Well, as long as we aren't using that infamous cowboy monkey pic...

I like cowboys. And monkeys.

Cowboys and monkeys would be cool. ;[

Btw, here's the banner Jawn/Nojiko whipped up real quick-like. I know he's capable of better, but I think this is at least better than the current one. ;[

I think I agree with whoever said that one might make people mistake us for a Turks yaoi site. ;x

But it could work!

Is this something that still needs doing? I notice that tGA is behind in a few upgrades. So to the currently active posters and admins: are there any current issues that would make an upgrade a higher priority, or is everything fine? Be aware that with every upgrade I do personally there is a decent likelihood of something exploding.

Well, this is more about the site in general than the forum but they're still related.

Perhaps it's time to update the news/staff/faq/etc? At least the theme anyways as the two don't entirely mesh that well, IMO. Not to mention have something more for the news as from that it looks like the place has been dead since 2005 xD.

Yeah, that probably wouldn't be a bad idea. Kossage, do you have FTP access? If not, I'll see what I can do about getting you set up with an account.

Nope, I don't have it.

As for the upgrades, I think it'd be better if we got them because they offer better security. I looked at the Admin CP and noticed that some templates need to be fixed, but I don't want to start messing around with either the upgrades or the templates, because I'm sure I'd blow up stuff more easily than you do.

I'll talk to Daniel. Can you list or PM me the specific problems with the templates that need fixing so I can point them out to him, as well?

The forum skin is also donkeyass ugly, but I doubt you've got the time to do something about that. :p

I always liked Yams's old layout. :(

And yeah, I've never done any of the layouts, because I suck at that sort of thing. If someone else wanted to make a layout, then any admin could upload it.

The website-based skin isn't too bad, either. Though it looks like some of it is now broken, probably from the many vB versions that have changed since it was made. I wouldn't know how to update it to make it conform to the new vB standards.
