[highlight]Also as soon as im online message me, i have quite a lot of steam friends with names constantly changing so i don't know who you are until you message me[/highlight]
This is awesome. You're an awesome person for doing this.
I used to make forums for people too, only I got rated dumbs instead of hearts... :smith: [url]www.mayhem-gaming.co.cc[/url] is a work I showed them. Is that really terrible? Did I do something wrong there? Who knows.
Seems alright to me, excluding the colour schemes of the admin names. Although i'm presuming you just uploaded PHPBB to a web server and added a style, where as here i'm coding the websites by hand. Mabye have a go at creating your own style for PHPBB

And the styles are also apparently not yours, unless he changed the credits somehow. But the actual home pages look good.

I admit the styles I use for PHPBB are not mine, mainly due to the fact i'm rather new to photoshop, once i get used to it i'll probably start using my own.
Just thought i'd add that he does loading screens for Garry's Mod too.

I'd rather just go to [url]www.zymic.com[/url] and get the hosting without needing to contact you. No offence.
[QUOTE=DaMoggen;28151244]I'd rather just go to [url]www.zymic.com[/url] and get the hosting without needing to contact you. No offence.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but Zymic won't code the site for you they just host the files
[QUOTE=DaMoggen;28151244]I'd rather just go to [url]www.zymic.com[/url] and get the hosting without needing to contact you. No offence.[/QUOTE] But just think cause he spent hes time to make a free forum .
Alright just to clarify: [list] [*]I do code the websites myself [*]I use PHPBB which i upload to the filehost and setup [*]I DO NOT use [url=http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=free+forum&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=]any of these[/url] [*]Yes similar services allow you to setup a free forum but are littered with ads [*]And yes this is my alt acc since i was banned [/list] Care to explain how i'm dumb? Providing my time and skill towards helping communities starting out is dumb?
[QUOTE=R@Rdeathmatch;28151226]To make the forum you use " forummotion " or " you start all from 0% " ?[/QUOTE] I start from scratch with PHPBB or SMF, whatever you like.
Yeah same, i either use PHPBB, fusion news or wordpress and am currently working on using THT for billing.
[QUOTE=Trumple;28165603]I start from scratch with PHPBB or SMF[/QUOTE]That's not from scratch, that's uploading and configuring software. Starting from scratch is opening notepad++ (or Dreamweaver for less intensive stuff) and writing it all yourself. Anyone can make a forum with software. Nothing special.

(Excluding 6th link down)
It's still something anyone can easily do. Still, to each his own.
Well each one has its pros and cons and well just leave it at that and get back on topic.
You need to lay off the CSS3 text shadows and gradients. Go look at well designed web sites and try and analyze what makes them good looking. What you're doing is very nice and its a good way to learn, but you need to work on your designs.

Just a little note, OP and I have teamed up to give people their own control panels, and design the sites for you.
The servers will also be considerably faster than before due to the kindness of Banana Lord who is allowing us to use his servers. Will update OP in 2 days when im unbanned
Just a little note i'll be unable to work on any sites until wednesday in which all my exams will be over EDIT:All done taking requests
