I think we're good mod-wise for now, though.

If I had to choose between Az, GR, Scumbag and Thrillio or roughly 3 quarter of the mods on that other place to run a site. I would choose the former every bloody time.
Az is a mod here, so what are you saying?
Also, stating the obvious here but maybe create sub-forums for the likes of Modern and Vintage forums like you have done with the
Standard forum.
I believe this is already on the itinerary, but I'll check.

Edit: Ok, there was no mention of it, so I put it out there for you.

Unanimous is a bit much, but discussion does go into the decisions when the discussion does come up.

Good point... don't want the peasants revolting.
We're already revolting enough as it is.

I'd like to formally request a transfer from the "peasants" group to the "riff-raff" though.

Also, more on topic, has any thought been given to making MTG discussion more front and center? I'm not criticizing, but I'd personally think moving the chunk of Magic specific forums higher on the forum list might make it slightly more accessible. Sometimes people are too lazy to scroll. And yes...I'm being 100% serious. This is something we used to talk about a lot when
we were working on our website at my old job. Metrics suggested that a fairly large number of people left our site without ever scrolling down, so we had to make sure there were "hooks" visible from the start.

Edit: After looking at the forum again...I have no clue how the FUCK you could lay it out better. I'll leave the suggestions on site design to people who know what they're doing.
You're cute for trying ;)

Well, the sig I made is inviting Mafia players, mostly just to get that area going. As for going live, I think we should at least attempt to get our own server before we really start advertising.

Also, when I logged out to log in as MandersHex, I noticed that Mafia Games cannot be seen. Well, you can see we have a forum for them, but when you click on it, there's nothing.

Wait, I do have one idea that I would use.

Blogs. Mafia stats need a blog, man!

I don't have a lot of ideas about how to run it or buying urls/servers, but I can tell you this...

Mafia is as ready to go as it can be. ;)

Cool, That's exactly what we need GR, initiative, and not waiting for me to give you guys the OK. We are definitely not gonna go the Ugly Sally route, so you don't need to ask me permission for anything if I already gave you the power to do so :tongue:
I didn't know if I had the power to do it or not, so I didn't try. :p

I'd be down to mod anything non magic related, maybe mafia? But we already have two mods for that.

Whatever really.
An Entertainment section? WCT? I wouldn't be interested in either of those.

Let's face it, we all used Outside Magic fairly often. Might as well re-create it here.

MTG Phoenix does not roll off the tongue whatsoever.
It will eventually just get called Phoenix of Feen, but how does it roll off the tongue less than MTGSalvation?

I'll go out on a limb and suggest the name doesn't have 'mtg' at the start.
But, in the long run, we want it to be a legit MTG site, right?

If so, it should, and it should be MTG: Phoenix.

I like the following:

MTGFallen
MTGPhoenix - Especially this since we're rising out of the ashes of MTGSalvation.
MTGClubhouse

Welcome aboard MandersHex! Nice to see you again.

In other news, a mobile skin has been added. Should you login from a mobile phone, the software automatically detects it and switchs to an adapted lightweight skin.
Carried these steps:

This leaves us with 4 skins atm:

vphpbb3 (set by default, useful for those of us who are sed to MTGS)
prosilver (comes with phpbb3 by default)
subsilver (comes with phpbb3 by default)
Artodia: Mobile and SEO (new skin, switches automatically to this when a mobile device is detected. Tested successfully with a blackberry mobile device).

Suggestions are welcomed if you find other themes/skins could be added. Here is a good resource: http://phpbb3styles.net

Enjoy!
Very happy to see you, Scumbag.

I'll look around on that site when I have a chance. I'm off for the next two days, so should have plenty of time to do so.

I'm here, though I don't have much to add at the time.

I do know I will volunteer to do anything I can to assist with the site.

gg, Scumbag. gg.
