Well ye I could make to plant the idea of a refresh, of the Forums, in Ronnel's mind so here we go :)
We search for the best SMF 2.0 Theme! Yes you heard right, get together in teams or play alone. Make up
ideas customize a existing or make a total own template for the Argonath RPG Forums! Be aware that this
Forums are still related to the Grand Theft Auto games mainly!
So here the few restrictions you need to follow:
- Template main color should be obviously BLUE! :D It's Argonaths color!
- You should be aware that we search for a Modern, Fresh and Amazing template which brings our currentl 2008 forum to 2011 and therefore to a new chapter of Argonath RPG!
- Be aware to link all quoted you took! URLs, Pictures and so on - We need to make sure that you used legal sources!
- Make sure that Advertisements and Banners that Forum displays by default fits in nicely!!
- You might consider using High Definitions (Auto Sized)
- Recommended: 22nd July 2011 | Deadline: 26th July 2011
Prize
- Ofcouse your Template will be used on Forums if it wins!
Copyright....

So let's go and good luck! In case of questions please ask me via PM,
I won't help you in questions of the design since it is up to you!
Good luck your,
Argonath RPG Leadership!

Good question!
Gonna set it to 22th July!

Good idea. I just hope the new theme will retain the same "feel"
I guess there's no chance of getting the current theme files for editing purposes?

Well as mentioned in the limitations to win... the basics should stay the spirit of Argonath should still be visible, but it should definitely be more modern instead of old. Sometimes its time for something new then you need to say good bye to old, but loosing the spirit is not supposed to happen and would take a very bad end! :D Ofcause Owners will Judge what Layout will fit together with Leaders and Web Developers and maybe even some chosen people who are related to the Development of Projects and Argonath

The deadline is way to short. In my opinion, it should be extended. ;)
-
Tai, we should replace the banner also.

Meant are the ADVERTISMENT BANNERS and ADVERTISMENTS AT ALL! :D Not the Banner on top or smth... the rest is up to you guys ;)
-
The banner would have to be specific to the theme's design anyway since different themes have different banners in different sizes.
-

I understand that, but what I meant is that the banner should be changed/ redesigned to go along with the new theme.
As SugarD said, it would have to be needed, anyway.

For those who wish to have the current header&logo, incase of editing or redesigning it or similar one;

Thats a question of designing, so it is the problem of the guy who wants to win and his problem to find a solution! :D
-
Anyone willing to team up?
I can make pretty good designs, but I kinda suck at the scripting part.
-
*saves all his topics in notepad* :D
-
as impartial person I am really interested on your ideas and thoughts! If ya already have made up ideas and got like Screenshots already of what you are planning PM me! I am really interested :D
-
Just stop using SMF, lol.
vBulletin is way better or PHP-BB.
But on topic, It would be good if people design new ones instead of taking ones from websites.
-

1. No.
2. No. It costs money.
3. PHPBB3* ;)

Since that version I stopped making layouts for PHP BB .... it went pretty worse coding and was too complex for my early stage of scripting knowledge :P
OH BTW CHECK FIRST POST!

Well different was just, making custom layouts for PHP BB2 was much easier you could easily embed it into your Website Layout :P

That's because the code was so basic ;)
Remember guys, the new forum theme should also match the main website one! :)

with a good attitude; and excellent understanding/knowledge of PHP, CSS, Etc. and a beer any thing is possible :P
-
I am quite interested how the new layout will look alike, excited to the tops :D
-
So the deadline is today right? Or was it yesterday evening 24:00 ? Anyways, I'm gonna send my lay-out in today
-
Whats happening with this?
-
Yeah for some reason this topic became inactive but it was quite a good idea!
-
I think Tai is away from Argo right now, or at least that's what I last heard, so I think that's why nothing has been announced yet either way.
-
I assume the layout was supposed to be used on Independence Day... which already passed weeks ago.
-
Well the overall topic was to put it up that day and have it replace the current theme. The current one is based on SMF1, but the forum software is SMF2, so they figured it'd be time to replace it with something more modern.

If we're still based on SMF1 which it does look like it since it's just a plain old blue, we need a upgrade.

Ya. It was a custom-made SMF1 theme that they converted for SMF2 when they upgraded. Unfortunately though, it's still SMF1-style.
-
Maybe we could send our themes to someone else?
-
Bump.
I liked to see something happen with this.
-
Ah well, I'll just post my design since this is going nowhere ..

Smey, if you are still reading it. It would be a good idea if you contact one of the owners about the contest, cause it never have been finished and I think it's a good time to "refresh" the theme of the forums to something new :)
-
Is this for 2012 instead of last year? :shy:

Considering the theme of Smey is not live yet, thought I'd present my work which can be done towards the main forums of Argonath.
Here is a theme which I've worked for the ARPD, however, I'm still working on the theme currently.
(http://i49.tinypic.com/2qj8t2q.png)
If people like it, i can start working on the theme and change the colours around together with the style.

That mid-top area needs definetly something, way too empty place
-
Yeah, as i said, I'll work on it sometime later in the days when I'm not busy.
-
Still prefer Smey's :roll:

Like i said, I'm not even near finishing the theme.. it's just a beta of what the ARPD forum looked like.
What i also said is that i can start progressing in changing styles, fonts, areas and such when necessary..
However, I'm waiting for the Webmaster's approval so i can start instead of wasting my time in nothing. :evil:

Sauron has mine. But no idea if they have the intention to use it or not

I prefer Smey's theme, epicness. :bow:

Not sure about Niko though :p

ÃŽâ„¢ndeed, the layout should have a blend of all Argonath affilated servers.

There are several issues with it, so we might do something different depending on if we can solve them.
-
Well if I can do anything, just let me know.

just use the black counter strike one that paruni (used to) have
