So Tim and I have been away for quite some time...we've been kept busy with college and our lives, and the forum has been pretty neglected due to that. However, I hope that we can put the past behind us and move forward in an attempt to revitalize the forum the bring it back to life. To accomplish this, though, I'm going to need a lot of help, which is where I hope you guys come in. Here are a few positions that I feel need to be filled: - Forum Designer - one who will take over the look of the forum and give it a new look, fixing what's been messed up
- Survivor: The Hellmouth Host - one who will take over the forum's Survivor competition and help complete it
- BCA Host - one who will take over the BtVSFigs Custom Awards for 2006
If you'd be interested in any of these positions, feel free to PM or IM me at your convenience. I know Tim already talked about job openings, but if anyone else feels there's something needed, feel free to post it here. Here's to hoping we can bring this forum back to life! -CMK

I think having someone go into archiving stuff would be helpful. To prevent people from bringing up old topics, I think we should have someone move all the old topics into a locked section where viewing is possible, but not posting. That'll prevent newbies from bringing up old stuff and unintentionally annoying others. It might be cool to have specific sections for all the talk of older waves too. That would make it easier for people to find specific info on say the Willow wave, or whatever they're looking for. If you think this is a good idea, I definitely would volunteer for this project. I think it would be nice to make the older posts relevant for viewing.

So, two months later... How's the revitalizing going? I've been in talks with CowboyGuy, who has shown interest in coming over here to spruce things up a bit. Instead of merging, we were thinking of creating a brother/sister site relationship between us and SlayAlive, since most BtVSFigs members are SlayAlive members, too. I know it's been a long process, but hopefully major changes will happen soon enough. -CMK

Everything graphic will be addressed soon. I have much on my plate, but the board will have an upgrade in no time.
Most definitely within June. My goal is to have everything all set up before summer.

That's cool news, Phil. But make sure you fix the script better next time because if you make the design as narrow as at your forum it looks awful on 1280x1024 resolution: Personally it makes posts difficult to read and stresses the eyes – which is one of the reasons I rarely visit your forum. Just FYI.

I was testing something but it shrinks the whole thing, meaning it won't be used.

Oh, OK. Though I like that design...if only it wasn't narrow.

The only problem for me is that it's hard to create a layout that will cater to a high resolution. Coding wise. I tried and it made everything either really centered, or really stretched out.
It's not necessary to do anything, but I was asked by Chad to come up with something. I'm not going to do anything if it ends up in a squabble.
-The main logo has been fixed, as well as a few other things added here and there. I hope this makes the forum a little more enjoyable.

Now all we need is to have the main banner decided upon Why hasn't anyone taken care of that yet?

I think we were all happy with the banner design that Insanity came up with a few weeks ago.
