Web Development Forum

[Invent]

Hey,

Yeah, doesn't this thread look familiar ¬_¬

Anyway, if I was to set up a Web Development Forum and try to get some of the great coders/designers of this forum to sign up/administrate the forum would YOU join it?

As I'm willing to buy the vB, Domain and everything right now.

Thanks if you post,
Simon

[Ini]

Owned or leased VB?

[Invent]

Leased probably and see how the Forum goes and then upgrade if it the Forum starts to do well.

[Scuzzy]

Sounds good

[Invent]

Thanks for the comment (:

If enough people say they would use it then I'll buy the vB now ;D!

[Florx]

I would show my interest to help.

Thanks,
Jake.

[Ini]

I have a month left on my lease i am not using if you want to just give it a go for now..?

[Invent]

Sorry, unless you want to set it up yourself instead then go ahead.

But if I was to set up one I'd want it on my own license just so I know everythings O.K :P

[Scuzzy]

I'd use it :)

[MrCraig]

Id use it, This forum is the only one i really go on on HxF anyways .. :P

[Invent]

Same really and I just don't think the Web Dev forum is ran as well as it should be considering it is very active and OBVIOUSLY the best forum on the site! :P

[Assassinator]

Ide probarly use it.

[Ini]

Sorry, unless you want to set it up yourself instead then go ahead.

But if I was to set up one I'd want it on my own license just so I know everythings O.K :P

Ok just thought id try save you some money incase it didn't work out, i could always send you a screenshot of the licence page when i have changed the URL i could also get any mods you wanted from vbulletin.org.

[Invent]

It's ok, but still thanks for the offer :)

If the forum didn't work out then I'd just use the license on HabboLake ;P

[Moh]

I would sign up, but then forget to visit.

[Forge]

Id love to work on it mate ;)

what would the name be may i ask?

[Jordan,]

probs would sign up

[Invent]

Whoa! The name is a long way away from being decided :P

[RangeHost]

Yeah, I would be up for joining the team.

Sounds a great idea and I think it would be a great resource for users needing design/coding services.

[Mentor]

If you get serious, id be happy to offer you hosting for it, free of charge of cause :)
Id probabaly join, though i find alot tend to die pretty quickly so theres often not much discussion taking place after a few days in "/

[Forge]

Whoa! The name is a long way away from being decided :P

I'd decide a name before i bought the VB! :P

Yeah and i'd work on this. Ive been meaning to work on one for a while now..

[L!nK..]

Id join, and maybe help on their too :)

[Invent]

Thanks for the offer Carl but the main reason why I've started to think about actually taking the idea forward is because I have £100 spare and I bought a server last month :P

Yeah that's the only problem. I'd try my best to make it active if this goes ahead.

[MrCraig]

Obviously. :P

I think its this forum and runescape (EW, -shriek-) thats the most used on a habbo fansite forum lol.

But yh, i agree that most forums die very quickly unless they have a steady stream of new and returning members.

Ah, ok. I'm just currently bless with more hdd space and bandwidth than i can shake a stick at, so i thought i may as well offer :)

[Hypertext]

I'd be interested in a flash/php area, I'm useless at html and css tbh, php/fw is fun.

[Invent]

I'm also thinking of buying the: "vBulletin Project Tools" addon. (£28).

"vBulletin Project Tools is a versatile add-on product that enhances vBulletin with project management functionality, empowering your community members to create projects, contribute to tasks, submit issues and view progress of projects. Seamless integration with vBulletin ensures maximum usability, and an administration suite within the vBulletin control panel allows full customization of projects, issues, tasks and user permissions."

Views?

Bah, nevermind: "Just bought vB PT and it doesn't let users create their own projects ;/".

[Hypertext]

it does, with the right permissions, i've heard it was quite nice, but should be used once you forum is a larger community maybe about hhgs size.

[Agnostic Bear]

As I'm willing to buy the vB

Haha oh wow, if you can't see what's wrong with that you don't have the experience necessary to open a coding forum.

[Mentor]

Haha oh wow, if you can't see what's wrong with that you don't have the experience necessary to open a coding forum.

o.0 im going to have to admit to having no idea what your woffling on about? Wha?

[Invent]

Haha oh wow, if you can't see what's wrong with that you don't have the experience necessary to open a coding forum.Aha, no - that's stupid. Just because I'm going to use a popular forum software that may be exploitable, not open-source does not mean I "don't have the experience".

I think I'll buy the stuff now and start to get the "team" set up this weekend (:

Dan likes to make comments like that in threads (especially mine I guess...). Just let him be (:

I would join, as long as the design of the forum was looking nice. :P

That's a must. I would never run a web development/design forum without it having a good design :P

Good good. :D If you need some staff and can't get your hands on any (I bet you'll be able to :P) then PM me. Nontheless I will still signup and use the forum a lot!

(The reply page took 49.157 seconds to load because I'm downloading 8 100MB files in one go... oh the stupidity! :P)

[Jme]

I would join, been looking for a good web development forum for a while.

[[Oli]]

That's a must. I would never run a web development/design forum without it having a good design :P


You know I certainly would join ;]

[Tomm]

Yeah I would be intrested. Although I don't recommend you make it Habbo releated in anyway xD

[Invent]

Ok, I've bought the vB and I'll get it set up tomorrow (':

[[Oli]]

Yeah, don't make it habbo-related ;]

Oh, and yeah this forum section is also almost the only webdev forum I visit
There are quite alot more webdev forums but all of those are dead/inactive.

