/upimages/Pokemon_2000.jpg |
Now we just need to work on interstaff fighting :|
Arrrrgh. |
Can't wait to see the new theme Saul. I'm not too active there anymore.... Got my own stuff going on.
|
What do you guys think of this new forum software called engageForums? It's being developed by Chris who made FlexBB. I think it has a lot of potential, it's not the best with security right now but he said he'll get that in when it gets further along the lines of being released. He also has a lot of great ideas that he will be putting into it. Check it out, the link is below.
http://www.commutebyrail.org/engage/ |
What do I think of it? Show me the source and I'll tell you what I think of it.
|
lol small time forum softwares come and go. No use getting excited about the tide coming in just to have it go back out.
I feel like MyBB has really slowed their dev cycle though and it kind of annoys me :| I wish Vanilla would release quicker too. |
Yeah I was actually just looking at Vanilla now and it was not very impressive :<
I retract my comment about that~ I'm browsing through Wikipedia's list of PHP forums and nothing is catching my eye. Ughhh. I don't even like SMF's "2.0" look and for some reason... that particular software has always left a bad taste in my mouth. |
I have high hopes for engageForums, I've already made a FlexBB style for it, and I'm making one for PE too, I only have the header done, but eF is far away from being released.

Sorry to distract from the current topic of forum softwares, but does anyone have any input on 000webhost.com? I like their prices for Premium Hosting.... cPanel is a must for me and I like that the package comes with Reseller, it'd be easy to migrate/manage all of my sites onto that one server, I would think....
But I know some of you are more knowledgeable in this area than me, so I'm wondering if anyone knows if this is a good reliable host? O_o; I really need to get off A Small Orange. I pay too much for too little. |

Geoff and I use Downtown Host (I think he still does...) and haven't had any real problems. |
Quote:
|
I used 000's free hosting, it was terrible, downtime all the time. I now use x10Hosting, they have awesome paid plans, with cPanel of course.
|
Paul - I was thinking the same thing.... As for Downtown, I don't have the moneys to pay for their prices. :(
Faltzer - Probably true. Haunter Master - Thanks. x10 Hosting doesn't seem to offer reseller hosting though... :/ 'Course there probably isn't a very cheap reseller package out there.... >.>; |

Quote:
The reason I've been looking for a reseller package is because I want to place four/five websites on a single server, and with a reseller package, I could create separate accounts for each of them -- or at least, I think I can...? But. I've been thinking I wanna save money so maybe I should just buy a basic/share package somewhere and create a directory for each individual site and have their domains point to the appropriate directory. What do you guys think...? >.<; |
All of my sites are in subdirectories and it doesn't make a difference for me. Pokejungle/MMC/Smeargle/Blog/etc
The only pro about reseller is if it comes with the cpanel option to make an account for each site if they're owned by different people who want access. |
Quote:
|
I thought about Host Gator personally after Elixant closed...but... I just felt they were overselling too much and wanted a realistic host with realistic prices.
|
While I'm against all form of "unlimited", HG is a real company that actually has the resources to pay for the resources that it offers. Granted, the only restrictions that apply other limit such as process limit and inode. A support article answers this, in fact: http://support.hostgator.com/articles/pre-sales-questions/inode-usage-limits
|
I was looking into a reseller because I wanted to keep all of my sites separated, rather than in subdirectories and such.... if that makes sense.
Yeah, I think I'll go down the shared/basic package route then. A lot cheaper. Oh, one question though... It'd be easy to move my sites over if I make up a backup of each site in cPanel and then restore them in cPanel on a new server, right? But if I'm doing multiple sites.... would that really work if each is going into its own subdirectory? O_o; Host Gator doesn't look too bad, neither does Downtown actually. I'll look around, thx. :) |
CPanel to CPanel is pretty easy to switch and can be done by the host either for free or for a fee.
That's how I did it with Downtown. Was pretty simple. |
I know it can be done. I'm just wondering if four cPanels to one cPanel can be done. O_O
|
If you mean migrating those 4 cPanel's into one, sure. If you mean having different aliases to access one cPanel, no.
|
BTW I think it was 'Web Hosting Talk' or something... but it was a forum that had a LOT of good feedback about hosts =] So I would look into that.
Didn't post there much myself but as a read-through you'll get a lot of information on reliability and what real customers had to say. |
Downtown Host is amazing. Seriously, saul, it's worth the money. I'm on a shared bronze account - it's $7.95 a month if you pay yearly, and there was a 25% off coupon when I signed up. According to their site they still have one - "happy2009" is the code, so it's like $75ish a year. The support's outstanding and I don't think I've ever had any downtime with them. I've actually been happier with them than I was with Elixant (though Elixant was awesome too). And switching to them was painless - they took care of the moving and I didn't lose anything.

