Project Ideas

[GbyP]

I'll start the ball rolling...

We used to be on phpBB forums software - difficult to customize... they cut off your hands if you told them. boo. In March I migrated the forums to MyBB software** - born to customize... they encourage it! Yay.

Since 2007 we have been picking forum styles created by other folk, folk not misfit squirrels... not even Squirrels!!! How can they understand our needs? How can anyone understand us?

My project proposal: create a unique Misfit Squirrel forums style.
There are many design elements which gives folk the option to tackle small critters like custom smilies or buttons, to large critters, like page design and post design. This will not be a quick undertaking, but it will be uniquely ours.

I've posted this idea a couple times and only wavion expressed an interest. Maybe he and I should tackle it... "Welcome to Serious Squirrels, where smiling is forbidden." Umm, I'm thinking a group approach is better.

This is just a proposal... you no likey, you no votey. I'll just be in the corner crying... really... its.. it is ok. Seriously. Now let's hear from the other squirrels. I know at least 2 other squirrels with ideas...

** in case you were wondering why some threads have GINORMOUS font... phpBB 3 used a different font sizing method than most other vendors - even from phpBB 2! Suffice to say, this 'translation' did not please me. As time passes, I'm trying to correct those threads traveled more often.
