As of now I can say I have renew the forum's now design.
When we first came here I had the intention of not using too many graphics of such but I had to see how that goes. Seems like only I liked it as usual.
Now the new forum is more fun.
- If you posts you get to compete with other top posters. (sizzlefish, you're losing your magic lol)
- A glossy theme which gave the blue a nice appeal in overall. (The homepage is stretched but other than that you can expect the scrolling from the outside homepage...I'm still working on it to make it stretched like the homepage to not move at all)
- New Forum Description added.
On the Rules and FAQ, it didn't quite has Frequently Asked Questions as it was a Forum Category which I made into a Forums. So Why not fix this issue? I though. I had two options. One to take out the FAQ, or to include some FAQ. Enjoy! (Only US has this BTW)
- Old Forums which aren't used anymore gone. I had in mind of the Sub-Roleplay forum in the General Chat, but from the main site's forum, I still had vertain people who enjoys roleplaying. So here Im leaving it for one more year before I get rid of it.
The Annual News and Event is now part of the Recycle Bin category. Meaning when someone wishes Birthday after a year it gets clean up to there. Other events such as Holidays in the General chat will be moved to there as well.
- New Forum Categories and Subforums added.
It's been a war in the past and every year with the staff team, sending members warnings about sites they are advertising. It happens and it make members fear us here as the bad guy and since I always does the punishing, I always look like the main villain. I have provided you guys a place to post links, and since we are a growing and active community members will not chose them over us, but they will leave nice feedbacks to those that post their sites there. Additionally you can include sites such as the famous Dueling Network and other sites you think are helpful for publicity for those who haven't known them yet.
2nd, you can see a new forums made specifically in the duelist corner to advertise the main site itself for those who haven't known about it. (again its difficult to do and tricky and I was working on that part the first day I got here)
Last the Recycle Bin is able to be viewed but only Mods and Admins can enter to view topics there. It's sorta like a finish to the forums here. Like say when you did an essay you have a draft, then main essay and the final draft. Or when you finish the construction of something you have to polish it to make it nice. So this is the finish of the forums' End when you are scrolling down. (I am working on a picture to post it there, when it's finished I will have it on it to look more nicer)
Other than that cheers, and thanks for staying active here

If you guys are wondering why the BG is changed, I'm trying to change the forum's BG to match in overall.
I'm working on a glossy theme for BG. What I had in mind was to stretch it, so it wouldn't repeat that much. Glossy are catchy and sparkly. And the forum was done when we first moved here, back when it was like this....
But since I added the HTML Graph up there, it's been bugging on the type of frame I chose till I narrow down my choices to what I can use.
I haven't really visualize what the new look to be so I left it till today. As soon as this bug is fixed, I'll change it to how I imagined but right now the forum is acting on tested BG and frames.