So, anyone interested in any projects? I'm looking for some help on something I've been working on.
So this will basically be a large amount of different sections, all to a main site (F.A.D.), which will basically just be a site that just links people places. I just always wanted a place that I could go for all the best links to things that I need, quickly, and without having to sort through a list of bookmarks or dig through links on Google. So yeah, if someone likes to do research and knows quite a bit about a certain subject (Not even namely Pokemon, considering I'm hoping to do multiple subjects), doesn't have anything to do, and wants to help out, just let me know here, VMs, or PMs. And don't judge the layout, it's just a quick mock up so I can have a physical idea about what I might do with the site. Also it's nice to have it for situations like this to show people. It's far from final, believe me. (Please, Faltzer, avoid the comments about how idiotic this idea is and how it'll be a waste of web space, not that you'd do something like that. :P) |

Yeah, I'm not too hot on the logo. Interesting idea though!
I'd just suggest making sure the links can have ratings so it can aggregate them based on quality. |
Hm, nice suggestion. :P
I've actually got someone else programming it for me now, since I'm not good enough/too lazy to do it. XD I'll let him know. |
Sorry for suddenly popping in and changing the topic but wow they finally moved this forum. o_o

Well, there's been an update on the projected ideas that I originally had.

So what do you guys think of Content Management Systems? I got the chance to recently play around with one, but I dunno, it seemed like cheating. Though everything was really tough to learn there was great payoff.
As another question, what would you think of a site that uses a Content Management System. |

I chuckle at those talking about hosting now-a-days... I'll never go back to shared hosting after owning a dedi. It's a bit more, but I love having the free reign to do whatever the hell I want. :D |
jerking is a form of hip-hop dance. It started in LA, California in 2008. It became popular by 2009 around the US. Now, in 2010 Jerkin has spread all over the world! I just created a new Website which is a Jerkin Community. Please check it out if your interested. If you like my site, or you just want to help me out, please register and become a member of my site. When i get 50 members, my dance group, and some other ones that agreed, will creat a jerkin tutorial including all the new advanced moves!
Please Help me Out and Visit: http://www.jerk4life.tk If i get enouph active members i will creat a ".com" which will make my site jerk4life.com Thank you for your time :classic: |

Also, Webs is retarded; why are they making Webs ID? It makes a lot more sense to use OpenID. |

That isn't gonna work... But you can try, we all did once, and failed miserably D:
And not to forget... It's called "jerking" Anyway... I got a question... How do you guys promote your sites and blogs... I know its usually all the directories and search engines, what else and which all precisely? |
I don't promote... I just let it go by word-of-mouth (or hand, in the case of typing)
|
Anyone used vBulletin 4 yet, if so what you think about it?
|
I still haven't decided if I'll upgrade. I have a few months left on my lease of 3.8 but I kinda wanna keep it :\
|
Could I have your thoughts on my new layout, that I have almost completed for my site? Its just a test, so theres hardly any clickable links on it yet, thanks :D
(http://www.pokemonvalley.eeveeshq.com/hgst.php) |
I like the fonts... tho the red seems off for some reason to me.
:) |
the AP (administration panel) in my forum is very simple. the only problem im encountering is the lack of members :'( but what do u guys think about the theme (i know, the who is online image is in french but i'm too lazy to change it :/ ):
http://pokenaruto.forumotion.com/ |
@PT: The text size for your content is way too small, and you should not use tables.
Aside from that, it's good. @wondergirl: That's a pretty terrible forum skin. In fact, there is barely any flow in the theme, and those post status indicators look distracting. They should be subtle so it doesn't stick out. |
hm what colors do u think i should use? and what do u mean about the post status?
|
If you are going for the snowy color scheme, keep it at that. Try making the "no new post"/"new post" icons around the color; going from white/blue to orange and then pick at random intervals is obnoxious.
|
Yes I know I've had a bit of trouble with the graphics at that site. But the thing is, I suck at making buttons and I can't find someone to do them for me. And I don't have time to search and ask :/
|
Pokemon Valley: I don't mind the table use, I just feel like they're too close together for my taste :x
|
lol i learned html <a href=http://bloomilk.byethost32.com">lol herrs my site?</a> is it good its not in html though :( its a website for my MMO
|
That... is a very pretty wordpress theme :D

