Sexy Pics, Games, or Movies

If I think of more, I'll append them to this post. :)

I was thinking of an area where everyone had their own place to post their thoughts.. like a blog.. only, it would be here on the forum..

Yes, I know that there are places such as Wordpress, MySpace, and Blogger, for that sort of thing, however, there are some who just don't want to be bothered with registering at a different site, and then having to remember the urls..

This way, if the members here wanted to have one, then all they would have to do is start a topic in that area.. they'd have control over their own topics, and would be able to specify whether or not they'd want replies to their topic..

I've seen this done on a forum I am active at and it seemed to have worked out for them..

That is about all I can think of at the moment..

What areas would you like to see added?

I still think we should do that monthly Hellblaze Magazine.
That sounded like it'd be cool to make and we could include:

Latest news
10 Funny Quotes
New topics
Old topics
10 things to do when you're bored (Add 10 each week)
Latest gaming
Interviews... Over MSN ofc
Picture of the month
Contest Results

And much more... We could add a little quiz aswell or little made up puzzles... Sprite news... Monthly comic... all that stuff

Ow that hurt my head :rolleyes:

we had to scrap that because there wouldn't havent been enough content to make it worth while..

in all actuallity, we'd have enough content to give us one good issue. after that, we'd be grasping at straws.

that is why we placed that on the back burner..

We wouldn't know until we gave it a try. But i think we should try having more contests... Which reminds me i need to put the top 10s up again for people to vote :ph43r: I'll do it later though i gotta go....

Music of the Week! Someone could suggest one and then you have a section where it plays via music video!

i don't know you got pretty much everything cover if you and to many things none of the real stuff you have will get look at that's just my veiw on it.

Everytime i go to think of an idea it's 7:00 am!

i think that there are enough sections already but the idea of having blogs here sounds cool

Yeah... But people post pictures and stuff anyway... TBH i don't see how that will help

We couldn't be able to do that, could we?

i could do the gaming thingy

like how majin did

until we get more members, (namely after the release of episode 6, we will explore the newsletter Idea.. for now it is on the back burner..

and ramenradio, to answer your question, yes, it would be possible. and the best thing about it would that you'd be able to post images, as well as smiley's and stuff..

so yes, we could do that.

shoot, there is this mod that IPS has that allows you to have that feature on IPB.. all it does is make an extra forum, that allows people to post their blogs in.. I have seen it.. it is the same as a topic.

we can do the same and it would be free.

and how many of you like sports?

we could add a sports section.. :)

I would agree with the idea for the sports section ^_^ ;D

Not really a sports fan but then again, I can promote Soaps with a sport section.

Now THAT'S and idea A.J.!! :evilgrin:

so that is a yes on the blogs and the sports section?

Yes... but i don't see why we need a blog we just use imageshack and post them here anyway :rolleyes:

Well it would be pretty cool to have blogging :)

Yeah... i guess... People do make alot of pictures

I used to love blogging. But my last blog was hosted by a forum, and it closed down so I haven't blogged since then :( :( :( :ashamed:

I haven't blogged til i realised i was crap at art :ashamed:

Eh, I'm not too good either with a pencil. I haven't really tied yet with photoshop. I know I should, since I have it lol. :dance:

I can't use photoshop :'( It's confusing

Yeah, I gotta buy one of those books that I see in the stores for some reference. It is a little confusing. Darn Adobe........

I said the same thing Mystic, when Mr. Nest tried to get me to try it..

Learning Photoshop is simple.. all you have to do is know what you want to do, and look over some tutorials, and if you see something that you'd like to do yourself, then follow the tutorial pertaining to it.

when I started, the first thing that I always wanted to learn was was how to make an inset orb.

I learned.

Then I wanted to learn how to make a starfield..

I did that.

Next was a planet..

Done that..

I have always wanted to learn how to use the pen tool so that i can make glassy curves.. and i am proud to say that i have.

If you look in the photoshop area, and sort the topics by their start date, and look at all of mine, from past until present, you will see how i have gotten better over time..

If you open photoshop, or you look over some tutorials, and you don't know what you want to do with it, then sadly.. you won't learn anything.

Remember, Flaeb said the same thing you did, and now look at what he has done.

Can you recommend any tutorials?

This topic has a massive amount of tutorial sites..

http://ffsx.sytes.net/index.php?showtopic=1240

but again, it would depend on what you were trying to do..

you could still check any one of those sites listed and look around to see if something appeals to you.

If you can't see that area.. then you are only 6 posts away.. from seeing the board's other areas.. :)

All that came up was this

Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information.

Yeah you don't have access to that area yet..

4 posts to go! :)

Hey guys I have the best idea yet!

Is it a meat vending machine

No

Is it a Jet Pack

Yes

Really?

No!!!

Well what is it?

Well...
We should have a zone for games... Like what we did in spam with the no e game and the count in 1000s and the quote pyramid... but if we made it as a zone we'd make posts from it... and it will atract people to make more games up... aslo

IT"LL BE A LAUGH... And fun :p
