I changed the color so that we could differentiate ALL links should work except the private link. Nothing points to noncompliance.com site except the forums which I have not even dug into yet. Tell me your thought on pages needed. I just put some links to pages we may need...

So, you are building a new forum as well? A seperate one?
If thats the case, I'd suggest something along the lines of
General Chat: World of Warcraft Discussion: Guild Info, Discussion, & Feedback: Class Info & Discussions: Officers:
I just never use the front page of any of the forums I go too, I always end up just linking to the forums... looks good tho..

Another set of forums may not be possible without tons of headaches because you have to use the same CGI-BIN folder to hold both and there are tons of issues with this. Klauso will have to take a look and make a decision...

I would suggest just imbeding the original forums PW protected into the new one...

Ok, either way, didnt matter to me, but I do think we need to add some folders somewhat along the lines of what I posted just for orginizational purposes..

Yeah, we need to have seperate categories. That is really important for organizing information.
-General Discussion -World of Warcraft Discussion -Guild Rules/Information -1 for each class -Raid stratagy -Officers
Organization of forums is key, otherwise no one will use them. [ 12-08-2005, 09:17: Message edited by: Ender ]

Also, hauser.... change the noncompliance.com link so it goes to the wow site instead of the forums.

The forums are Klauso's thing. I am going to let him manage that part of the site...

Well for the guild home page, you need:
-Graphics: Make it look not so... lame. We can do a guild logo, since we are good with that stuff. Change the colors to something darker. Add some icons, etc. If this forum application cant do any of that.... we need a new one.
-News section: Make this in the middle of the screen and wider. Also, it should be able to hold multiple postings.
-Navigation section that has links to different things like forums; game realted links page that has thottbot, allakhazam, world of warcraft site, curse-gaming, ventrillo, CT mod site; downloads, photo gallery, and whatever else you can do.
-User info showing who is online now.
-Server status window.
I actually really like the mafia boards except for some of the useless extra stuff and the graphics. It would be really great if we could do something like that. I can help in whatever way you need me to... im good at learning this stuff.

Well basically 90% of what people use is the forums. The rest of the site news, pictures, etc. isnt as important as having a nice easy forums.
The sites you see with news sections that are editable etc. are usually kits or site designs that people buy to use. I can easily put a news section, server status section, and anymore links that anyone wants on what we have. I only used the same design because it is easy. If you want something more, spend some time and find what you want...

and whoever wants to create a guild logo, feel free. it needs to be the size of the green section to fit into the design. If you want something huge on the top of the page, we need a new design.

Based on what we come up with for a tabard we'll change the site colors to match and probably just come up with some cheasy graphic for it.

The cool site designs you guys see are almost all PHPNuke theme packs. We can do a site like that if you guys want but I will need help.
Some are free and some cost money. You then need to set it up. The site we have currently is just a crappy template I found online and threw together to make it simple for Klauso to upgrade stuff.

For the forums, i still think you should add a stratagy section for sure.
