GFXVoid, Major Upgrade

nice update John!

whoa, thanks John, great work so far, keep goin man this site is gonna flourish now that it is being maintained have you thought about a donation option for users to donate directly to you?

a black skin would be nice, imho. :3

contest for custom skin would imo , get people involved and make gfxvoid look a little more eyecatching ( and a suggestion box :P )

I replied to your PM about skin designing. It's something we can look into as an option.

I just deleted a few of the spammers. Was the spam you saw just in the intros forum or in a bunch of forums throughout the site?

Regarding custom skins, we'll definitely look into customizing the colors, images, etc. I'm hesitant to customize any of the site coding, though. I've found in the past the custom skins with heavily modified coding often causes issues with future upgrades as well as mods.

You're welcome to you and everyone else who posted thanks in this thread. It was a long night working on it, but I think it will be absolutely worth it once everything else comes together.

I haven't really considered a donations option that will always be shown on the site. What I have thought about, though, is maybe using a chip-in style service to help raise funds for specific things or maybe even making premium subscriptions available for anyone who would like to help financially support the void that way. If paid subscriptions do ever become available the free access option will still remain available as well. Premium subscriptions would just include a few account perks for subscribers.

Thanks for the update. Can't wait to see the final product with the fixes. Great job and thanks. On a side note about that donations, an anonymous donation box or something like that would be good. Premium membership doesnt fit to the void's community at all imho.

I agree with wr about the donations. I think anonymous donations would be best, just for the sole factor that donors do not really play a role in this community. In my opinion, all this will lead to is people who think they are better than the normal member.

We've thrown this idea around for a little bit, were not sure if it will happen because there is a lot of coding involved and not just skin design. It is a good idea though for people who can do both

Maybe he means a suggestion box thread? We had one at one point. I could make one again I suppose, but is it really worth it?
