Beating the dead horse

Wed Sep 2, 2009, 4:45 PM
I tried my best for almost 5 years now, but it's time to come to terms with the fact that my precious forum is dead. While I would love to point the finger at the community, it's not entirely their fault. Most of them showed up there as a result of another forum suddenly vanishing from the internet, and myself being a moderator there opened the doors to these refugees. Once TimeSpltters4.net came to be, those splitters fans more or less left, and rightfully so.

There are SO MANY graphics and art forums out there already that are far more established and well known that it's a really hard category to pry into and be successful. I do pride myself in the fact we lasted as long as we did, seeing many competitors rise and fade along our journey.

Once you realize that there is no community, and 80% of the topics and posts are coming from yourself, it's time to let it go. I've 'revived' the boards so many times only to watch them fade again, and I'm done with it. We had a good run, I had some fun times. I got to meet some great people who where very talented and creative, and that makes me smile. It's time to move on though, I have other things and projects in my life to focus on

:wow: Whoa! I happened to stumble across a skin layout you made. AWESOME! I'd love to make myself a website layout but I'm not good with the codes. Do you know any really good places I could go to learn how the code operates?
:icondrksnpr14:
Which forum software are you using?

In general, it's just finding what parts of the CSSs stylesheet effect what, and inserting the proper colours and images where they go.
