People need to relize that this is not the internet of 4 years ago. When i frist got into working with bulletin boards i used ubb 5. Everything anyone released for it was free. however, we had far less styles released before it required alot of code hacking. Most people that do designs know html and all its extentions has i like to call them, and a graphics program of some sort.

In short. If someone is going to sell something most of the time they are going to put the time and effort into it so it will sell well. Thats why you do not see many free design releases. not many people are ganna put alot of time into something they are not going to see anything out of.

I belive in a free internet, but i also belive anyone has a right to do what they wish with their work.

if i had all the time in the world, i would DEFFINATELY do some free designs. I'm thinking about opening a site of just FREE, graphical designs for vBulletin. i dont know if ill do it, cause i only have 1 free design atm, but if i can get a team of designers, i will deffinately do it. hopefully, people will donate to help keep it alive in terms of hosting, vB license, hivemail license, and all that good stuff:)

buy me photopost and im all yours LOL

cute:)

well...its been decided
I'm going to open this site. Snake~Eyes (admin at PJ) and I will be opening it. I'll post a thread in the Lounge here

Just when I thought there were enough skinning sites. ;)

how many FREE skinning sites are there?

http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mo...&threadid=2694 <---see:)

Well here's one. We have a forum on it. Don't need to dedicate the whole forum but it works well. :p

its not a whole forum - we will be offering free skins to download

I see that, I'm not stupid. But, you want a forum for it too, No? We have free skins for download too. Maybe not all made from you or a site dedicated to it but it does the job.

We also have styles in the database too. So we're partially like that too. No?

its not a forum like this...not at all..

just a support forum for the styles we have.
then there will also be a general topic, and then a modified boards, just like here

i dont want the forum to be huge like ths at all. i want the SITE to be a HUGE hit....the forums willl just troubleshoot the styles, and also allow our downloaders/clients to keep in contact with us

You have alot to compete with, so I'd say don't expect to get big right away. There are bazillions of style sites out there. Even free ones, just that you don't know of because they weren't hits.

Be prepared.

im prepared...at least i think so:)

and if you want to help out...that would be great.

possibly in the future, i will be allowing users to submit styles. the styles MUST be graphically designed...meaning very nice. they must also be approved by the staff of the site (2 people).

i dont know about that...but it is deffinately a possibility

and as for free vb styles...i have searched google and yahoo when i first got vb, and never saw any REAL free, graphical styles

I will help, but with creating free styles once I get time. Okay?

sounds good!

http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mo...&threadid=2694 :)

thanks tony - was just gonna do that:)

we have had 731 downloads plus what ever we have here, so far...lets keep those numbers going up!

Im using it at
http://thor.forgotten-angel.org

Well, in my opinion, I do not like it.

For one I do not like how you have the forum bits so tall, dunno but it makes me think of ikonboard *shivers*

I am not overly fond of the header either...

You did not put alot of work into a custom postbit if any, and in my opinion that is really important in a style, almost as important as a good header, so i`ll nick off another point for that.

that's my two cents worth...

keep your pennies

all i have to say.....

you get what you pay for

and 2 cents doesnt get you much

i can get a used floppy disk for two pennies ;)

but you cant get a vb layout

i can, its called i create my own, never do i use a style someone else designs.

there are tons of people who want to use other peoples styles.....thats why im opening a site about it...,

bottom line - you dont like it, dont use it. you dont have to keep coming at me, acting all quiet.

bottom line...dont like it...dont use it. you cannot criticize me for releasing something for free, becaus almost a thousand people from yaxay and PJ and here have asked me to release it...so i did. if i didnt make a postbit, o well....its still free

first of all, you posted this in an open board, i`d advise that you be ready for any remarks directed about your products, as have been done to me. accept it. i can make my own remarks based on how i feel about your products because there is no guideline in this open board that says "be sure to say everything looks 100% grade A. quality!". i`m off to bed now.

you are picking on me for releasing something for free...that people wanted.

im gonna drop this now, cause ive had a shitty week, which is probably why im getting in internet fights on numerous boards. i apologize for anything i said.

goodnight

Okay,

Cypher, you need to be able to take constructive critisism for anything you release. You can't always get 100% happy remarks. You seem to give out alot of critisism but you're not very good at taking it in. I suggest you respect other peoples opinions because that is what you're asking for. What you dish out, you must know how it handle it when it's returned to you.

iHCF, I'm not sure if you are 'personally' attacking Cypher but when you do ive out your critisism always keep it at a professional rate and not personal. If you know you're going to go personal just don't say anything or try to tone down the 'rudeness' the responder might see.

I hope I helped.

yes, it did help, i`m sorry tony

did you install some hacks or just pre-installed thing?
Because the index page looks good, but very different from mine.
Or is it just your board and it isn't included with the syle?

I have not seen any hacks, maybe some of the new things you see are done by template mods only.

Where it states the post information, and member information at the top... I'm trying to place a image. Where would I put the <img src...> to replace what's already there?

The Dreammaker style has been temporarily suspended, it will beable to be downloaded at www.vbpanel.com once it is opened. For users that have already downloaded this style, the update will contain a completed button set, a modified postbit, edited images and an updated Terms of Service agreement which will allow you to remove the Download this Style image and will have an updated copyright.

Ghey
