New Forum Style option..?

Postby Masato » Mon Mar 09, 2015 7:07 pm

Hey all

What do you think of this? Better/not better?

I wish so much I could design my own custom forum style but unfortunately the host is a bit limited... most of them are really ugly and don't work well with my orange branding

However this design ain't too bad.

Also I kind of like the current design because it is peaceful and somewhat different from typical forums. This one looks cool but the contrast is a bit harder on the eyes. Also I don't like the way the names are displayed though (too small).

Let me know your opinions. So far I think I like the current design a bit better

Too harsh on the eyes...

Most of the style templates they have are UGLY!! I have offered to make them a new one for free but they didn't bite (yet) :)

Same sentiment. Hard on the eyes, looks unnatural and weird (in the lovecraft way)

OK done, that's enough for me

I like the current style too. Not what I would design for myself but it does feel different than other forums, its more relaxed somehow, and it goes well with my mask :D

This was the old (first) style. I miss the MMA photo-collage in the banner:

Red and Black are German colors.

If I had the option to fully customize, I would probably make something like this:

^ yeah that's why I need a hacker, lol

I wanna make that shit. FreeForums is good for lots of reasons but ultimately creatively limited. I am trying to convince them to just sell me the content and buy it out from them so I can move it somewhere where I have full control of it.

I think its kind of rude actually that they don't offer this... if someone builds a forum of any value/quality they should be able to grow it and have ownership of the content they built. A few others in the support forum are agreeing with me. It woudn't be hard to do, the mods say they used to offer it but something changed or whatever. I'm gonna keep twisting their arm but one day I'm gonna have to pull it 1 way or another :D
