nice looks better now ^^

I hope this is successful. And don't forget adding anti spambot mods, because altough SMF has mass-delete tools, at least you won't get as many spambots as you would normally get with only the default anti-spam

wow that's a lot of movies. Oh well at least it's not hentai *cough*points to someone on IRC*cough*

I hope they were cool

Wow very nice and promising. One suggestion, tho: I would make the "marked as read" forum marker a bit more blue-ish rather than grayscale, else for some reasons, it doesn't seems to fit too well. Other than that great job so far. I kind of wish I could design stuff that good.

Also good decision of not using SMF 2.x yet *points out to what happened to TIMGUL in June*

Oh and make the text in the login box at the bottom of the page a lil darker because it's a bit hard to read.

I'd suggest you add the ability for people to indicate that they play both games. I'd suggest having a "getting started" topic pinned in the help section (possibly have a decent size link at the top of the main page to it) That explains YVD, and whatever program magic players are using these days to play online and some basic info about how to set them up.

Edit: Fixed. It was a lot harder than you'd think. The code for the text color there was also connected to a LOT of other areas. So when I turned it black, any text on the black background wasn't seeable. So, I had to change the color back in the templates for each one of those areas individually. Let's just say... I hope I'm not changing skins anytime soon, because I just messed with a lot of the code. (including a lot of other fixes I had to make earlier in the skinning process)

Ouch, that sucks. Fortunately, on this Omni board I never had such problem because I opted for a lighter background, but on the old board, back in 2005 we had a dark blue background and it was hectic to choose any text color. Changing text color of the background would change it almost everywhere else. Invisionfree was worse at doing that, though. Zetaboards even more.

I will send you a PM now because I have a question

Alrighty, currently I'm writing up all the starting topics. (Rules, Help, and so on...)
This will... take a hell of a lot of time.

Next, I need to scout for staff.
Examiner
I need at least one for each game. (My co-admin and I are also qualified as examiners for both. So we'll have a total of 4 to start.)
They need to have up-to-date knowledge of each game, the ability to evaluate a players skill in several areas, and ability to give lessons to others. This includes one-on-one teaching and the writing of lessons in topics.

Moderators (2 spots available to start)
They will just manage the forums. You know, typical law enforcers of the forum. Uphold the rules and such. Open to anyone here that wants the position is welcome to sign-up. (You're not guaranteed the job though. I'll gather a list and pick who I believe are the most qualified. The rest will remain on the list until more mods are needed or replacements are needed. The list will be added to as my co-admin and I see fit.)

This will total to 8 staff. Two Admins, two Mods, and two Examiners.

Due to the harsh requirements, this may take a bit. There's also a few other forces that will slow down the official opening of the site regardless of how finished it is. These forces are completely out of my control so we'll just have to wait it out. However, I may still open it for registration early anyway. We'll see how things go.

Haha, nice!
Who'd you play or where'd you find your opponent? =P
