(that's hear) Oh yeah, another thing that reminded me of this forum was the fact that I'm currently managing a private proboards... and seeing as this is proboards....(Which reminds me...)
There are actually two suggestions I have for the site, #1 is just a suggestion, #2 however is something I think you should do ASAP.
1. Currently this site gives of the image of... proboards, and that doesn't feel particularly advance war-ish, so you could change up the colours slightly(Not recommended) or put up a tiled background, with say, four or so units on it.(Recommended)
2. Change 'Member Ranks', because, quite frankly, 'New member', 'Junior member', 'Full member' etc. don't actually sound advance war-ish at all... and it's kind of weird...>.>

Advice is pretty good, I created a new skin. Blatantly not quite awesome yet, but at least it's less bland than the default one. On a completely unrelated note, have a happy birthday Xenav.

Nice. I like the skin so far.(Better than I could do, I'm lousy with visual aesthetics. XD) Oh, and HB Wherever you are, Xenav.

Cool, I can't say the new skin is epic(yet), but It's definitely an improvement on the original... though I'm still trying to figure out what's tiled in the background...>.> Also, when Jonathon is next active, he could change the 'Moderators' member group to something a little more advance war-ish, but that's not half as important as changing the other ones was... (Yay, I is now an officer.

(Yay, I is now an officer. I made the skin at 2 am, don't ask too much Then, I think I can change the grades by myself, so I'm going to try and see what I can do.

About the moderator grades, I failed at changing. And, Shadow, how did you add that 'Deadly Darkness' thingy? Me likes.
Me did this. Me also messed a bit with the ranks. Enjoy!

Cool, green stars are nice. Also, I said 'next time Jonathon is on' because only the admin can fool around with the user groups... unfortunately....:\

Yeah the collard stars are a nice touch. I was just thinking that maybe we could colour code the stars for the members of the factions (Green for jade sun, Blue for Colbert ice ext). But then I realised that might not be possible.

That isn't possible unless Jonathan decides to move and creates groups for this purpose. And yellow for Brown Desert and red for Pink Cosmos aren't 100% appropriate, sadly.

That’s fine I was just wondering is all.

Maybe it'd be fine to cleanse a bit the inactive users, wouldn't it? There are a bit too many of them.

Well... I was inactive until a few days ago, so as far as that goes, you could remove inactive people who have done just about nothing (I.E. 1-4 posts), and it wouldn't be hard for them to re-make their post count. but for people like, say, Sanchez, it'd be kind of hard to quickly make back up the post count he has...
So what I'm saying is: People who we shouldn't 'cleanse': Definitely people who have made it 'CO' or above Maybe some of the people with 10+ posts.
People we should 'clease': Definitely anybody with 0 posts, no quarter given. probably the people with 5- votes. maybe the rest of the 'cadets'.
Also, on the stars thing, you can change the stars appearance, all you need to do is create a new star of a new colour and change the stars in the 'skins/images' section for all the skins. (Sadly the idea does crash though... because general ranking by post-count doesn't affect member groups, so you'd only be able to have one Name(say Pink Cosmos CO) for a person in that position...)

CO Rank implies 40 posts. That's not really much, but meh. Proceeding to eliminate the low posters. 10 accounts eliminated: more will be done perhaps, but the worst are done for.
