Well not sure if any of you remember me (us) used to be NBSdesignz, well as some of you know we decided to sell up to get away from all the non stop work of running such a big site for forum styles, and sold up.
Well as you may have seen i know known as Forum-Style, Meaning Yep were back making styles again https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/
We got bored and missed you all, and the fun and creative side we had, so we come back with a new site, thou only a hobby site we do plan to bring some styles back for vBulletin. We have current made 3 styles, 2 for a customer on TLZone.net, a forum that i have been spending alot of time at for motorbikes https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ and our first main style to release, we have it all set up on our demo and testing forum for people to look at, so feel free to take a look and post ya comments.
Anyways hope to catch up with you all on a chat soon.

Ops a link lol,
http://www.forum-style.com (http://www.forum-style.com/)
Demo forum is http://demo.forum-style.com (http://demo.forum-style.com/)
I have been a long time fan of your work.
The first thing that drew me to your site was the amazing work you all do. It is simple, yet unique. There are some styles sites out there that really do nothing more than change the color or the default style, you all look past this.
You add things and change locations, you add and change images through out to make it original and yet still keep true to form.
There are sites out there like ibunique.com that do something similar to your work as well but they have not made the choice to pursue multiple forum styles as you all have which is another amazing trait.
Finally, I have purchased other styles from others and have used many free ones as well. The never ending, tireless support you all offer is also incredible. They also do not push a style out just to get one out. They take time and ask and get feed back before ever releasing one.
Honestly, when I start reading through some of these peoples "Sales Spew" of how great people are and styles are it is hard to believe it is true.
Now trust me, I have had my issues with their styles in the past but simply because I have a portal wrapped around my forum. That being said, I asked them about this and they were willing to install the portal just to test it in case others may want it with their portal! How many Style developers out there you know of that would do this?
Also, not all of these styles meet my tastes. Mind you this first release "Purple Glass" is nice, but not sure I like it for "my" forum. I will definitely show my members and ask if they would like it on their site and if they do, I'll add another to the list (if it works with the portal that is).
I can simply say in the future of this group (and there definitely will be one) they will definitely be pushing out some amazing work so just get ready. And no, I won't be rambling after each style they make, but I will post if I like it and may post if I don't (but rarely do) I not like their work.
So, give them a chance and keep your eyes peeled on this group. I can promise you, they will give a run to the competition.
Good luck you guys.

lol shelley, took ya time there, oh we do have a place to rant also :P Its just the general banter area pmsl, its not really a place for chats like old place, just a hobby site to pass our time again, but its great to be back thou making some styles again.
Thanks Rick for the nice words, its great when a old customer gives such a wonder post about us. Many thanks you both, its nice to have such great friends out there still after so long.
Nice site Mat. My only suggestion would be to make the site width a bit bigger :)
Please feel free to add your site to the 64th.net list :) (http://www.64th.net/vBL/Add-Your-Site/)
Thanks,
Mat

Well we have been rather quiet, main reason was we needing to set up the site a little more, now adding a free area for styles again :), and making our first free style to add to the area,
http://demo.forum-style.com/?styleid=9
Well be greatful for feedback on the new style from you all :) As always.
Anyways better starts some more styles i guess, kinda quiet where we are with just 2 styles now on the site, but it will get there as always.

Good to see your still alive there mat. I've not replied to comment about the style but to ask whether you plan on adding some kind of graphic area or graphic database like your old site? Anyhow, Nice to see your becoming active again. ;)

Damn shelley dont you sleep :) Just seen the time ya posted that lol.
Yer we still alive, been so busy on the site thou, i know it doesn't show but its all back end scripting. Now the worst is out of the way, styles should flow more.
As for adding a database for graphics, i like to think maybe in time yep :) If people want it, we will do it.
Like before we are here for the members, so its what feedback we get is what will move us forward.

We had a girls night out and I thought I would check on some submissions I posted and seen there were some requests for some customizations on some emoticons I posted so stayed up to fill them. Trouble with that was one person requested then several followed suit and some more on top of that.
I would suggest you add a graphics database because everyone has different tastes when it comes to graphics and they aren't always content with the graphics that compliment a certain style so having a choice of other graphics will be a bonus. Not to mention I will help out in that department (if you require and/or want me to contribute).
Anyway, Good to see the enjoyable backend coding is done and the enjoyable element of the resource forum lies ahead. Styling enjoyable? I hate styling.

Nice stuff...very well thought out and not over-bearing. All the touches are there to make it a great style (both of them). The community needs more real talent...nice to see your work and best of luck with your new venture :)