And simon, if my schoolwork doesn't take too much of my time I'll help out in the designing part, you know that right ;]

Good luck,
Olivier.

[Invent]

It will be in NO way habbo related. That is definate.

Also, thanks Oli!

EDIT: Gr, I used PayPal instead of paying directly through Credit Card which means I've got to wait a week for my license information (because of it sending an eCheque :\).

[VistaBoy]

i would join.

[Awfy]

Yeah, if you could get the active users then obviously would be a good forum. However I don't see many people from here switching over to another forum especially if it's a niche subject. Forums like OpinionsFTW and so on haven't really hit it big, so you'd have to advertise the site like a pig advertises mud.

Also, another thing is I take it you'll be targeting HabboxForum's kind of audience? Habbo users or ex Habbo users. Which generally means that a lot of Fansites will be posted. Don't know if that's what your after or not.

As you know I love vBulletin so if you need help give me a shout.

[timROGERS]

I'll use it ;)

[Zaub]

I'd use it :) Sounds like a great idea!

[MrPinkPanther]

Fail.

Na seriously I do think it will fail, these forum projects never succeed. Eg OpinionsFTW that was ran by the best people possible with a lush skin etc. Why should people make the move to your forum? What more do you offer?. Personally I dont the the Web Dev section on here is ran badly. They only ever close threads if we start arguing and thats fair enough and the sections are divided up pretty well. I for one wont be joining :)

[Andys]

I may join, if you want me to...

[Invent]

To save me time Jelsoft have agreed to either cancel my eCheque and allow a credit card payment or they will just give me my license information tonight/tomorrow.

EDIT: The eCheque has just been cancelled and I am re-buying the license in a few hours using cc.

[Invent]

Right, seeing as the buying stuff side of the site is done we need to think of a name!

What do you guys think the name should be? Should it be something simple like "WebDevTalk" or something a bit more complicated/random?

[L!nK..]

PM me as I'm interested in a Smod job :)

[Invent]

I'm not hiring MODs now (especially SMods) as I have no idea how popular the forum will be. There is no point in hiring loads of mods now if there are no posts to moderate.

[L!nK..]

Oh k, well if the forum does get popular, then yh ;)

[Hitman]

I'm not hiring MODs now (especially SMods) as I have no idea how popular the forum will be. There is no point in hiring loads of mods now if there are no posts to moderate.True. If you get it perfect, as in the staff, the way it's run and the forums, then it'll be popular... but it may take time.

I'll do my bit to help the popularity. ;)

[Invent]

Thanks Hitman :)

I'm not bothered if it's doesn't get popular, that would just be a bonus (:

I would just like a nice little community with some great developers where we can discuss things without living in fear of infractions! :P

[Florx]

Haha yeah!

Relaxed Web. Woo!

Good luck. Il try and think of ideas and names.

[Hitman]

Thanks Hitman :)

I have a good friend that would be active. He's learning PHP atm I think, he's into designing etc.

As for a name... I have no striking ideas. :( WebDevLabs? Heh... :eusa_thin

[Turnip]

Sounds like a good idea, and you seem the right type of guy to run it.
I wish you luck with the forum, and yeah, although im not a coder, designer or anything, id be happy to join, and maybe learn some tips, and tricks of the trade. Im not sure about what the forum name could be, but im sure with a brain like you guys of got, you can come up with something that will be perfect.
Good luck once again.
Matt.

Just thought I'd let you know that I've now received my vBulletin Members Area info (:

Once I have decided on a domain (hopefully tonight) I'll get the site set up ;D!

Some name ideas which people suggested/liked:

- webdevforum.co.uk
- webdevforum.net
- devode.net
- webdevtalk.co.uk
- webdevtalk.com

Any other ideas :')!

[RYANNNNN]

Design seems rather dull of I'm honest, maybe add some bold white parts in some where...

Also, can't believe you decided to choose devode.net, especially when the .com is registered as well...

Either way, I might possibly sign up

[Cixso]

Mind my language, but that skin is ******* sexy.

[Hitman]

I like it but Simon, but the user info part (who's online etc) looks... ugly. It should be one box I think then it'll be the 1337ness. :P

[L!nK..]

You can do better is all im saying

[Mentor]

Few changes:
http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/2690/devodebeta2pc4.png

My main suggestion would be thin up the top bar, fit it more exactly and maybe shrink it a little so it looks more slim line and flash.

[Forge]

Its bloody amazing. But make sure theres a colourful skin thats available? ;)

[MrPinkPanther]

Thin down the links please, I hate fat link bars like that. The font also stands out too much in my opinion.

[VistaBoy]

yes i would think the same one box and not two.

[Chippiewill]

I would defo use, Aslong as there arent to many seperate forums. Also to get it running just get ad words from google, (not on the site I mean on other sites)

Too split up in my opinion, espeally for a new form.

Front end (design)
back end (coding)
tutorials

Possibly with better names really sum up everything you want in there in a much better way. Splitting em up to much just leads to empty forums and is annoying if people just want to browse the new posts in that area.
3 forums is all you really need there, subforums should best be avoided in most cases.

Show off! -

Design show off
Graphics show off
