While we're keeping the new forums, we're not entirely sure we're sticking with Joomla as a site shell. We're looking at maybe using tinyportal.net as a forum/portal package. The biggest problem I see with using them right now is that there's few good themes, and I like to have a look that doesn't look like a billion other sites when possible. Also the LotD site logo is getting sort of dated, and I'm in the mood for some new looks. Feel free to post any new logos you might want to see us consider.
First off, i am not really impressed with tinyportal...... second, do we want to vote whether the banner needs to be changed? or skip that step and just make new ones and vote on what people make. Just thought
Tinyportal isn't a 100% gonna happen. The core of our site always revolves around our forums, and whatever CMS type system that allows us some nifty plugins. Tinyportal has another version in development, and there's other things that we'd want to see before making a final call on that. As far as the logo, I'm up for people making shit and submitting it for review.
What if we added characters from each game to the sides/background of our currently existing logo? every game lotd has taken part in. And just as lotd joins new games they can add more characters. Im talkin like Ghost Widow from CoV. A wow main character. A necromancer from Guild Wars.... and so on.
poo on my idea. Alright, Im brainstorming, so cut me slack for bad ideas, but its still better than nothing at all. What about a multitude of skeletons(animated kind of like the band Gorrilaz). In like granite or some sort of stone in the middle of the mass have Lords of the Dead. And for some added awsomeness have it animated to have blood actually flow down the banner like when you die in 007 video games covering everything except for the Lords of the Dead part. Then have the skeletons slowly reappear over the blood as it fades to black again. Rinse repeat. Huge Graphic, but worthy of the name