guys i suggest you use byetist you can mnage everything you could with a domain but its a sub-domain that can be tk-ed |
hey guys, im back. i made a new skin for my forum: http://pokenaruto.forumotion.com/
i know that the buttons for new, no new and lock still dont match with the forum colours that well, but ill try to change them as soon as possible. what do you guys think of the new skin? oh yea and i also put pokemon and naruto shippuuden eps in japanese subbed in english, that way ill get more ppl to come to my forum. i might also put the manga soon. |
I dunno if naruto/pokemon is really a winning combo for a forum :S
|
Quote:
|
yes, i do. but most sites put that, and anyway as you can see my forum isnt that popular ^_^
and i think pokemon/naruto combo actually does work. |
Uhm... it's still illegal. End of story, yo.
edit: oh... my name got changed. o.o |
lol, lets not get fiesty now greg. All of that questionable adult material you downloaded from torrents for me wasn't exactly legal either. ;)
|
(I thought we agreed not to talk about that in a public place?!?!)
Also, new ava is hot. :) |
Quote:
|
meh :/ that sucks
well what can i do attract ppl then? |
You gotta come up with something unique. It's uniqueness that keeps those people coming back, and new people coming.
|
yeah, i deleted the episodes. im still thinking about something unique
|
It's not something that comes in a day :P
Unique could be a fun forum organization (some places run an RPG style organization), it might be your community in general (the people here vs those at SPPf? no question). It could be content you provide - killer game guides or something. Or maybe you're able to score interviews. It's that sort of stuff that lets a website shine. {or illegally fansubbed videos that you make ;)} |
avatar is pedobearish greg.
Attracting ppl? Give out free money. Works pretty well. Hold a contest. Advertise. Get affiliates. :D |
Ah yes, affiliates! I forgot to mention that my affy button isn't finished yet xD but I know many sites to affy with.
|
Quote:
:3 Affiliates have never really worked for me... :\ |
what happened to good old phpBB like i have?
>:O |
phpBB is icky IMO. Greg will whine about MyBB's security vulnerabilities, but it really is the most feature packed system out there.
|
But didn't MyBB's lead developer leave or something?
{And haven't they been promising the Sparkly New Version for like... longer than vB was promising a CMS?} |
The entire concept of 'affiliation' is retarded. Partnerships work, not link exchanges. And the reason why SQL Injections still exist (especially in MyBB,) is because losers don't bother to use mysqli, so JKaizer/Koroku/aRedMoon is correct. And they never gave me the theme that they promised, so I am angry at them forever.
|
Partnerships in what way?
|
i dont see why it would be retarded. you dont pay for it, so might as well try. some people do click on other sites' buttons.
|
You look at stats, and you see very little/no referral action through affiliate buttons. It's more work than it's worth for the most part now-a-days.
|
Like I said, better try than do nothing. It's not much work, and you can tell the site's owner to write it in the update so that the members can take a look at it. It's just a bit, but it can still help.
|
Quote:
I click through affiliate links. lawl. If one site doesn't have what I need I always hope one of their affys do. |

Quote:
|
Yeah the traffic you get from exchanging buttons is virtually nil .-.
Aw well. It's still fun :3 Reminds me of the good 'ol days of the fandom. When there were like 10k little fansites. Like a field of dandelions. |

What graphic sites?
I want to make a new layout but I can't find any good images to use -3- |
Quote:
I await legit talkback from the respective webmasters of the above from either a snitch or a paranoid Google search. I dunno. Pokejungle is a silly goose. |
I don't see why they'd post here about that. Unless they really think they're top dog on gfx. @[email protected]
lol I was trying to learn how to use GIMP the other day, didn't go too well. |
Quote:
|
Zet, that's actually about to change. the GIMP team is actually working on moving everything into a single window for its next release. See
|
That's good to know ^_^
I also don't like those windows all over the place |
I know, that's what had kept me from using GIMP before. They still have the 3 windows in this 2.6 release BUT they changed it so that there is only one docked window on your menu bar. That way you can minimize them and they act as 1 window.
|
FINALLY. I hate the multi-window GIMP deal. ;_; It makes me wanna cry.
{And Paul, just move to Iowa. It's legal there :3} |
can anybody help me install a style switcher to my site?
|
What's the link to your site?
|
Quote:
|
i dont have any experience and i would like someone to explain and install it for me
|
Does your web hoster have a forum? If so, they should have a style switcher tutorial or something. Otherwise, I don't know.
