Forum Never Changed???
So i noticed that this forum looks old.... I was wondering, Has it ever been remodeled? And if it hasnt, Why not?
Re: Forum Never Changed???
I guess it hasn't since a long time ago, cuz frets on fire went inactive a long time ago, the last update for the game has also been a couple of years ago. I think the forum has changed over time, but the last time it did was already a long time ago! XD

Re: Forum Never Changed???
It hasn't been remodeled since 2008, when we ported over to phpBB. The default red style was based phpBB's ProSilver, if I remember correctly.
At least once I've openly asked if someone would like to create a new, fresh style to replace the default one on here. It's not a small amount of work and you have to be comfortable with CSS. It would still need to retain the "spirit" of the existing one and the community. Post below if interested.
Otherwise, what changes would you/anyone have in mind?

Maybe add a dead link button? for example.
say a noob bumps an old as $hit thread saying a link is dead. instead of pointlessly bumping an old thread that nobody cares about anymore, he/she can just report the dead link using the button, which could maybe highlight the text of the thread red, which would mean "turn back, this thread is dead!". so that other people who go to that thread don't pointlessly bump the thread.
If i didn't explain that clearly, please say so.

Re: Forum Never Changed???
Yeah, I just think every user should have the same experience. The pearl skins looked crammed, and the other 2 look similar. I think that alot of work should be put into a new look for this forum. Has anyone ever thought of moving the forum?
And isnt this the official forum. in my opinion this should just be called "The Frets On Fire Forum"

Re: Forum Never Changed???
One forum style doesn't fit all. Every user may not want the same experience. That's why we have forum skin options in the first place. Personally I prefer the pearl themes due to what you called a crammed look. I enjoy not having to move my eyes as far over to read a topic. I'm not really sure what you mean by "moving the forum". Lastly, at the top of the forum you will find "Unofficial FretsOnFire Forums". This is not an official forum. It was created by fans, for fans.

Re: Forum Never Changed???
I thought about it again and you are correct,Thanks for making it clear to me. I really do appreciate it
Re: Forum Never Changed???
I honestly don't think the forum would need a redesign, in my opinion it looks great the way it is
