Before creating this thread I wanted to run it by Shadowpaw first (don't wanna get ahead of ourselves, you know). His response:The Change Team wrote:It is pretty obvious that our default board style is really OLD and very outdated. I've been wanting to give it a face-lift for quite some time now, and I figured this might be the perfect time to get the wheels turning in giving it an update. (When I say 'update' I do not mean we'll be changing the existing style, but only using it as a base to create a new one. We would never want to do away with something that is so much a part of the ToO. Plus, we would like it to still be available for those who prefer using it. =] )
This is NOT a set-in-stone deal. It will all depend on if we get the okay (from you, and the higher ups) to do it, AND if we can get the people needed to actually make it happen. This project may even go beyond our term as well. That said, we cannot promise anything, however, we are very interested in making this a reality.
My idea was to truly make this a Town project. This is your board, and you, the people who make this place, should be involved in every part of something that will represent the ToO as a whole. I want to involve the whole ToO community, by allowing anyone and everyone to offer their ideas, opinions and abilities. So we'll be encouraging any comments and/or concept ideas you have to offer. =]
So everything is a go with him. We now just need your opinions and thoughts on the whole topic. Below are some questions that we'd like your input on. They can be answered now or later...or none at all, however we encourage that you please, at least, answer the first question.[color=#BF0000][b]Shadowpaw[/b][/color] wrote:I'd be totally fine with that, snubs!
