We would like your opinion.

[firefly]

Hey guys and gals of namepros.

Myself and another member (he can out himself if he wants) have been busting our asses on a new project and we would like some feedback from you guys.

We have started a forum that is simply a general discussion forum, inspired in part by DU's shot the sh.. thread.

What we are not asking you to do:

We are not asking you to leave Namepros. This place is special to most of us and has given us so much in the way of knowledge. I owe this place a great debt for all that I learned here. One of the things I learned was to try new things and get good feedback on what you have done, much like the post your developed site thread in parking and monetization.

Nampros also serves a particular purpose (i.e. domaining and domain knowledge) which we in no way are trying to compete with. It is simply intended as a fun forum where people can be a little freer in their discussions.

Once again - we don't want you to leave NP - we won't. We want your constructive criticism, feedback on issues such as layout, directions you think may work and numerous other things.

If you feel the need to join, all well and good but remember where you came from.

This is the forum:
http://www.shoottheshitforum.com/index.php

And this thread has been set specifically so even those who are not interested in a new forum can leave a comment that may help us out:

I hope you guys take this in the right spirit and give us the benefit of your knowlegde. I know in my case, you have many times before. Thanks.

Yeah, sort of kicking that idea around already... those cosmetic things are pretty obvious. Just a matter of playing around. Have to change the favicon as well.

Yea finding the right template can be fun and a pain.
MYBB has a really helpful forum if you need any help but I am sure you knew about that already.

Good luck and thanks for the rep :tu:

Actually it's surprisingly clean in there at the moment. You should check it out before throwing vile accusations

Needs a lot of loving and a lot of people to provide some input.

Did you leave any helpful comments, suggestions or ideas?

Interesting that there are a whole lot of domainers and developers on this board and only a couple of them are willing to offer anything. It's obvious that Namepros has lost something over the years.

When I first started here people were exceptionally willing to look things over and give their 2 cents worth, all in the name of the community. No wonder I don't come here much anymore.

I like the theme. I think that the avatars of cowboys is cool.

I think the brown goes with the name but is positive because it doesn't actually contain any references to real "shit". Love the logo.

It's not a bad looking site, imho

Just my opinion...color/colour seem to fit the theme. Only thing that I would do different (speaking from limited Admin forum experience) is maybe use a "crackled brown leather" look
(along these lines)

That might be worth looking into. :loveyou:

 

[DU]

I'm going to bump this mofo every day until we get additional feedback... lol.

Still messing around with leather...

We really don't care if you post there or not.. we're just looking for feedback... feedback along the lines of "it's shit" is valid whether meant figuratively as a compliment or literally as a condemnation.

I like that idea as well. Looks like DU is already on to it.

If it fits like you think it will briguy, it will look awesome (if we can manage to implement it...lol).

Thanks....I always did associate the brown leather with Cowboys (saddles, boots, gun holsters etc)

i think you should change grey colors with light brown ? so it looks more like old cowboys theme.. *just my 2 cents*

It's in the works. I've just posted current state to the guys to see if they approve.. it's mostly sand colored with some brown leather.

We'll see.

Thanks for the input.
