The forum is up

So I started a forum. I have no prior Administrating knowledge, but I hope to keep this site up as long as possible.

I have plenty of Admin knowledge (at least 4 forums I'm admin at), I'll be glad to help if you need additional features/skins/ETC.
(BTW, I'm SnakeX at DBZVortex)

Thanks SnakeX. You get to be the first Admin of my Forum! I feel like it's as big as the Vortex already... I'll go change your usergroup right now.

EDIT: Okay, you should be an admin now.

OK, This is now the official update topic...

What Theme? Blue? Dark Blue? Green? Or Simple White?
I'll set up a darkish bluey one for now, and you can decide to keep it or not.

I'd like a bit brighter blue and my doughnut banner back, if it's possible.

Edit: I appreciate the way you changed it to make it look nice, but I went ahead and swapped back. I think I'll try a few more styles. Thanks though! Nice to have help.

Sorry, I was going to fix it, but I was sorting out some usergroup stuff.

Ah... That's okay.

Hmm. I like this layout. If you can set it up, I'd like it very much.

Yep, This stuff is common nature to me, I';ve done it so many times

Can't wait to see it. If you don't mind, I'll be working on a new skin as well.

yehh i was thinking that this name(Custom Spriting Forum)it's not very appealing
the rest its cool i am loving the forum so continue the good work.

Thanks. But the name is of my creation and we shall keep it (for now.)

I've gotta say, people may be turned away from the 'custom' part, you could keep it, but some people will think this place is for people who do 100% scratch work only.

Ah. So, just Spriting Forum? I guess that's cool... Would you chang the URL if I changed the banner?

EDIT: I changed the banner. Not gonna change the URL yet though.

I can't change it I think, sorry, there's no option, and all the members would get 404 errors while it changes.

Okay, I guess the name will change but the URL won't. It's still cool.

I didn't think it was possible to change the URL.

It's possible on other forum clients, like invisionfree/zetaboards

That's funny, because I've had both invisionfree and zetaboards and I never could change the URL. Maybe I just never tried/had the need to.
