. One problem for me could be hostgator not providing the option to fiddle with design and layout coding. Another problem could be the coding in a completely different language than what I'm accustomed to. As far as outlook goes, I'd imagine we'd want to keep at least a similar look to what we've gone with over the years, and having the red/blue option again would be nice, but we could very easily be stuck with our only option being fiddling with colors and shit. Do we get avatars? Siggies? Just something else to consider before jumping right in. That isn't hostgator. That is phpBB and you can customize that. You select the general layout and then can put in different headers etc. Do we really want it to look exactly the same again? Weren't we trying to get the look updated with that Aussie tattoo guy just a little while ago but that fell through. This would be the perfect time to update it. Snazz it up with some of D's gorgeous work! It's a forum board of course you can do avatars and siggies. BD has a customized phpBB now. If you are worried about that just go peek. Avatars and siggies all over. The goal is definitely to update the look. Everything I've seen indicates there should be options just like our archaic old board for multiple themes, so including "classic" ones for our blue and red marble hopefully isn't an issue for those that want to stay in the comfort of this.

Slaughter, can I also say a big thank you for coming to help us out here. It's appreciated. All I did was make a suggestion, I wouldn't count that as being helpful. You guys are doing the real work here. But it was a seemingly good suggestion no one had thought of before. I know especially Seb and I are two blind squirrels just looking for a nut just like Foo was, I read some shit and am all "I think I know what that means".. "I think that's a good idea", but fucked if I really know until we try this shit out. Which is where I'm at, end of the day we lose a little money it goes tits up, but let's try it out and see if we like it and it works for us, if not scale it up, evolve it. Maybe phpBB and Hostgator ain't it and we move to something else. I don't have the answers nor the time to seek them all out but I think we all say let's give it the fucking ol' college try.

It'd be nice to just get something new going, and make a few mistakes along the way together. Feels like we've at least got a bit of a plan going now. Just need to get it rolling and see where it takes us.

It makes me feel like a contributor even if I am not there as much. I also realize that life, including our finances, has many ups and downs and it is sometimes nice to have another person the help shoulder the load. Alright, we'll split it. Would never deny your contributions to something you help found. I want some of that action at least a third

Fooskey, you said you got about a half day tomorrow, which half? I got about an hour worth of errands to run and that's it on the agenda, so I want to make sure I schedule them precisely at the worst time to slow this down more. k,thk

Many hands make light work! I read that as I'm in for the cost let's do this! Normally my response would be something like, I love the enthusiasm, but I don't want anybody sinking money into it until we decide this is good and right for the HMF family. HOWEVER, with you, since you brought hostgator to the fold, it lives and falls on your sword so I will gladly accept your monies!

There must be some downfall to running a website that would make you not want to do it. That's what I'm curious about?

I'm pretty available weekday evenings, so when the basics get set up, just let me know what graphics I could help in (pixel resolution sizes would help too). I realize that it was assumed I would help in that department, but didn't really actually say anything

I do kind of want to start fresh if yall are wanting illustrated stuff being shown, so some direction could help in on that end as well. I was pretty disappointed when I did that mural intended for the main page, then when our Aussie guy fell through (or whatever, I didn't like his designs anyway) and nothing happened, suddenly Bloody Disgusting had a big photoshop painted mural of virtually the same idea (though obvious digital tracing was done, I can tell that shit). So if we're doing something cool like that I would want to do something new. I think my airbrush illustration has come a long way since I started a year ago too
