yep lord gnome :)

I'm gonna work on some CMS/user/etc code don't worry.

We need to get on IRC all 3 of us to finalise how this is going to work. Also, to teach you guys how to use svn :D

I suggest using the wiki. VO is not nearly big enough to warrant too many sites. And the wiki is well made.

A good point but I beg to differ. VO-wiki, however good it is (very) - it's a wiki and wiki's aren't made specificly for this as our site is. Also I believe VO has the capacity to support far more than 1 fan site lol.

I suggest Drupal. It has most of what you want built in (namely a comment system and downloading/uploading), and is well laid out.

Just don't expect massive traffic. This isn't WoW, where there are multiple sites just devoted to plugins.

No offense spidey but it looks like you changed the color theme and flipped the tabs from right side to left side. I don't see much of a difference >_>

Nothing that makes it easier to use anyway.

Why does it look more and more like the wiki >_>
May 01, 2008 Lord~spidey link
because the wiki is awesome but this is going to become more awesome than the wiki

I LOVE websites that are too wide for my screen.

Looks like a ripoff of the VO interface.
Oh, wait, is that what you were going for?
May 01, 2008 Lord~spidey link
mebbe :)

i coulda used buttons but i think this ui suits the community better :)

oh.. my.. god.. the sky is falling..

I find myself agreeing with genka on this.. my poor 800x600 laptop has to scroll to get the whole page in it's screen.. shave the size of the visuals just a weeeee bit horizontally and it'd be perfect.
