vBulletin Board of the Month

[Chruser]

As you might have heard, every month, five boards are nominated for the vBulletin board competition, and a voting thread will be up for the license owners alone at vBulletin.com.

These are the nominated boards for the vBulletin board of the month competition (it starts the 1'st next month):

1. http://forums.total-anime.com/
2. http://www.todayshost.com/forum/
3. http://www.gamerslive.net/boards/
4. http://www.leetsome.com/vbb/index.php
5. http://www.zelaron.com/forums

Our competing theme will be Synthesis, so I could use a couple of quick suggestions from you guys before October.

[tacoX]

Well, you know all the shit I want, heh...

I just wanted to add that we are one of the only GOOD unique boards there... the rest are.... RAVIO.... if you know what the hell that means.

[Randuin]

hrmm... more interactive stuff... and when u move over something it changes... blah... you know? more animated

[Sum Yung Guy]

add icons to EVERY forum to make it uniform... right now its tacky

[Jamesadin]

Get that new portal up and going

[Randuin]

ya... looks wierd right now... the icons

[Jamesadin]

will they be taking in all the extras we have, like the radio, etc. Or just the forum itself?

[Xenn]

Gamerslive is decent, so is leetsome, but todayshost and totalanime just plain suck.

Oh and my opinion for us.. PUT THE SUBFORUMS BACK AS SUBFORUMS! It looks so much tidier, plus you don't have that ICON/NO ICON/NO ICON/ICON/NO ICON/NO ICON.. etc stuff going on.

[tacoX]

I agree with xenn wit the subforum idea...

but leetsome is just plaine ugly

[Wiccan][V][asta]

I think they're all very well put together.. to win we need to find a nice image for all forums, reenact sub forums, and possibly do some cool postbit shit like you were showing me Chruser... *was I not supposed to mention that? O_O *

[Jamesadin]

What he said...

[Wiccan][V][asta]

I honestly think the other ones don't stand a chance. Not only do we have a kickass scheme, but we have a really tight postbit feature implimented... Chruser is also making some changes soon because of input from me. lol So, well see how it turns out.

[NonGayMan]

Most of them don't even have 1,000 posts!

[Wiccan][V][asta]

Right, not only is Zelaron active, but Synthesis looks tight. :)

I think we should totally remove those images next to the forum names though...

[Strider Fury]

WOW. congrats chruser.

[Xenn]

Is there a PRIZE invovled??? :D :noid:

[Sum Yung Guy]

1 Million Dollars for the winner. *

[Randuin]

ya those icons are t3h gh3y

[Wiccan][V][asta]

Agreed... I think the prize is you get free hosting for a month or something... I can't remember though... Chruser told me awhile ago.

[Bezier]

Leetsome.com didn't send me an email notice when it said it did. Fuckers.

[Wiccan][V][asta]

lol they lie, take them off the list.

[Bezier]

Nevermind...they sent me it after many hours. I don't recommend them.

[DKWicked]

is it just me or.....when you use the scrollbar on the right by clicking on the back part, ie not the slider itself......it turns an ugly brownish.....is it supposed to do that? cause it doesnt seem to fit with the rest of the theme

[Wiccan][V][asta]

You're right. It turns a light shit brown color... :-/

[DKWicked]

I went and looked, alot of the themes have weird colors there

[Jamesadin]

Yeah, if you can change that, please do! It doesnt look well with the rest of the page

[Raziel]

Finishing up the icons next to the forum titles is the only thing I can think of.

[WetWired]

Perhaps someone can come up with the missing icons? The sizes are 40x40 and 80x80. We need them for:
General Mayhem
Radio Zelaron
Hosted

Also an 80x80 for search results would be nice.

Whoever makes the radio icon try not to use an OLD radio cause for some reason im picturing that old brown 1970's radio *shudders*

[Jamesadin]

Umm...

General Mayhem- Maybe a checkmark or some thing on fire. That would work I guess

Radio- A radio, or a music note

Hosted- A house or something.

[Wiccan][V][asta]

How about we get rid of the ugly little things alltogether? :)

[WetWired]

How 'bout you shut your yap?

[Jamesadin]

Hey, lets always be open for suggestions. I know you worked on those Wetwired, but try not to get offended

[Wiccan][V][asta]

Try being more open minded... I understand how much work you've put into it, but... gah.

Ahem.... :(

[WetWired]

Actually, SYG produced most of the pics. I just spent all the time making the hack to support them.

I know you helped too SYG. I was in the IRC room when they first went up and we discussed it all.

[Randuin]

they should remove it... at least for the board of the month thing... or at least make them blend better with synth

More like.... +50 people on at all times

[Jamesadin]

Ok Dr. Gay.

