Not including myself, Night 1 registration was 25 users. Nice! We do have a chatbox down at the bottom of the forum btw. I tried a shoutbox but it didn't autorefresh so I went with something else.
Well, I've just registered and adjusted my settings to how I usually have them. Suppose I'll stay as "Maou" even though my usual title of "Dark Lord" is actually usable there, since that's what you guys know me as... Think I'll hold off on posting there until you guys get the look finalized, though. It's a bit too ghetto for me as it is right now. ^_^;; Aside from that, my only real suggestion is to increase the allowed filesize for avatars. The picture I use on every other board I'm on at that resolution is at about 46kb, and it's over twenty even at its smallest size. :/ ...and now back to resisting the urge to get stupid with this idea for a custom that won't get out of my head... テッカマン型MMS…そんな馬鹿な。
Oh, that reminds me: I am so totally for bigger avatars and sigs. I mean, most everyone has high speed Internet in this day and age.
Okay, up to 50k avatar size, it's 150x150, any more and it starts stretching things. As for sigs, 800width would have to end up being the maximum as bigger might stretch off screen for some of the resolutions I've seen people running at. 800x600 resolution isn't so common anymore, but 1024x768 still is. Now for height... what do you guys want? Do we really want to see an 800x600 sig everytime someone posts? that's a lot of scrolling.
Okay guys, almost everything on there is defaults, so if you think something should be changed, just ask. Attachment size per post has been removed, but you still have a max of 50meg per user.
Hummm...since all our Shinki discussion needs seems to have been taken care of in the awesome new forum, I wonder then, under what circumstances would we need to post anything in this thread at all? (Besides to remind folks of its existence)
Why, to "show off our Busou Shinkis", of course. I see it going back to being primarily a picture-post thing like the "cool stuff" thread.
oh crap! i just registered a few days ago (for the photocomics and stuff) and most of u are already movin in to a new forum??? dammit! anyway i registered there too so... i'll keep watching you XD
Haha..I know I'll still return for the comics..they are insanely funny..I have just recently got to lurk around Dilla's and PuppyLove's tho
i see... *checking photocomics IE favs.... 16 total* anyway im collecting those comics so i can read them off line but i hope that maybe (just maybe) i will see more of those in the new forum... because well... thats the only thing i can collect right now... no money for toys T_T
Okay, here's my current progress on the Shinki forum. If you want a current view to compare, please visit BusouShinkiWorld.com as my updates are not finished and have not been made live yet.
I'd like to sugest to not go too big with avatar and sigs. It really hurt the look of a forum when you have to search for the reply among load of big pics everywhere. I personnaly prefer smaller avatar and sig, I don't want to see wallpaper sized sig for every post I can't see me going beyond 500x200 max for a sig, especially since some people combine sig and text to make things bigger.
