Did you ever notice that the more you talk, the more stars you lose? 
Touche!

My God! 
You are right. My post count has gone up, but I've lost stars AND badges. Do you think i've just been making an ass out of myself this whole time?
Nah!
Woo, glad I thought about that.
Since this is the "Comments and Suggestions" Board, I figured Id post this "comment":
Whats the deal with the front page? Its too efficient. (Hear me out). When a site is designed like that it makes it look professional and completly organized. Thats bullsh##. This site is turning more and more into neowin every day. Pretty soon, no one will ever have to use the forums, and it will be burried under 12 links. Yukk. This site really is all about the forums (now that the downloads are gone), so we should make people use that to get most of the info.
Maybe some color differences to break it up
i think the color differences would do a world of difference its hard to find things, also the report button still looks out of place.

[trading spaces]Ooo! And maybe we could go with a sweeping Victorian tapestry, along with some corinthian moulding! [/trading spaces]

more like neowin? please, if you dont like it dont visit it, hell the site is based off the forums so just browse them they are fine, they arnt skinned yet and it doesnt look busy, your just so used to the simple and empty content. <_<
I thought you left? <_<
OK, so its just me. I can accept that. There's such a thing as "too much content". But if you want to sink to a Neowin leve, be my guest.

dont see why you keep comparing this to neowin, but since you do I take it as a complement,
I removed the forum stats on the main page makes the left side look much cleaner i think. so just be happy with that.
and I left big deal I'm back you miss me ? :naughty:
Fine, i'll stop whining, ive got more important things to complain about anyway. :baby:
Nah, I didn't miss you, Godpunk has been filling the void.

I guess we be putting "ADS! and BANNERS!" there...
Great Job on the board skin Goku!! Personally I think it is the best board skin Aqua-Soft has ever had.
All the images are perfect, and look very well put together. The only image that sticks out and is a little off from the overall style is the report button. But other that it rocks!! (Y)
I also really like the new main page Timan! It's very advanced and usefull. I think all it need now is some color, maybe it would look better have the all the news posts sequence from blue to white, like the attached image. 
Anyways, this site never looked better!! Thanks everyone who helped work on it! And also the Mods and Admins who kicked out most of the baddies.
GREAT WORK :own:

Edit// I just realised I lost my developer badge. Yikes I only had 1 star :woot:. Badges and stars don't really matter anyways, so I doen't really care.
its soothing to know there are people liking it 
even timmie hates my work :cry:
beric you'll be back to a developer status you have my word on it. I'll bring back everyone who was worthy.
@theunknown, you'll be back to mod the place as well. we need you :naughty:
regarding the front page - yeah geeks love it, but i will send timmie a mockup of the portal, simple and clean so he might be able to work it out.
goku will not disappoint you.
i have my hammer and my bloody chair to back it up :chair: :banging:
With your new Avatar Goku, I should really revive S.P.E.W. (Society for the Protection of Emoticons and Widgets).
Do you also kick puppies?
hey, yall listen i came up with the idea on how to work that report thing out without messing it up for the staff memebers as well (since there are more buttons there for us)..
stay tuned. thanks for the thumbs up. most appreciated.
contrasutra: you are my inspiration for my avatar/sig's creation, if not the main reason. Ive had a relief after seeing you posting your comment about them. (in spanish accent) *sigh* do you feel et ma litta spammer?
How do you get that text so small? Whenever I do size=1, its not nearly that small.
Hey, whats a spammer to do when his stars disappear? I feel naked without them. *shutters at the thought of myself naked* :nerd:
Did you make those emoticon animations by hand? Impressive. Your photoshop skills show. You should try to do it professionally, you may surprise yourself and make a buck or two.
looks pretty good - though timmie decided to put a plastic button for the "up" arrow which looks decent.
I'm going to make the badges indented and appropriate to the user group color.
and you bet i will change the report button.
I'm sorry to keep you all waiting with that report button - soon - im very very busy and completely out of time these days, please give understand. thank you everyone :bow:
I am completely enamored with the changes to the board...for I now can see when a thread/forum has been updated!
Great job...to the 'Aqua Man'....and please take your time with the impressive results...
ok, its tough times right now for me, but i was planning on doing rest of the postbit buttons like the up button...
also contra, you know darn well there would never be ads on aquasoft, now we might have a banner from out host but thats not even considered one, but badges of our friends sites will go there, like emac, aquaxp, google
tim
Speaking of which, is the google search really necessary? I mean, we all know about google, and most of us use Firebird, which has a google toolbar built in.
It just adds to the clutter of the site.
Why dont you use google and search for an answer to that...
later on tonight - new report buttons and some changes.
We need the indented buttons here, cause just those plastic buttons sticking there like aqua buttons isnt looking right.
thank you all for your input! :chair: :banging:
