vBCollective Update

[Khuffie]

Floris: what I envisioned to begin with is exactly what I'm trying to get done here, a place where people can download and post free skins. Why use this instead of say, the vBulletin forums?
...

[Khuffie]

Just wondering, how did you envision working on skins with other people? o.O

[Khuffie]

NBSDesigns: I remember your site from the good ol' days of using IPB. Heck, the only reason I started this was because your site had no vB skins . And competitions always nice

Mr.Nase:...

Ok, I pretified everything and its ready for public viewing!

Virtually everything works (I hope!). If you're a skinner (Zachary, I'm looking at...

That, youd generally use tables for... The best idea of 'tableless' designs are those that do the general layout without tables (ie, navigation area, content area, header area), all done using CSS. You...

Oh I just remembered another field:

PSDs: Whether PSDs or blank logo images are included

Hey, some may know what vBCollective is from this thread, but for those that don't, I'm basically creating a site where skinners can post free skins for others to download.

Now, over the...

^ the forums are now up. Thanks for Razgo for trusting me on this with his license.

[Khuffie]

I have a vB license from my forums, so I can download it no probs!

[Khuffie]

Wow, why in heck's name do you have one?

That would be great though, if you can hook me up, I can get it setup ASAP. The URL would be http://forums.vbcollective.com , so if you can stick...

The main aim of the site is for:

- skinners to release their free skins in an organized manner
- skinners to get feed back on their skins from others
- skinners to help each...

I'll start working on the...

I kinda like vBCollective.com, not sure about 'the' in front of it. It also doesn't limit the scope of the site, allowing for future expansion.

[Khuffie]

The only thing I'd lose would be some time I would have spent doing nothing, and $8.88 for a domain name . As I said I already lease a server that has a lot of left-over bandwith that the site can start...

[Khuffie]

I want to start it; and I will start it. And no, i don't want to get Jelsoft own it or in control; it's not that hard of a project. Now...we need a name...one with a domain thats not taken

[Khuffie]

Ya, thats basically it

And frankly, I don't see why we need to worry about whether the people who visit the site are licensed members or not; we'd be providing free vBulletin skins, not...

[Khuffie]

I've seen that, but it lacks organization...it doesn't really archive anything in any sort of method, it just allows people to upload things to a forum, plus, it seems to be dead No updates since ...

[Khuffie]

MGMaster; I've seen quite a few free vB skins out there, I could try contacting the skinners and see if they'd be interested in submitting their skins to this sort of archive...of course they'd have the...

[Khuffie]

Well Chris, there's nothing stopping us from making one

What else would you like to see in a vB site aimed at webdesigners? Post away!

My ideas so far, and I haven't had...

[Khuffie]

Either the phrasing confused me, or I've got no idea what you're talking about...what do you mean $240-$360 one time sale?

I've seen quite a few free styles for vB out there today, some...
