New Styles for Forums?
Dear Boys and Girls,
I have just aquired FTP access to the Pirate server and as such am now in a position to upload new skins etc etc.
However most of the free ones are fairly crap. However with your financial help we could in theory get a few decent looking ones together. They seem to be around 20-25 dollars a pop from those 'template' sites.
I promise not to steal your money (not all of it anyway) and will infact use it to improve the forums. Think of it as the community helping itself.
Obviously if you donate 25 dollars because youve seen a style you want then tell me and ill pay for it and download it / install it (after money has been recieved in paypal account)
PAYPAL ACCOUNT IS :
[email protected]
GO GO GADGET MONEY!

Re: New Styles for Forums?
OH just as a small point. If we dont get enough cash together i presume i can just paypal the money back to you.
If i cant, im keeping it and using it to buy myself a one way ticket to mexico.

Re: New Styles for Forums?
I bet Jolt take our money, implement the style sheets, then reduce the time the forums are up by two-thirds so we have to divvy up more cash in order to get the forums up again.
Or something.

Re: New Styles for Forums?
I was really going to spend $30 on a new template, but then I found like the same sites over and over, for maybe a total of 4 sites with any decent styles and they all had about 3-8 styles each which really means that there aren't that many styles out there that are worth a damn.
http://www.extremepixels.com
http://www.vbstyles.com
http://www.vbmechanic.com/
http://www.transversestyles.com/
This site had a list of some sites with vb styles (but they either don't work or are the same as I listed):
http://forum.yaxay.com/showthread.php?t=38702
I'm pretty disappointed with what I found. I suggest that we create a customized skin:
http://www.sleekskins.com/index.php?id=services
Despite everything, I'm going to donate some money anyways. Hopefully for a custom skin made just for this forum that doesn't suck. (I like jet black, red, gold as colors myself).

This thread lacks a link to a skin.
If we had a proposed skin some people may be willing to help JammyJim buy it.

Re: New Styles for Forums?
Currently it would seem i cannot actually install the skins because XML is not enabled on the PHP for this server. Ive already requested it from jolt. We shall see what happens.

Your skills are weak - I've had Christmas on for at least 7 months now.

Maybe you could get a skin with a dolphin flying through the air and "Spirit of GD" written underneath JJ.
OR NOT

If someone could fix the following javascript error:
Line: 18
Char: 1
Error: 'threadedmode' is undefined
code:0
URL: anything pirate/etc..
From appearing I might consider contribution - A working forum is a happy forum.

I think it's ****ing retarded to pay for forum skins. We have a bunch and they're working just fine.
Come on, elsewhere, children are starving to death.

Re: New Styles for Forums?
Flayer when you donate every penny you have to charity and instead of buying frivilous things like beer and cheap prostitutes i will take your 'starving people' arguement seriously.
(actually i wont. ill just call you a no good tree hugging hippy)
