Anything Forums

For those who know that's a project I was working on this summer then sort of dumped the idea thinking I'd be too busy in college, but I decided I might keep working on it, and just not make it public as much. (I may post progress here but that's about it)

Also I might change the name to something more "corporate" sounding. So if anyone has ideas post them here. It also has to be something that's unique. Like if you type it in google it should not bring up any results having to do with a message board system.

Corporate Sounding, eh? How about "EnronBBS" or "Copyright BBS"?

EnronBBS, revolutionizing the word collapse™

AYBBBS lol i dont have any ideas but i would like to see this board used here when its finished

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:2744, old post ID:22415

haha, aybBBS.. hmmm maybe we can screw the whole corporate thing.

ZigBB would be cool... Or ZigBoard.

Oh and I'm actually working on it right now. I'm rebuilding the whole authentication system for forum permissions, the one I had was too complicated, and was giving me headaches. But once it works, it will prove well since it will allow to do stuff that no BB systems I know of, can do, user based forum permissions.

lol i like the zigBB name ... kewl yet simple and who would forget a name like that huh?

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:2744, old post ID:22419

Yep I might go with that... but the name will only be decided at release time.
I still need to refamiliarize myself with the code base since I did not look at it in long. The last thing I want to do is start changing variable names to acomodate the new board name. (not that the vars matter but I want the names to make sense lol)

haha ... if ya go with the ziggy name your gonna have to make a new ziggy skin

not that i umm am trying to make more work for ya

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:2744, old post ID:22422

I'll keep the same color, but I'll just change the logo. But that will all be decided once I release. When someone get's banned it will say something like "the admin set you up the bomb"

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:2744, old post ID:22423

lol im thinking a space type of skin

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:2744, old post ID:22425

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Just got the permissions working much better then before, without an extra sql query required. This change will make things SO much easier when editing permissions/forums.

LOL I just thought of something funny, I should call it NikeBBS and the slogan can be "Just post it!". And I can register "justpostit.com" as the main site, oh and the logo definatly has to be a nike swoosh too, but with a cursor or something.

Another few ideas that poped to mind:
- Zero Bulletin
- Zig Bulletin
- Bomb Bulletin (might get confiscated by the US goverment though)
- WMD Bulletin (very bad!)



Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:2744, old post ID:22464

zero bulletin does not sound to bad and if you didnt know the AYB thing then it would seem kinda pro dont ya think

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:2744, old post ID:22465

Yep. I think I'll go with that. I have lot of time before I finalize this but I think I'll go for this.

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:2744, old post ID:22466

i donno if its just me but you should try and make it so its eazy to skin to match the site its being used for no? or are you already set up like that? cuz orange would not look good with the blue site layout here

PS your gonna have a PM in a few mins red lol

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:2744, old post ID:22467

Well the skin is something I'll worry about once it's ready to be released. The default will probably be orange because too many forums use blue for default, but for here it will be a blue skin similar to this one, if the same.

Got bored.... this won't be the final logo though, I'll be adding more to it.




Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:2744, old post ID:22469

whats wrong with that logo? it looks good

and orange hmm i gotta admit it will make the board stick out from the rest lol

PS pm sent lmao

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:2744, old post ID:22471

I'll probably be adding some bevel effects or what not, but might even keep is like that, I still want it simple enough.

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:2744, old post ID:22472

just as long as it doesn't become VaporBBS
