Excellent.  Might it be an idea to kickstart it by moving the Last Resort thread from the Tower to here?

Oh, come on. That'd be thinking properly. :-P

A request!

Can you possibly change the default theme for this board?  I feel like I'm in the Villa.

(and I use different themes to remind me of which sub-board I'm on, so changing my default theme won't work.)

Darkmoon posted the limits (along with some other bits), and then removed them for editing the other bit.

You must have 6 months of comics posted, and at least 40 strips, before we'll consider it, on grounds of you need to have built up a following; otherwise we'll be spending all our time managing setting up new boards, etc, and since we're volunteers, that's gonna suck, right? Right.

If you can't set the theme for yourself, you'll need to petition Jigsaw and get her to ask us to change it; I'm not going to go messing about in her swimming pool.

Huzzah for the new board! I'm excited for her XD
I wonder how she reacted when she found out?/'s going to react when she does find out?!

So exciting...

Yeah, I was actually thinking along the same lines as Tapewolf.
Even if a new thread is started here for the other to be merged in to. Whatever's easiest.

cool, I've more than exceeded the requirements... although I have to question if ten people is considered a following.

Glee! Thanks you guys!

And yes, I'll be changing the theme for this subforum shortly... y'know, when I'm not up to my ass in midterm work. I believe it's just background + title graphic + color scheme,which should be pretty straightforward, just not able to do it immediately.

Preventing my graduation date from being delayed further is a slightly more important priority to me than a cute forum, after all.

Doing the images: easy.

Putting them into a forum theme... not so easy. It's all done in javascript, which alters the CSS and html, which is generated by php. So what you're looking at is code that generates code that generates code that does the work...

But grokking someone else's already working skin should be easy as well, right?  ;)

Ah.... not as easy as you might think.

I keep meaning to get around to going through the default skins and fixing them for the new format, so that we stop getting large numbers of errors in the error logs....

It's not a simple task, so I keep putting it off...

It was some unimportant, self-promoting blather.  Completely inappropriate on another person's brand new forum, and the kind of thing that I would expect to be reprimanded, had anyone else seen it.  Admitting I did it at all is my way of apologizing.

Hey now, don't be the forum police!

There, I reprimanded you for something. Feel better?

In Fluffy's Cast Page (http://www.missmab.com/Cast/fluffy.php) it says that Fluffy is a "Dog (?)" and that is the closest we will get to knowing the truth.

Arguments on Fluffy's gender and species aside, you say that like ending up like Amber is a bad thing.   :B
