Man both offshoot projects both halo archive and sep7agon. I love both but made sep7agon my home. Must say i hope them good luck but i hope we can create ties with them.Also funny how both our forums are growing and getting bigger.I hope the update for groups come soon so that it is prepared tested before we have a population to expand.All we need to do though is grow.
I remember one of their mods being a massive sjw tool in #offtopic. Have avoided that place since. Plus Hola kinda died for me a while ago.

I'm planning on brining it back up to the Bias team once the renovations to the site are done.
I think their design is fundamentally broken. The header looks great, but when you scroll down that's when the inconsistencies begin. The footer is also terrible. The images on the main slider have different font styles and approaches. The blog page is the best part of the design, but it suffers of some strange choices in color, and images featured on the articles. (Not being consistent) Where the fonts on the partners page is a disaster. Needless to say, that the design is not integrated with the forums is the worst aspect of it.

And I guess if you really want to critique the partners section, then yeah, the fonts are odd. But it's not that bad (and not as bad as their spacing and display of the partner images without some kind of background element support).And IDK if I would be too harsh about the lack of integration with the forums. Proboards are anal about giving your your database if you want to move, so their options might be limited.

Well be moving every thread over via CTRL-C/V. We did that on the move from zetaboards, and will likely execute the same again.

I know vBulletin is popular in some communities that branch out.

You don't have to touch the database at all to integrate the design with the forums. One is independent of the other. I also mention the dark grey weird color choice in my post in some manner. However, I still think it's terrible, the design is all over the place.

I would be more than happy to lend a hand free of charge, if you want.Quote from: Mendicant Bias on February 21, 2015, 08:50:58 AMQuote from: Isara on January 31, 2015, 06:19:32 AMYou don't have to touch the database at all to integrate the design with the forums.
