No offense, but to properly promote this forum it needs a real name. yeah , that is another question....what is the end game here ? is there any membership recruitment strategy or just word of mouth ?

I say we start by word of mouth, then go from there to decide. I like the idea of having the fantasy area setup as a place where other forums come to to compete, then be enticed to our basement.

Which video in particular? Everyone I've tried has worked. I can dick around with the embedding, but I just want to diagnose the problem first before I fuck everything up. Spencer's videos in his Errbin/WTF the thread. Are you viewing on your phone or another mobile device? The movies I posted are actually .webm files, which are like roided up versions of animated gifs. Some phones have issues with them, from what I hear.

I hadn't really thought it out. I just threw a place up as fast as possible so that we got everyone here. I thought that was most important because otherwise, we may have lost contact with some regulars. I'm pretty pleased with how this is turning out. Word of mouth has worked great. Where we go from here, who knows. Angie and Todd have a good idea with promoting the fantasy forum and growing from there. We'll see. I just PM'd Loco and I do plan on making things a little more elaborate once the dust settles. The most important part now is getting the band back together

I'm down to throw ina few bucks for hosting or domain name purchase information. If you start a go fund me page, I'm sure some would pitch in a few bucks, even if it's 5 dollars.

I'll send an e-mail out to an web designer I know who owes me a favour. He'll probably have a few places he can recommend that are cheap, and maybe a back-end that we'll find more useful/friendly to migrate over to. All of us chipping in a few bucks should be easy enough. Maybe a rake from forum bets?

For those that didn't realize (myself included) the participated button in upper right will bring a up a list of every thread you talked in with a new post you can link right to.

I dig the new color scheme.
But it did reveal a habit of mine. I see this color scheme and immediately scroll down.

I think the colors of the forum could still use some dialing in. Something that adds a bit more contrast, especially for the multi-quotes and replied to boxes. Maybe a darker grey for the quoted boxes? I feel like the white and the light grey are a bit close in color and could be easier/more obvious to seperate if it had more contrast. I agree that playing with a darker background may be worth looking into.

For those of us from Weekly, I'd like to see us as Senior Members or Founders or Plankowners or something. To differentiate the weekly OGs from the FNGs that come after.
I'd actually like my status to say something like Resident Gunslinger.
That'd work for me.

You yags got any ideas? What do you think of the color change? I had a couple people request that it look a little more like Weekly so I started dicking around a bit.
Firstly, lose the horrible colour scheme, it looks like Spencer when he's on his period.
Also, change the title FFS, OD Refugees? Is that the best you could come up with? How about "MMA Deserters", or "MMA Muppets" as a lot of them have moved over I see.
Also, can you restore my Mod / VIP++ privileges, this forum needs me in charge of a couple of sections

More contrast between posts is a good one, I'm having a bit of trouble differentiating at times. Or is it possible to just put a border around each post/between posts- something more physical to stop the eye?
How about a "view last post" button- epic threads are nice to zoom to the last post and scroll up on.
I agree with a founders title. "Black belt of the forum" kind of thing.

I second the vote for a darker background.
And I see you've already let FAQer in, so there goes that suggestion.

Is there a way to multi quote? I did it yesterday, but it was a manual process of quoting one person, copying the text, and going back to quote the second person and finally pasting the first person's quote.

I'm pretty sure that when you quote a quote it will do that automatically.

I think he means separating quotes so you can reply to specific posts separately like you can in Weekly.

You can ctrl-click each post your want a seperate quote for, or select "select post" from the gear icon in upper right of each post then click quote on final post you want.
