Giving back to the community
 

One of the things I enjoy about being a part of this community is how helpful some folks are. My vbulletin license has enabled me to be a part of it all. Absolutely the best net related money I've ever spent.

My web site is my past time, my hobby, my place to go to change around with my other hobby, (graphics). My web site has no members because I don't advertise it or take any actions to make it show up on search engines. WHAT!! NO MEMBERS!!! that's right "NO MEMBERS". I would rather have members but it's not a big deal to me. I'm retired Military and disabled so my computer is my world. (along with my beautiful Grandchildren)!.

One of the things I enjoy doing is to take someone else's style and use it as a starting point to build my own version of the style. I leave their copyright in the footer until I have completely changed the style enough that it no longer resembles the original.

I've noticed that there are a lot of vb users that have no graphics or header/logo skills. I am no expert at such but feel I can at least do better than someone with no skills with graphics.

If you are in need of header/logo work and have a valid vb license feel free to either let me know with a reply or message and include a link to your site. I will then let you know if I think I can improve it or not. I seek no financial gain. You get what you pay for :)

I've been wanting a different header for a while now. Can you get a new logo for me?

I'd like it to match the style & go along with the theme of the site, a site for gamers to cheat & chat about games :)

I'm thinking that a header with many different type controllers on it? What do you think?

Hmm that sounds nice but how much width did you have in mind? I don't really mind the width of it, just wanting to know.

What do you think of this logo? It is 300 wide and, works on either light or dark backgrounds. (transparent background)

That looks pretty good & unique, thanks!

This image should repeat itself across the header.

It's really inspiring to hear someone making a forum not to make money but for pure enjoyment. Would be good to see your URL? In relation to search engines, do you have it no follow or do you not build links etc...?

I don't take any actions to optimize membership.

I have to admit, with the 2 files up there it looks fantastic, better than before at least! Thank you for your effort, my only worry was the large image sizes at first but it seems that google's pagespeed service trimmed them down a bit.

I made new images and over wrote the ones I had above. After looking at what I made you before, I thought they looked kind of gaulky. You may or may not like the new ones better. If not, I'll give you a refund :)

lol thanks but I was referring to the size of the images measured in kb's :)

And more ....

I will be deleting the images as they are hosted on my server. Save them if you are interested in using them.

ok got them & thanks again.

I know your are offering logo/header work but I have been drawing blanks on custom forum icons for my site, www.archerandangler.com.
Of course I would never turn down ideas on header images. :)

You could go with fish hook for active inactive forum icons on the homepage.

Thanks for the input. I did think of that but then would only be catering to small percentage of the members (archers and anglers). Or am I over thinking it?

I noticed on your clan web site you are running a style I have ran and edited quite a bit. You may want to look at it's header and see if it's like anything you may want to use.

Thanks Gary. I do like that a lot.

Been a while since this thread was visited. Does your offer still stand for other people Gary? I remember you helped me out in what seems not too long ago.

What is it you need? I need a really good description.

Well I don't need anything actually. Just wondering if your offer still stood for other vb.org members is all.

Actually come to think if it, there has been one thing bothering me about a site I'm managing. If you could create a 88x31 affiliate button for this site it would be awesome.
