Trend*****
 

I Dunno about you guys on the board but I personally think that this board has alot of Trend***** to it. Example 1: The metallic look(rivet like)is found on nearly to every vbulletin forum there is.

Yes it does look nice, but after having to look at it on more than 10 forums, it does become boring and the actual 'gab' of the dots are gone.

All I am saying is that we should have a True Unique Interface where we can say that "Yes, this truely is unique to vBT".

Do you not think so?

I think vBT should have its main pages' templates completely modified, people shouldn't be able to recognise it as a vB ;)

There are six or so style sets here, many of which have been donated. I believe that SD made the default set himself and that's the one I use, personally.

Some of the others are normal Ravio skins that you can just buy, and since everybody buys (or pirates :rolleyes: ) them it makes them look like trend wh***s. :)

Agreed :(.. Piracy, what a shame really :(.

but when ravio is making the people who buy the style, he/she should make them look different, i've some of his custom styles, and honestly, they look exactly the same :|

*hides his Photoshop and Flash MX and 3DS max and all the the software on his computer*

wha? I dont have kazaalite!

Piracy is indeed a bad thing. Back when i frist got into forum hacking i used a warez verson of ubb 5, i dident know it i was doing anything wrong until i started posting at scriptkeeper. At that time i removed my copy and paid in full for ubb. Back then it was easy to get away with using warez software on the net as most people did not code call home fetures into their software. Now a days you are going to get found out, people sould just buy the software insted of trying to get it for free.

...

The skin is fine, and it hardly has any 'metallic' look to it. Expect maybe for the category images but thats it. Everything else is either tables or the snow background which I personally like.

As for piracy, what my fellow mods said goes for me too.

i guess, but to me it still seems a little trenwhory :(

It was made a long time ago, so considering the date you joined here people might have copied him instead.

aint that the truth! - well said Tony...exactly what i was thinking

ok then..

Its true, scence vBt frist went online many other sites have in some way copied parts of the style, mostly the postbit template.

A lot of people directly ripped the category images too...

The boxes around the stats has been probably the most common thing or rip I have seen. It's just silly.

I do customized styles for people that ask :)

We don't get to choose, do we? :p

I customize to what they want...
Sry, I didnt understand your question :p

I meant when your asked. ;)

lol u cant a table.

Most sites i see only think "Graphical" over "Originality" You can try to argue with me but thats my Opinion.

What do you mean? They use too much graphics?

vBulletinTemplates original style is easily available for viewing, you do not have to choose the 'Grid Lock' style. While I do not think it is trend*****, you may think otherwise.

Many people use the same style but that does not mean it is trend*****; you may have the wrong idea of what trend***** really is.

Grunge would be a prime example of trend*****, the exact same images are used over and over in various designs; you cannot really say the same for the grids as they are different in various designs.
