Appreciate all the hard work kerry, i think a clean white and grey with a touch of green will be fresh! this and unite rep the uk so lets pair them up... cant wait for it to change

Why not just make a Unite forum?

^ YEH

i had a thought of making this the unite forum, but most people wanna keep the name as fbhq

Because I don't want this to be unitefingerboarding, I just suggested they be similar themed to see them as a UK based collaboration, not just to be a part of unite. People seemed to like the idea. If changing it is really going to drive away valuable members from here I'd keep it the way it is.

I'm no good at forum design so what gets designed tomorrow is probably going to be naff. If you're not busy and would like to be a part of this redesign, say so, I'm sure you can do a hell of a lot better job than I can and everyone on the forum will appreciate that in the long run I imagine. And its always nice to chat

I think having a Unite forum would make it even more worldwide than FFI, and it'd be welcoming too because well.. it's Unite!

^ Right, I think the collaboration and joint forum/blog would be a good idea. Perhaps have this forum more colorful with dark and light greens; simply to bring a lighter and more friendly atmosphere to the community of (Unite) Fingerboarding.

Unite, and FBHQ are different and everyone loves Unite, so if there is a virtual online "Unite" community where those lovers can interact with others, they will be more able and aligned to wanting to join the forum. Good idea to bring more friends and fingerboarders in IMO.

He's right.

well, its interesting to see people would see it as a positive move! I always wanted to do a merge between the two sites, but I didn't want to seem like unitefingerboarding would just take over here, I thought that would be unfair, hence my negativity towards the idea just now.

new poll is up on the portal, please vote people! If enough people would consider a merger, it could well happen! What ever everyone thinks is best, I'll try my best to do

Personally, FBHQ is nice and all but unite sort of has the same meaning. Head quarters meaning a place for everyone to join and talk, and unite meaning a place for people to do the same thing. I see nothing wrong in merging, when looking at it as simply as that /\

I don't really think you should do a merger, i think you should just have the Unite forum and that's it. Breaks off from Harvey's useless hold on this place and you can do what you please with it, since you'll be the root admin. It would also probably break the can't-find-a-suitable-timezone-for-a-moderator problem.

I voted for the middle thing, but I think I would like to merge actually. I just don't want the forum to get HUGE.

Could take the same approach as FFI and close registrations for a period of time

I do think i should be assistant admin for suggesting.

Keep this as fbhq! make no other unite forum, but make the themes the same/simular as its from the uk.. sorted?

in other words opetion number two on the poll. keep this as fbhq so it still has the uk feel to it and not just another worldwide foum...

basically "No! Fingerboardhq is awesome on its own, but a collaboration with unitefingerboarding in a design sense would be a good idea." that exactly!!!!!

I think if this turned into a Unite forum, then it'd have a lot more people. The bad thing about that, is assholes/jerks/etc./basically what we don't have on here from being kind of a small forum, would be here. And if it's more populated then we would definitely need more mods. Maybe a Unite forum would be cool, but it would probably end up like ffi, and I think on fbhq, everyone is more special, and this whole place just feels special in general haha.

well, it was just a small idea, and people don't want it, so its not going to happen. thankyou for your feedback!

thom as for what you said, you mean like, ignore here and just make something totally new? harvey has said I can do what ever I want here, as long as everyone wants it, so he doesn't really have a hold any more.

And as for talking about mods, well, lets just say I have two potential mods lined up, one from a different time zone, and one I think you know But I've not asked the non different time zone one yet, I'll have to do that soon

Sorry everyone btw that I haven't had time to get design previews done today, hopefully will do them tomorrow or this evening

did the poll results help?

I havent really read anything that has been said in this topic, But i think the name change and a diferent look would be awesome, i really dont like ''FBHQ'' unite would be alot better imo.

But dont make ANOTHER SEPERATE forum, thyere is too many allready.

Yea, I think just the Unite Forum. Not Unitefingerboarding; still keep it a little different.

Agree

Hellooo everyone

So I know I've not worked on this for ages, but I have all the issues people had with the last trial run fixed, however once its applied it'd take like 10 minutes to get the site looking how it should. Still, I think its looking good and will have a lot of people pleased.

Would you guys like me to test it now? Or tomorrow morning so the disruptions wont affect many people? Let me know

Now!

just do it now haha
