Which group are you applying for? Founder
How often can you be on the site (in hrs per day) i'm pretty active on pc... i never turn it off... in hours per day? 4... or 5
Will you remain an active part of the community? why would i apply if i be inactive? =/
Forums you are moderating? founder position

notes: i have several years of foruming administration/moderation experience, some web coding experiences (talking about PHP), good layout/webdesigning experiences and good experiences on HTML-CSS developing.

Thanks for applying... a few quick questions for you..

1. How could you benefit me by becoming a co-founder?
2. If becoming a co-founder, would you help me pay for advertising?
3. I remember you saying you have a domain already, what would have to happen if we went with your domain?

1. How could you benefit me by becoming a co-founder?
well... having alot of previouse experiences as adminsitrator i know what a community needs, what should be avoided and what to do when the community is having a "bad period"... by the way i'll be honest, this would be my first GFX community, but being a "GFXer" i know what a user needs ^^

2. If becoming a co-founder, would you help me pay for advertising?
paying for advertising? well mate... i tell you this: when you make a community you don't have to pay for advertising, a good community's adverters are users, who will invite new people. just find out something which will instigate the users to invite... probably some rewards based or referes or something else... and i know few tricks to make it more "striking" which could raise up the Pagerank.

3. I remember you saying you have a domain already, what would have to happen if we went with your domain?
Mah... i already pay the hosting myself... so it will be free ^^
the board will be "mybb" ( search for mybb on google... i cannot add links ).
It is full of plugins/mods/themes (i can make own themes); the only drawback is the forum name... will be weird to see a forum named "RogueGFX" on a domain named "Extremestyle.org"...
oh... forgot to say that we will have our own Images/Files Hosting ^^

Everything sounds good so far. I'm on mybb right now.. so far it appears all plug-ins are free, which is good. What host do you pay for right now? Me and my buddy are paying for godaddy for my clans website. Our clans forum is run off phpbb3.

If we switch to your host, it will be a learning experience for me with mybb

i use "aruba"... 35 euro + 20% (a tax) per year for an windows server hosting, unlimited space, 5 emails with extremestyle.org as domain, 5 aliases with extremestyle.org as domain, possibility to have an homepage... and much more features which i don't remember right now xD

what is 5 aliases with extremestyle.org as domain mean?

an alias is something like the "redirect" of the email... you can make an alias named "lolz(at)extremestyle.org" which redirects emails to "looool(at)live.com"

extremestyle.org is already a website -- a mw3 wii clan site
is this yours?

oh... forgot to tell this... i'm the only one who will access with the FTP to the FTP site's server... since the login username and password are just 1... and they would give you the access to every site i have (even job ones)

yes... it is... but every member already left it (after deciding to leave it all together... we all had no time to play MW3 this summer... so no one was active, me too xD)

lol, I mean I like your style, and I appreciate your offer to move to your host, but i would have to have access to ftp, but i dont want to have access to your other sites, so i can completely understand your position.

I am willing to grant you founder status, but I think we will stay here, considering I wont have access to ftp.

To get our own domain here, will only cost me $20... and we can work on the sites theme together.

I am completely willing to change the banner all the way down to the background.

Hope you can see where I'm coming from as well here

i'm so sorry about the FTP issue =/ but if you ask me what to add and what to remove i can do it it is your choice... i won't force you to move everything or stay here... the only thing i'll tell you is that i'll keep paying the 42 euros each year anyways... mainly because i have alot of photos/files backup on that site xD

I think i'm going to stay here,
I am 98% sold on making you my co-founder.
Do you know anything about running Deviant Art groups?
Thats going to be the next step for my community

well... i do not have much expriences on groups... my "highest" position is contribuitor xD

Alrighty, I have made my decision.
Welcome to R*gfx as my co-founder!!

I believe the most pressing issue as of now is getting members to this forum lol. I've been recruiting my ass off for a couple days, keep getting visitors, but no sticks.

well... first of all..this is a GFX site... we need a motherf***ing "pro" theme xD
i can design it... than you choose if i have to code it ^^

oh... send me your skype if you have one... so we can talk about it in a private way

I do not have skype,

There is a special forum you can now see at the bottom of the forums, where we can talk about these things in private.

As far as coding, i dont know css worth of shit lol.. If you want to try and design something, is there a way you can show me before we swap the themes over?

what i mean is: i make the design, you take a look at it, you approve it, i code it and the forum become epic xD

yea we can do that
