Metanet Forums

Hey hello. As you can see, our droni.es homepage is very, very outdated. Links don't work and the site just looks bad. Time to update this, right? And to do that, we need the rest of you guys.

All you gotta do is make a mock-up design for the front page - no coding necessary (we'll worry about that later).

You can craft a mock-up using various programs, a nice freeware program is GIMP!

Poll is added!

I suggested this a while ago and the idea didn't go down too well. But it seems that it might actually work, I'll take a shot at it.

Edit:Thanks to 987654321 for making it wider to fit the text. Thanks bro.

I'll make more later.

I like that design. LV, if you want, I'll gladly code that if I'm given the background image.

Oh, if you're gonna code it, you're gonna want the PSD, right?

Or do you want the images alone?

I could do it as well, if he's busy. Don't need the PSD.

edit: actually it would probably be better if I had it.

A terrible, terrible sketch for you, which someone with artistic skills should do. I liked the idea round it though.

PS Annoyingly, I can't see Techno's design. That's a fail

This!

This exact picture! Well maybe edit the text a little but yeah, THIS!

I support Techno's image. Though I did edit it.

Wait, wait ... we don't like the old background?

Whyever not?

Because it's crap.

Having now seen Techno's, through some inexplicable Techno-babble, I vote that one. Yeah, I voted against mine! Whatever!

all the homepage needs is updated references...
why is this entire redesign idea going around?

EDIT: I had some free time. Check out http://droni.es/lenny/nry_mockup.html

I'd fix the image to be full-screen, obviously. But other than that, we're good to go. We could probably slip in a "More" link, too.

I actually kinda dislike this design, cause it crashes with every other site design we have.

EDIT: oh oh also, there are more links than what you guys are showing up there.

[17:49] <incluye> It's nice.
01[17:49] <Tunc> It's really good. I mean, look at it. ^^

Hmm? What do you guys think? I agree with Donfuy.

I disagree with Donfuy, I think that if there really was a way for something to feel Metanet, it can't be a good thing :D I still vote with Techno's.

Oh just get outta here.

I really like technos image, but as I have nothing (really) to compare it to, or the ability to create one myself, i don't see what else I could choose.

Though if we could add a scrolling menu style thing to incluye's latest wordpress theme (I know, I know, doesn't seem like a good idea in words) then I'd vote that.

I mean, look at it It'd need to be totally reconfigured in order to be a menu/homepage style thing, rather than a blog, but it'd be really sexy. And since incluye made, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to do that.

Hell, the bit underneath could even be used for news updates similar to NUMA's home page.

I agree with sidke. I think it looks fine and we just need to update the links.

Did I say something wrong? Again?

Hey, we could just do some little redesigning of the current one. Just to make it look a little more modern.

I guess we need a poll for this. I'm going to add one sometime later.

Oh wow, glad to see some poeple actually like that design. I'll try and make a Metanet themed one later tonight if I can.

I'm just spewing out ideas, and you keep the current one if you really like, I just think a new updated one would be really nice. ;P

Techno wrote:I just think a new updated one would be really nice. ;P

Seconded, both for emphasis and my personal opinion.

Sure, we don't need one, but it looks pretty nice. Plus it's simple, direct; what more could you ask for?

Any particular reason that "Forum" is light blue?

Honestly, Aju's sister and Blizz is getting old... Aju hasn't been active for years and Blizz seldom comes on.
