    Smile GFXEffect - The friendliest graphics, gaming, artist, musician discussion forum.


    So basically we're just starting out as a freeforum for the first month with no advertising- then we plan on upgrading to a .com, phpBB premo, and copywrite removal to get things in full swing.

    We plan on letting the community decide everything from which expansions come first, which things must go, the look and layout of the site, the site banner, even what competitions are released.

    We're even going to let the community decide the domain name for .com release when the time comes! Because www.GfxEffects.com is taken.

    We will release battles, points systems, ranking, and more in the near future- its up to YOU to decide!

    Good luck but all of the things you mentioned as an 'upgrade' would set you back no more than £6! I would seriously consider putting a little in to be able to get a lot out again.

    Other than that I'm not sold on the Viewtiful Joe/Script Text logo... but it's a matter of taste!

    yeah, I think I mentioned that I'm going to purchase the domain name, premium phpbb forum support and eventually advance hosting which is about $80-100 CAD. dont know how many pounds or euros that is

    lol and we just got that banner as a temp. we're going to get the community to decide the domain, the banner (competition) and even the layout, design, and what features come and go

    also adding a ranking system seperate for artists, musicians, and graphic artists as soon as the demand becomes enough (H)

    You say it's for gfx and stuff but the logo isn't reflective of this, it looks like you got a picture and just plonked text over it, the forum is hard to navigate too. I won't be registering, sorry, good luck though.

    drink up this bottle of yeah
    and P A I N T your body on me

    i agree. It is hard to navigate. Try using mybb? phpBB just looks like a mess and all over the place

    the banner i made myself in like 5 seconds just modified how his cape looks nothing special, its temporary til we have a banner comp and we have some really skilled designers (if you would even look at the site but becuz of the banner that wont happen)

    and myBB SUCKS lol im getting a .com domain name and premium hosting and eventually advanced hosting with FTP access so yah i dont want ads im not even recieving money for on my forum k thanks and the software is garbage. same withe the layouts they look like the worst freeforums ive seen id rather go invisionfree.

    lol myke maybe you should join and submit an awesom banner for the competition

    If I'm being honest, I couldn't agree more. I know you said it's temporary however even so, for a GFX website and whatnot it really doesn't reflect it through the design of the website. Good luck with it though, hope it all goes well!

    Even if it is only temporary, first impressions count a lot and if you are advertising for members to sign up then it needs to be at least half-decent in order to attract a good userbase.

    The problems aren't that big, just have a go at tweaking the forum and maybe switch to myBB as suggested - as I can promise you the interface is much more advanced. The concept however is good, and with a bit of work there is no reason why it won't become an active forum

    Good Luck!
