How would you like to have a hand in revamping The Ville site?

We are in the process of gathering a team of people to do just that.

We love our beloved site but the old gal us just that. Old. She needs some TLC and a new look.

If you have experience in creating web pages, graphics experience, phpBB Modding experience, or anything else you feel you could contribute to the project, please drop me a PM and we'll see if we can get you added to the team. There is plenty of work to go around. While experience is preferred, TIME and AVAILABILITY are essential elements we must have on the team. You must be able to devote a substantial amount of time to this project.

This will be one of the single greatest changes this site has seen since it's creation. It will be work, but if it's your thing, it will be a great project to be a part of. Again, it will be work and will require a substantial amount of your personal time and energy.

It's for The Ville and it's future. What better cause could there be? Feed the hungry? bah! Save the Whales? Paalease! Redesign The Ville? Now that's a sexy adventure!

That's it! PM me if you're interested. Let me know what abilities/skills you could lend the team.


Thank you Villuns!

I can help a little, but you need to preserve the Ville purple!

i disagree, in order to fully revamp i think the purple should be dropped.

i never really like the color scheme.

Well it might be nice if the user could choose the background color with the ville purple being default.

If you're talking about the image and css templates for the forums - and I believe even the site if done correctly - then this is possible.

Pink was the original colour of the ville (think way way back)

Yeah that's a good idea. That's easy with the forums, but it might take some work to incorporate it into the rest of the site.

thats not too hard, actually. if people want that, it could be done. youd have to get KRG's approval though. i think maybe if like a choice of 5 different colors was given itd be better. id hate for someone to choose a black background when all the text is black, or something like that.

if you like this idea KRG, think of how else we can incorporate such customization into the site. i can do the backend coding for it, youd just need to determine how it would look with the whole renovation though. i dunno. itd be a weird idea, not sure how well it would work.

Out of the two different server info pages, I prefer this one the best:

http://www.theville.org/stats/index.php?mode=live_stats&server=2

over this one:

http://www.theville.org/servers/status.php?server=TV1

maybe we can switch to the first one.

If an intro is added to the site, an option for registered users to turn it off in their profile would be nice.

or you could just set your bookmark/homepage to the index not the intro.

Just use CSS and alternate stylesheets with cookies to remember user preference... I have this setup on my website (dark themed with the option to switch to light background / black text). Go check it out at Biology News. Very simple to do...
