DOS Games Discussion

I don't realy know where this should go but I have a realy interestig question:

How do you think this site's gonna look like in... I don't know... say 10 years or so?

I hope Mods and Admins will answer too since "The future of this site is depending on you"

It'll probably look exactly the same I'd love to redo the site, but that would take like 40 hours just to copy all the game info into a database ... which is a bit more than I have time for at the moment

OH! well then we might just turn this post in
How would you LIKE this site to look like?

I'm gonna reedit this <again>:
Maybe this is a realy dumb question... well actualy it IS for sure but
"Why don't shut down the site for a few days(so you get more free time) and rebuild it( though not many people will like this)

emmzee why not recruit someone to help you?

I would be more than happy too over the next month

More user reviews.

No one but emmzee knows. I may be a mod, but I dont know (Neither does any mod, or even Dogbreath) know what emmzee is going to, or is doing.

That be cool is you redo the website

why not just take memorable topics and update the server or at least give skins and smilies well more at least

And since you already said that in the forums sugestions why not stop reviving old threads????

Problem with adding more skins at this point is that there have been several major mods/hacks added to the board which wouldn't work properly out of the box (or at all?) with other skins. It'd at least take a lot of effort to get 'em working, which I'm not prepared to spend the time on at this point.

Re smilies, that's a lot easier. Recommend some and I'll add 'em. (Try for example www.mysmilies.com ...) Note that they should keep to the current "theme", ie small, round, simple ...

well kazer0 was supposed to be making a DGF skin but he hasnt yet lol

We don't need any new smilies.

Maybe I'll work on a skin. =)

Just don't overdo it. I mean don't overmodernize it
As for smilies... Odd tried that site earlier but now the smilies wouldn't load... just the red x thingy

Smilies really aren't a legitimate form of communication.

The forums should stay the way they are; they look fine and function well. Trying to add extra skins would be, as emmzee said, a lot of work, also kinda pointless. This one looks fine... But if we do get any new ones... Any chance of a command line-esaqe skin?

Yeah! or unix or any other old, mostly-dead-and-buried fashioned OS

I like the way it is now, Its an old layout (compared to the newer ones) It fits with the whole dosgame theme.. thats what I think anways.. it don't really bother me i don't come here fot the way it looks, I come here to post

But you do know that you can CHOOSE the skin you want right julie?

Also how can one create PHBB forums skins? Cuz if there is a walktrugh or something like that on the web I'd like to know.

its all the same to me
