No, I purchased it from Johnny, Oni never bought the theme rights from me, from my old domain. He got the domain and the database in the deal.
 
RE: HistoricForums | BETA | Awards | Staff Positions

Site doesn't look bad, probably have been one of the best looking ones I have seen in awhile.

Make sure not to give up on it and make sure to do this:
Promotion, Post Exchanges, Affiliate Swaps.

That will help you grow your userbase to a good stage.
 
RE: HistoricForums | BETA | Awards | Staff Positions

Thanks, yeah. I use Postloop and then just word of mouth to start off. I got a small budget at the moment, but you can get some advertising done free with SEO and the like.

But thanks for your comment, glad you like the theme. @Johnny_s made it, he's pretty slick.
 
RE: HistoricForums | BETA | Awards | Staff Positions


Yeah postloop is pretty good, I wish you good luck with your site!

1. New smiles as you can see, they are cute little white things.

2. Usergroups legend has been created and put in a sidebar for ease of viewing.

3. Graphic design group created and run by @"Queenie" . You can request a signature from the group here:
http://www.historicforums.com/showthread.php?tid=266

4. If you are in more than one group (only one group at the moment, GD) you will see it on your profile.

5. You can now view our stats in the footer. .stats.php

6. The kitchen is spotless.

7. Advertised in more places.

8. I have graphics on the way for a signature (2 of them, actually.) I'll set up a page in the help documents with anything regarding advertising when I get them.

9. Forum is cleaned up.

10. Fixed the attachments image, it's now a paper clip.

11. Files are named and ordered.

12. You can now show off your Xbox live gamer tag in a mycode and sound cloud. You do it like this:

[xboxlive]Insert gamer tag name here[/xboxlive]

15. The staff page is a bit better now, looks cleaner.

16. You will now see the last post as x number of minutes or hours ago. If posted the same day, if it was yesterday, it will say that.

We have just reached 2k+ posts and 300+ threads with 80 members. Not too bad for a few days. I'm really loving running this forum.
 
RE: HistoricForums | Custom theme| Friendly community | Awards | Active

Just a few updates today as the site is coming along nicely.
  • Bugs fixed
  • Update section added
  • Postbit updated (still in progress)
  • Random section added
  • Profile help document added
  • Drank 15 beer
  • Thread count added
  • Thanks removed (for now)
  • Post activity added
  • Signature overflow added

1. Bugs are fixed, template and what not. Also the buddy image is fixed. Thanks @"Shaun735" for pointing it out.

2. I have added a section for updates. This very thread is being posted in it.

3. Postbit updated. I did some tweaking to the postbit, it's still in progress but surprisingly I do have a life. So it will be done when I can finish it.

4. I have added a random section. This can be used for forum games and other stuff. Post count and historic credits are disabled.
http://www.historicforums.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=30

5. I have added a profile section to the help documents. Can be found here:
http://www.historicforums.com/misc.php?action=help&hid=15

6. Drank a little too much (not really, should have drank more.)

7. Thread counter added to postbit. You can now keep track of your threads.

8. Thanks system removed. The other one didn't want to cooperate with my postbit, nor did it have any templates (wtf?) to even be able to edit it to my liking or anyone's liking. So I will add a new system when I can.

9. Post activity added. You can view your post activity in the header under "profile" or in your profile stats and hit details.

10. If your signature is over 300px in height, it will be cut out to save space on the thread display and not annoy people with huge signatures.

I'll add it to the header and your profiles.

Thanks to everyone who has signed up, it's been fun so far.

You are more than welcome to an upgrade if you were upgraded in the past.

Some quick little updates for today.
  • Got sticky thread on HackForums
  • Added new arrows to close and open forums
  • Moved the header around
  • Cleaned up more forum files
  • Added a few things to the shop for newpoints

1. I bought a sticky.

2. New arrows are in place at the top of the tcat on the forums.

3. Header has been changed a bit, donation page up there and upgrade moved into a more visible place.

4. Forum stuff.

5. Added a shop to newpoints, only one thing in there at the moment. I'll be sure to add more.
http://www.historicforums.com/newpoints.php?action=shop

The one thing in the shop is a 1 week sticky, for 70HC which is like 70 posts. Feel free to suggest things for the shop.

Not too many updates today, but I'm still working. I got a little homework to do and such so I'll be kinda busy so if I don't get back to you on Skype or PM, that is why.

Also this is nice to see for a new forum.
28 users active in the past 60 minutes (23 members, 3 of whom are invisible, and 4 guests).
