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. 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 Assumed? Demanded! You and Jason will be setup with whatever you need to do, and we'll all be there to help. I have the utmost confidence you will make something happen that is kick ass.

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? Don't know if you are asking Foo or just in general? But Time. Foo said it before and I'm with him, if we had nothing but time to devote to this shit with some coin, we'd battle bloody-disgusting etc. in this market. But it's always been a site by the fans for the fans.

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 Bludge was too flakey for my tastes. Why I was always balking at his offers to help.

We shouldn't make this a shrine to HMF of Yore. It should be a relaunch. If we relaunch Globat under a new name we are doing it wrong. Plus surely things have advanced since 2004!

Foo, can I also clarify that you iMessaged me the other day? Got a US number, didn't look to ask. I'll possibly be out and about during the day but can try to help set stuff up this evening.

I sent you a message through WhatsApp. I wrote "test" and you wrote "test received" but I guess you have no idea who that was lol.

Bizarrely though, that came as an iMessage (so a text) rather than through my WhatsApp messenger

Are we going to have a main page that leads to a message board? If so, will there be other links on the main page that lead to anything else? I know we primarily just want the message board. Do we want to revive a news feed? I mean, we were really just linking to other horror news, but I don't know if we were bothering with it. Laz seems pretty attached to blogging, so a blog section maybe as well? I have an idea for the message board background stuff. I understand we're keeping the scheme of the marbled red/blue. What about we add a theme of horror characters/scenes? Subtle enough to not overtake the actual posts, but adds texture in the background rather than letting it be a wall of color.

Also, I'm clearing my plate of any current art stuff, not taking on anything new, so I can make a path for this. I'm trying to finish my Saul Goodman piece as we speak

Blogs and calendars etc are nice. But we need people to run that stuff.

That I'm unsure of. From the couple of tutorials I went through, I don't see there being a separation of the main page we had and then the message board. I know we can definitely have blogs as wordpress in which we used is all over the tutorials.

Banners at the top seems a go, main page unsure of. But again, don't "worry" about shit yet. First we just need to get the host and board and then we can start exploring these finer things.

What I'm saying is baby steps, dudeamis prime. I ain't looking into all the graphical capabilities of this shit, I just know people can do cool shit with it. If it takes you awhile, so be it, we have to build the canvas before you can paint it.
