Description:
FeXBoards is a web designers community where users can submit their work and have it reviewed and critiqued by other designers. Graphics battles are started all the time where one user battles another to see who has better graphical skills. We also have coding forums, general help forums and a general community section; chat, introductions and so on.

FeXBoards has been around since 2002 however it went offline in December 2003. It's now been brought back in May of 2005 and already there's a huge surge of re-activity from old members and new members are signing up all the time. With little work, that's already in the planning; articles, tutorials, store etc this could turn into a lucrative and highly active community in no time whatsoever.

[Chris Gwynne]

The forums re-opened on May 1st. Existing past members came back as well as new ones. Therefore the surge.

No traffic has been paid for.

 

[cloakerz]

Why were they shut down in the first place was there a change of ownership or something then?

 

[Chris Gwynne]

It was shutdown in late 2002 because the owner had little interest in it. I took over the forums in April of this year.

 

[bafoon]

This comes with vb license?

 

[Chris Gwynne]

If you want. vB license is leased, and valid till January of next year if memory serves me correct.

 

[Chris Gwynne]

No longer for sale, thanks to those interested.
