    These hallowed Forums may exist for years to come or just until Xbox.com gets things sorted, either way now it's time to get your voice in and say what you'd like to see or be done with these here Forums. Cool

    I reserve the right to turn any of you into a frog if I don't like the idea. Specially you Lavender. Laughing

    Well, the quick reply is a nice touch. Was that here earlier?

    Anyway, a lighter background is definately needed, as my purpleboldness is here to stay. And so everyone can see my purpleboldness, it has to be a tadge lighter.

    And also in the reply box, need it to be drag and drop editing instead of BB code. Seeing /color really annoys me.

    Thats it for now.

    Oh, and everytime my purpleboldness is quoted it goes 10x darker and is impossible to read.

    Oh, and in all honesty, probably a name change is required if you want it to be big and busy.

    People will never flock and stay on an "independent" website forum, and by that I mean such as Wolfs Xbox Forum, or Bobs Xbox Forum etc. If you get my point.

    Yes it is your forum and regardless of the name some will come, just saying if you want it to "take off" you'l have to switch to a generic kind of name that sounds a bit more professional.

    Save that until he buys a domain. Of which there's no point until he gets a steady increase in site traffic (although something more snazzy can be thought up for the genral name displayed on the banner).

    It's kind of a two sided coin but I think this is the better option, at least for now.

    Perhaps if the site gets going well enough setup a paypal account for donations or even a subscription system. Other sites have done stuff like this and have done well. It depends on how it's managed and what is on offer.

    Needless to say this will require alot of hard work and effort from not only staff but also its members. This will also need at some point some good outside contacts in the gaming industry depending on how far you wish to take it (Doing reviews perhaps? Setting up competitions?).

    Many things to consider yet it's still early days so best to not run before we can walk eh?

    I did consider getting full forums, as opposed to these very basic and free-forums but that costs money and though I'd love to do it for you lot I just can't afford that! In the future if we get enough people then I'll consider it.

    As for contact I have plenty, but that's for games publishers. I've ran competitions before through my site so I'll see about getting another set-up and running it through here as well.

    Integrate the reviews off your site onto the homepage here also?

    Also, the background still needs to be lighter. Your name doesn't show up Wolf, nor does my text.

    Looks great though!

    A domain name can be as little as 5 quid a year and decent PHP hosting (with PHPbb free) for 15 quid a year.

    I have two suggestions to make this place better than the OXF. Simply put the two things missing from the OXF on here:

    1 benj4m as a mod
    2 Nekkid weemin

    Well I'm a bit miffed, I really like this new look but it won't let me make the background for posts etc. a lighter damn color! *rage* I'm gonna have to stop tinkering and get writing soon anyway.

    Can you not customise the layout properly? You need your own PHP webspace with PHPbb (which I happen to have) you could totally build your own layout. Hand code it yourself.

    No way, I'd make an awesome mod. If I was on the OXF, and the decision was to close the general chit chat shit and people kicked off, I wouldn't be hiding behind my screen in silence. I'd be dishing out some awesome mod-l33t flaming with my flaming skillz.

    Fear me, for I am l33t.

    Can I also suggest making peoples usernames that appear on a post as "white" instead of black?

    Ignore this if you are changing BG colour.
