Testing, 1...2...3...

P, Matt...you see this?

BamaTJ · May 17, 2007

I am on it, looks good!!

Werd up lil buddy.... you guys wanna cross post it to the custom board yet ?

Im about to start a copy paste a thon on all the tech just to be safe.

BamaTJ · May 18, 2007

Lets not cross post this now, it is not even close to finished.

On the subject what the hell is going on with tthis site vs the hardline custom site? Are we gonna keep both? Move the hardline custom forums over to this URL? Keep this forum private for us or just have a private section to it? I am a bit confused on that subject, it would be nice to get on the same page before we start running all crazy. The plan is not very clear to me.

Depending on Leslie is not going to happen, and even if that gets turned over maintaining two forums is a lot for us to do. I just don't know the best solution. I say we have two choices: make this forum all private and keep hardline custom as it is now or merge them together and use this one forum for everything. Ricky can you bring the DB over and keep all the content from the hc forums?

Speeding · May 18, 2007

I know it's possible to bring over the database from the customs forum, however I've never done it so I don't know how it'll work. I have a feeling it'll overwrite what I've built so far, which is fine if that's what you guys want. 8)

Also, you both should be admins now. If you change any settings post up and let me know so I don't notice they're different and change them back. ;D

Ricky, we need to move the hardlinecustom forum DB over to this board. Find out what you need to do that and let us know man. If we lose the couple of sections already created here then so be it, we can recreate a new members only section if needed.

P · May 20, 2007

let the HC board go... Leslie obviously has no intent ( even though she says one thing she has non stop NOT followed through )

F it re start fresh on this site and roll out.

She doesnt build rigs...

She doesnt know any of the regs on that site anyway and doesnt post. No one will use it if no one is on it ya know what i mean.

Once the Domain expires Ill buy it back and do what I need to on my own for Hardline Custom. If she renews it and I feel I need it, her and I can go to court over it cause Im tired of her petty crap. Shes cool to me on the phone then talks **** behind my back ( which is laughable considering that is the whole reason the Leslie / hardline drama started, shes a hypocrit. Ive learned a valuble lesson from all of that. Ya cant trust anyone but yo got damn self !

Speeding · May 21, 2007

So... official word: Let Hardlinecustoms die and bring everyone here? No importing the old database? fresh start? ???

P · May 21, 2007

Custom is at Leslie's mercy. I dont have time nor will to fight with her over it and Im done tryin. We have this site... why not build on whats here and stop wasting time ?

HC is what it is and will be what it ends up as far as the website goes. The company is me and I aint going anywere , she cant do **** about that 8)

Teeen-fo'. As soon as I get done with CRAWL stuff from the shoot this weekend I'll get on the website hardcore. All I need from you guys is some text! What do you want on the homepage?

BamaTJ · May 21, 2007

Yeah that sucks cause there is a lot of valuable tech on the site that I don't wanna lose, but oh well. It is gonna suck trying to keep up with two forums while hardline custom is still around because you know people will still post there. Ricky please work on getting this forum to a usable point and we will start driving people over here.

Upcoming rides and such, the ones that are public that is, the private rides should stay just that as I don't want people inviting themselves. Privite rides are a member only benefit, so let's just post the pics after the fact. We need the site to say a little blurb about who we are and our purpose. I will email you my rig specs and ride schedule now, some of that can be content.

BamaTJ · May 21, 2007

Some more ideas for the main page:

I like this as a guide[
http://www.blacksheep4x4.com/
http://azrockcrawler.com/

News section where we can add content
Member Listing with links to email address or their rig specs
Our mission so to speak would be nice and our motto
The font and graphics are way too large and you cannot see the entire page without scrolling over, so can we scale that down.

Sub-pages should include:
Travels or Trail Rides gallery
Detailed rig specs and pics
Links
Forums
Contact

About the font... I had a brain-fart. I'm using a sick font I downloaded but I realized unless you have that font on your computer too...you'll see it all as whatever your default it. Probably Arial or Times New Roman. I'll change it to something most everyone has. I'll turn the toolbar text into images though so I can keep the cool font. As far as the header pic, it was just something I threw together, I didn't even know if you guys would like it. I'm on a 17" laptop so it doesn't look big to me, but I'll size it down.

BTW, you guys can add, reorder and whatever you want with the forums yourselves if you don't wanna wait on me. It's not that difficult really. Go to SMF's site and read up a bit. I think it's www.simplemachines.org

BamaTJ · May 21, 2007

I will handle the forum setup and customization if you will handle the main site. You have mail

Do Matt and I have mod or admin controls ? I havent noticed that i have any "visible" access to anything ?

BamaTJ · May 21, 2007

Admin, you have to go to a seperate interface to reorganize or add headings, you can't do it from the actual forums. All you can do there is edit/remove posts and what not.
