so I want to take over tercel4wd.com and the forums

Post by Neu »

I messaged ice about this two days ago, no response.

(Crossed out means I already did it)

here's a list of the things that i want to do if i got it.

1. switch forums to a newer version, and fix the errors I get.
2. transfer the how to articles to the website, making it easier to find the older ones.
3. clean up the membership, there's a lot of old members that dont/have never posted. These swell up the database resulting in slower times for the forums (not a huge problem)
4. new looks maybe? same logo, but difference colors.
5. new website, not flash.
6. Fast, fast server.
7. spam enhancements, and general forum upgrades (everyone would have a gallery for their car, in their profile, etc)

moderators would probably be left the same, that wouldn't change.

so we talked, he wanted to know my username, I'm hoping it goes through, cuz I have great ideas for the forums, and the time to put into the forums/site. I just added the account for the forums on my server.

I'm crossing my fingers.

A legend to indicate what is what as far as "Topic you've posted in", "New Topic", "Topic you've read", etc would be handy. I'm not familiar with this particular PHP style. I'm used to seeing the yellow and grey check box with a hole in it.

There's a nice link that says "View new posts" and you just click on it and it shows you all the posts that people have made since you were last here. Pretty cool