*Check Taco's title*

[Randuin]

okay just noticed... in synth... if someone has no ava... there is jsut a hole where the ava is supposed to be... that kinda bugz me... since i'm reading the posts and i jsut glance at the ava always... and suddenly there a big hole... just doesn't feel right... may be fill it up with grey or something when someone don't have an ava? or a cool design? or SOMETHING? :D

[Strider Fury]

didnt it used to be 'no avatar selected'? wonder whatever happen to that.

[Randuin]

ya... now it's just a big hole

[DKWicked]

looks like a grid, really

[Jamesadin]

Oh well, Most people have a avatar anyways

[WetWired]

It's not just a hole. It's a frame with a grid. If you have a tranparent or small avatar, it appears over the grid.

[Randuin]

when i look far away... it's just a hole... may be my resolution is too high... heh

[Jamesadin]

No its a grid...

[Chruser]

The voting is up!
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56022

[BlueCube]

Hmm.. I registered, but it seems I can't vote.

[Jamesadin]

We are tied for first with www.gamerslive.net

[RoboticSilence]

When there's no avatar... add a default avatar that is like: "I SUCK"

[Jamesadin]

NOOO! Gamers live is winning!

[RoboticSilence]

It seems only people who have paid for and use vBulletin can vote.

[Jamesadin]

Yeah, well I guess thats what keeps the hundreds of users that are on the competing forums from voting one sidedly

It is a very close race: Gamerslive -7
Zelaron-7
Totalanime-5

[BlueCube]

That's the way it seems. I guess that WOULD keep people from registering, voting, registering under a different name, voting again, etc..

[Sum Yung Guy]

If you guys trully appreciated Zelaron, then you would go out and buy a vBulletin lincense so you can vote.

[Xenn]

I never bought a license and I was able to make an acct and vote...

Woo we're winning 8-7

[WetWired]

That must be because you hold the name of one of the 3 admins registered for Zelaron, Xenn. That also means that you can access code hacks on vB.org assuming you have an account there, for whatever it is worth.
Indeed, you have to own a vB license and fill in your username in a special form, or just be someone with their name filled in there (3 names per license) in order to vote.

[Jamesadin]

When does the vote close?

[Chruser]

The voting ends next month. :O(

[Hades-Knight]

i registered but cant vote

[Chruser]

I'm sorry, you can't vote unless a license holder will allow you to. Each account can only have three users on their list, and we've already consumed all of those votes.

[Xenn]

AND WE'RE TIED 9-9 WE NEED ANOTHER VOTE!

[Jamesadin]

We need to start a big lead. If it ends at the ned of the month there is a long way to go

[Xenn]

Nuts its 10-9 now.

[Jamesadin]

Dont worry about it, a month left.

[Wiccan][V][asta]

shitzor! Let's get some useres to vote for us! :D

[Jamesadin]

Heh, lets bribe them!

JK

[Wiccan][V][asta]

lol right, offer them sup. modship on our forums, and then when they vote, we mod them, and once it's over, we demod and ban their ip. :D

[Jamesadin]

MUAHAHA! :grin:

[Strider Fury]

http://www.plauder-smilies.de/happy/invasion.gif

[Jamesadin]

Whoa!

[Strider Fury]

its an invasion!

[Jamesadin]

Soo many smilies

[Strider Fury]

59 smilies!

[I)ark_Phoenix]

hmmm.... 12-11... that good or bad? How much longer do we have?

[Jamesadin]

Until the end of the month.

[I)ark_Phoenix]

so the end of October? Then I think we still got time. Is there any prizes for second place? hehe

[Chruser]

Actually, the winner just gets to be a Board of The Month at vbulletin.com, which should bring in some new members. :)

[Jamesadin]

Thats pretty nice, but I bet we are getting extra members just from being nominated.

EDIT: All the Admins make sure you put in your vote, that may be the winning vote for all we know. :)

[Chruser]

We have used our votes very well already. I guess it's up to other people now.

[Randuin]

how can we persuade them?

[Wiccan][V][asta]

Free doughnuts!

[Jamesadin]

Just like all the mods are getting

[Strider Fury]

*Shhhh...

[Wiccan][V][asta]

Don't tell anyone! o_O Otherwise EVERY member will want one! *mean glance over at Jamesadin*

:D

Also, were still in 2nd place... -_-

[Jamesadin]

Comon...everyone knows I was joking...right...yes, I was joking...

*thumbs up at wiccan*

[WetWired]

One of the rules is no vote drives. Basiclly, we can tell people we are nominated, but we arn't supposed to ask/bribe them to vote for us.

P.S. How much is a vB license again?:p

[Chruser]

$85 for a leased license (lasts for a year), or $160 for a permanent license. By the way, we're tied with 12-12 right now. The closest runner-up is at 10 votes, and only ONE vote has been made today, which ended up on us.

The voting inactivity is a good thing, I guess.

[Jamesadin]

Uhoh, were getting waxed.

17-12

No looking good, but well have a second chance.


ps. Gamerslive sucks knob
