I came across this place several time while browsing through proboards support's GOAYB and I am simply amazed every time I see the skin of this forum. I know I shouldn't just a book by it's cover but ah well, I really think this place has some SERIOUS potential. About me, my name is Sharon (how creative of me on the username thing huh?) I am writer, designer, guitar player, girl, forum administrator (of 4 other forums) *counts again* well only 3 really because I've basically given up on one of them. So yeah, compliments to the admin of this place I wish you much success with this forum and just to let you know, I aim to help you out in anyway I can.

Hey sharon, yes i've seen your board on support too. Thanks for the compliments on the layout, ;D , I was actually going to start over when I first created the skin because there was something about it I didn't like, I decided to tweak it though and it came out pretty good. It's nice to have you here.

It's nice to have you here. Yep, and you left me some positive feedback and I appreciated that I noticed that you changed the banner since the first time I visited. It's cool change, I think the banner stands out more. It must have taken you some hours getting this look together.

Yeah and it's mostly if not all brushes. I did change the banner, I thought it would look a little better if I went for the "Techish" look. It's all in a days work.

I still need plenty of practice as far as brushes go. I used to always just clone everything and just use filters. The Techish look really works. I love how everything is easy on the eyes as well. Most design forums nowadays look way too... template-ish. I don't really know how else to describe it.

I agree, and they don't have a theme to be remembered by.

Exactly. I admit, it takes some serious skill and Time to create the designs of certain forums but after awhile, they lose value in a sense. I think people some Times make the mistake of going for "perfect" instead of uniqueness.

Yup they do, and many of the new boards look at old graphics boards and say, "Hey that's a popular board, I'll do the same thing." And then you end up with 50 identical boards.

Yeah and that makes their forums seems very generic-like. I mean, I admit designers have different styles as far as designing goes but I think if they can't/won't make their forums unique in their own way people are just going to overlook it and move on to the next forum community with a more interesting concept.

You hit the nail on the head right there. So true. Because people know that they aren't missing out on anything because they already have a membership on another similar looking graphics board.

Exactly. Which is so not the case for Dreamscape because this place is very unique in its own right and I can't wait to see this place grow.

Oh thanks! I'm going to keep every single version based on a theme. I can't wait either, i'm getting excited just thinking about it.
