Outline REVAMPED!

First Things First

I'll try to keep this entire topic short, but there's so much and I feel this could get lengthy. There's no need to read this word-for-word, but I encourage you to look over the entire post and see what it entails.

This revamp has truly turned out in to something amazing - much more than I thought would come of it. We've all pulled together and worked to clean this forum up, allowing us to start with a tidier base and create stronger aspects in the future. Everyone on the Staff and even beyond have worked together in order to make this revamp a success. I'd like to extend a special thank you to both Reid and GothX for their committed efforts on the themes. More about them later, though. ;)

New themes:
Everyone's favorite part!

  • Cygnus - Love it or hate it, it's my newest addition to my family of themes (Please love it. :D ). I designed this and coded most of the CSS on my own. Thanks to GothX and Reid for their work on it - Goth did the sidebar as well as a few other codes while Reid helped us fix bugs on it. Some things I'd like to point out about this theme is the use of the sidebar for links with the #top built in, the submenu that everyone loves to molest (harass), the color-assorted H2's and forum markers, and the simplicity of the design. :)
  • Nova - A great alternative to my theme. It's truly revolutionary to say the least. Seriously, we couldn't even fit it in to one topic. Tom did an amazing job designing it and then sticking with it and doing whatever (unspeakable things) it took to get it all the way to the end.
  • Emoticons - In my opinion this was my favorite part of the revamp. They're such a rascally bunch of emotes, I hope you all enjoy them as a change from our general batch of boring emoticons. :P

Token System Changes:

  • New token system - Woo! This system, while not overly exciting on its own, is laying the base to amazing advances in the future. This is already held true by the new Premium Advertisements section! Completely automated - it adds itself, removes itself, and does all the token work of adding and subtracting! Great job with this, Joe. :D
  • New token topics - I've worked hours on these things (this, in addition to all of the new topics made), please give them a good read-through:

    • Token Central
    • Earning Tokens (Note: Most resources now have an 'extra' level of tokens you can earn for achieving more greatness in your submission, such as adding the PSD, gaining Reid's stamp, etc. I hope this encourages more quality submissions.)
    • Token Extras


Database changes:

  • Updated Guidelines - All of the guidelines have been updated for each submissions forum, hopefully they help you when posting your topic since you now know what we expect when looking at then.
  • Graphics Database cleaned and Signatures/Avatar split - Madyy spent about 8 hours sifting through the entire database (800+ topics) and removing broken/low quality submissions. A huge thanks to her for that. We've also split up signatures and avatars as we believe those databases can stand on their own.
  • Advertising Database split - We've divided this section up in to new sections in hopes for enhanced organization and an enhanced advertising experience!
  • Coding Database sorted - You should have received all of your tokens, if you haven't then please PM Maddy. :)
  • New exclusive themes released - We didn't just focus on ourselves, we wanted to have some new things to offer you too. Here are the new themes released (Check the themes database out to see them):

    • Outline Hurricane by Sith
    • Boost v1 designed by Symbiote and coded by Foxx
    • Shampain by Tokyodrift
    • Energize designed by Chance and coded by DaPizzaMan
    • SnD Gamerz designed by Chance and coded by Nick and GothX
    • Rebellion 1 designed by Symbiote and coded by Pro
    • ZetaExpand by Sith


Requests changes:


Gold Members:

  • Reid - The person with the least amount of post count to ever be promoted to Gold. His constant support to us with codes over the months has been appreciated beyond words, and we hope he takes this as a token of our thanks.
  • Necromancer - He inspired me to push us towards 3,000 posts in a day when we achieved it. If it weren't for his 200 posts before I even woke up I would have never even thought about achieving such a spectacular goal. He has continued to stay active here despite personal problems and we appreciate it.
  • GAK - He's had his disputes, but he's really improved over time and has been a tremendous factor to our high activity in the last few months. He got the ball rolling and everyone has really followed through in these large post sprees. Thank you for your continued dedication and patience while waiting for this group.


Things YOU can do now:

  • We have a great bunch of contests going down over here: http://outlineforum.com/forum/1683589/
  • Go post and read all of the new topics and stuffs!
  • Experiment with Nova (it's lots of fun)
  • Testimonials - We've opened up the testimonials forum to everyone and we're hoping you guys can get some kind words in there for guests! This forum is basically a forum that's viewable for guests so that they may read your recommendations for us. Remember, this forum is for guests and if you have any suggestions/conflicts for or with the forum they should be posted in the Conference Room, not there.
  • 'Guideline' topics - Believe it or not, we've been listening and reading to peoples' comments about us over the last few months. You may not like Flavius, but he made a point. So have many others with their comments on us. So this is my attempt to helping the community pick up some more quality and knowledge on certain subjects such as posting in the community and taking and giving critique.


Enjoy. :D

It's a love story, baby just say yes
Everything is epic. Very nice revamp, well done staff!
Consider this statement my permission to convert my themes to other platforms. Please link back to http://geoffreykoester.com. Be sure to rehost all theme images on the new platform as we do not know how long they will redirect. Also some boards hosting theme/skin images may not survive the move.
