How bout we sketch some ideas and post them? for a certain interface?

Looks my other reply didn't make it ._.

I made the sketch 20 minutes after my previous reply.



Home page:
1. Logo/banner
2. Menu
3. A javatype scrolling thing. I'm sure you've seen them around. Highlights important threads in the forums or big news.
4. Changes the forum type for the scrolltype thing. Say Gaming, Writings, General Discussion, etc.
5. Changes threads in the said forum. So it'd show different writing threads if you were to select the Writing forum for #4.
6. A small description from the OP of the thread.
7. A interactive live chatbox

Forum:
1. Logo/Banner
2. Menu
3. Forum types. To keep it kinda small and organized I'd recommend something like this:
4. Latest Topics scroller. Clicking Latest Topics will take you to the "view posts" page as it shows currently on the left side bar.
5. The most fun option. The User Control Bar. Has the Search feature, Edit Profile, Login/Logout, Etc. You scroll over it and the smaller bubbles pop up.
6. Currently Online/Last Online with the last 24hours.

Depending on how serious we get, i would really like to find our own hosting!
we need to invest to make us.. invest our time!


awesome blueprints motion, they look good and i can see where you are headed with it.


are you proposing that the forum be on the back end?

i was thinking that we should focus on our content, what we produce first?.. mods wiggles add-ons.. GF's games/music/ produc..

have the forum be the underbelly and something for the regulars to enjoy, but the lurkers will have to earn access

The forum being a back end, kinda. The homepage will give insight that the forum is where most of our ideas and creations are. By having the javascript main thing, it tells viewers that there's something big or being worked on while maybe providing some content, like say GF drops a small album or the entirety of GF collaborates a big album, then we can put that up on the homepage for download.
