New Web Site & Forum
« on: June 04, 2010, 02:41:40 AM »
As you probably have noticed, the site looks a little different now. There's also tons of new content, especially in the Discography, Song Info Archive and Picture Archive. I hope you'll like it.
There's still some work to be done here and there, but I'm happy to offer this site now after spending hours and hours (and hours) coding the site and filling the database with info. Many thanks go out to Ivy for sorting through thousands of files and pictures and making this all possible.
This is the important stuff:
  • Please update/check your avatar, since it might have been lost in the conversion to the new forum. 
  • Check out the new rules/procedure for Download Access
  • There will be additional themes for the forum soon, including the "classic" red/white Below Empty skin that's been around for years
  • Some of the new features on the board are: karma points, spell checker, post preview, quick reply, polls, events calendar, etc.

Great work on this, Rik!  It was a pleasant surprise, and I love what you've done with the discography and the scaling images. Really great stuff here, man.

Great job, I like the idea of quick reply and calendar. I will wait for the classic theme (this one isn't bad but I liked previous one better :)

I kept getting the message last night that board was down for maintenance. Since I had no idea what was going on at the time, I must say the new site design and layout looks amazing. I love it. A very nice surprise.
I'm on an everlasting quest to become a great stand-up comedian.

Typical classy design by a classy web designer. 

Very nicely done Rik.  The whole site looks fantastic.

Great Design and Layout!  Plus I can finally use this amazing pic of Dean I captured at the St. Louis show last year for my avatar!  ;D

Only complaint is that there's not enough color.  A little red and yellow, ala the new album, wouldve looked cool.  Aside from that it looks real solid.

Lovely, R&I - looks great!!

Can we bring back Meltdown07's old Tiny Music skin from three boards ago!?  Haha.  That was still my favorite.
How could they not notice it?! Because it's a little mint.  It's a Junior Mint!

I havent gone by that name in a long time :)


I think Rik actually made the Tiny Music one.  I cant remember for sure though.


I definitely remember doing the 12BB and No.4 Skins.  Not positive about the Tiny Music one though.

If you don't like STP, then you're pretty much not American (from a MO message board)

I am digging the new sleek design. Great job Rikster!
 
I did have a question about the karma points. What is it for exactly?
 
 
Dedicated. Disgusting. Disturbing.

I'm just sittin' on this merry-go-round, and the music is too loud..
