At times, I look at the index and it just seems rather old, rusty, and untouched.

I've thought about asking this lately. Maybe we should consider some forum revamping? (moving some, deleting some, making new ones, etc).

Perhaps breaking off Entertainment and Music, or something. Bringing back gaming specific forums? Anything.

What about merging all the gaming forums? It just seems that classic and online don't get enough activity to warrant their own forums.

That's all I got for now...

**raises her hand** I am all for breaking up the entertainment forum. Kinda like we had it before, back in the old MoD days, ya know?

Specific gaming forms might be nice too. I try posting in the gaming forums and like the only way they're separated is modern, classic, and online...I'm not a game buff. I've only played few actually, I'm just really into the ones that I have played, so...and with it organized better, cuz I'd like to broaden my horizons as far as gaming is concerned, I might know what the hell I'm reading about. :p

That's just me though. There's nothing wrong with the way it is now though. Breaking up the entertainment forum would be nice just for the change, and there's nothing wrong with the gaming forums either...I'm just gamingly challenged is all...:p

Probably not, since:
- I love gaming.
- Xeogaming

I just simply think it'd be a little rude to stray a bit from what kind of drove me to create these forums in the first place, and narrow that section down.

Then again, I'd be fine with just General and Classic. Though I recall the last time I brought up the idea of merging General and Online, everyone hated it.

I know its bad to say this, but what were the Entertainment forums on MoD? Were Entertainment and Music seperate, or?

Can't remember ... wheres that archive website.

I don't think any of the gaming forums should be merged...and...even though I'd have to say that RPing is my favorite thing to do here... If anything should be done with the game forums...we should expand them. Uncle VG's board is actually a very good example. His main focus is Japanese, Japan...etc...and its obvious.

EDIT:: Way to edit while I'm responding, Boss. XD

But yeah...I believe we had something separate for music and movies. Rogue would remember better than anyone probably.

Maybe there is some way to expand the RPing stuff.... Not really sure how, but it would be cool if we did...

On a side note: MS-Mod

Remember that weird test site of mine?

I really need to jump back on my old computer and see if I have any MoD backups, for the heck of it.

My descriptions seem so tacky, solid, and boring there.
(maybe they still do. )

**mouth drops** Holy...

Not really on this particular topic...but those member colors were better back then. I loved seeing the red on admins.

I think we need a MoD reunion!

And I need to beat up Sparda to get him posting again. That busy man.

Oh, what if we put a forum for flash games/movies found online?

I'm going to try to get an achive of MoD going.

FX: Not a bad idea, though I think changing Video Hut to something more like "Internet Finds" (stupid name, but just an example) would fill in for that idea and more.

yeah, we could call it "Lol Internetz!"

Also, we should change General Art to just Art. Feels a little redundant to me...

Oh wow, seeing those archives brings back a lot of memories. Maybe you can find a way to break the index up into 2 columns, like Ace's -- only have it as a choice in your profiles. But then, you'd probably have to find a way to shorten up the descriptions of each of the forums. *shrugs* Also, the forums themselves seem fine to me, no complaints here.

Well, I don't really have a problem with them or anything. I just think it'd be nice to kind of freshen things up I guess, instead of it being the same old same old or something.

Side note, got my old Acmlm Board folder from my old computer:
923 MB
21,500 Files, 1,395 Folders

Now this is just scary.

Damn, this isn't about changing the look of the index. I thought it would be. I'd be up for a design change anytime. Hell, I'll help you change the design if you want. I used to do it for old small boards just for the hell of it. I'll make a list of ideas.

- Move forum activity and online users to the bottom of the page.
- Right/left align the banner.
- Adjust headlinks and time so they look better if banner is moved.
- Remove all extra unused tables.

Just some ideas. Not saying you have to commit to anything. As for forum changes, I have no ideas.

Is that from when the board was run using files in the FTP instead of using a database? I can't remember what those files are called.

1. So basically make the board look more phpBB like?

2. Nah, I don't think so. The earliest version I was using was 1.8a, and that stored stuff in the db.

I just have too much junk, lots of copied and repeated files everywhere. Its a mess.
