I'm working on it still and there are a few more themes if you sign up like SemiSwirl and Windows XP Blue and the IPB default of course

I'm on a roll! I'd like a all-star mod team so if a mod or member that wants to be a mod would come, sign up and PM me, I will have a good team! I have Quadro from WindowsXPStuff.net in super mod duties if you are wanting to know.

It's a nice forum skin, but what does your forums actually offer people?

You could join my happy site and have Super Mod duties or be a regular watchdog for the mods! Because I allow that.

So why would we want to join a forum that offers the users no real information or access to any real resources, simply for the fact we get to be a super mod on a forum nobody goes to?

I'm not trying to be arguementative, im just curious as to why i should bother biggrin.gif

It's not very good "netiquette" to post things such as this.

I was an administrator here. I gave that up because people drive me insane.

Don't think I want to do that again.
b0r3d
Why dont you just become insane too? That way they cant drive you anywhere.

Which actually brings me to a more important question. Why are you letting insane people drive in the first place? tongue.gif

I've done some improvements the last few weeks! New sections, An IPDynamic lite news page and new ranking names. And also I swiched from CaliSkin V6 to CaliSkin V5 because I messed up V6 by editing templates to link to a new logo. But V5 is better because I can really figure out the new posts icon in V5.

I would recommend that if you are wanting to create a decent forum site that you lose the "free" hosting. I recommend emaxhosting.com (XPerties company). I signed up with an account there not too long ago, and I am pleased. Fast site and a lot of built in features. I won't post my site here out of respect for the forums, but if you are interested in checking it out please let me know. I will PM you the link.

spam the link un4given1, we don't mind! biggrin.gif
un4given1
I might take you up on that after I change the domain name and decide to take it live. I am not quite ready to jump into full administration right this second. smile.gif I am still working on some things.
Corvette
Good news! I found a good host that's free and offers Subdomain hosting and PHP, FTP and MySQL support! I am going to install IPB 1.3 on my new host and I will make Techcity V2 even better than ever!

The new link should be techcity.ssxh.net . This hosting is provided by IllusionFX.
Aaron
Good luck then vipersnake smile.gif
Corvette
Well I've been having so much trouble finding free hosting that I re-opened my site up and giving it a majior redesign. I'm working on a new theme behind the scenes and I have been upgraded to IPB 1.3.

The link is the same as before but now I've also got a redirection at techcity.cjb.net .
Corvette
Well as you see, I've been working on other projects and have decided to bring back the site, we are now on broken-hosting.net, not BBFree. I will have FTP now so it will have a new customized experince.

techcity.broken-hosting.net
(don't let the name fool you, they are a fairly new host and it's just a name, it's not really broken)
prathapml
dude, if hosting for forums is what you need, then why don't you check out http://invisionfree.com/.
Corvette
IF=yuck
Good for temporary downtime sites but not enough to suit me.

@Corvette
TechCity forum is not working now...

Site down due to upgrade?
Broken-hosting guys moved to http://ipb-host.com/forum/ as their new url. So you need to get the site re-made maybe...
Or have you moved to host it elsewhere?
Corvette
Too late! I already moved, techcity.usaviohosting.com
Now at least here I get some added perks, like cPanel and FTP that actually WORKS!

I set up YabbSE using Fantastico so I'm already ready to go.

(I took advantage of this downtime to make a sneaky move)
