So anyone who's looked at the front page by now will have noticed a facelift. That's not all that'll get done though. Prox suggested I might could fit some news in there if I shift the gear over, so I might just do that . . ! There will also be a section for comics since there are some without a home now.
In any case, if you've got an idear or suggestion about anything on the site, this is the place to stick it. Even if it doesn't get used exactly as you suggested, it might lead to other ideas, so it's all worth hearing.
-
Maybe, just maybe, you could change the rounded rectangle thumbnails in the middle of the green gear. I was thinking maybe a circle shape with a border similar to the green gear would fit a little better, but then there's the problem of where to put the text.
-
The only reason I used the square ones is just because I already had them, to tell you the truth. I'm gonna fidget with the size of the gear anyhow, so I might be able to make the images appear circular in the center of the gear.
-
Here are a couple of design ideas I quickly made for you guys to get the idea of what I was thinking of. I don't know how good they are and how easy they'd be to make, but that's not up to me, is it..!?!+

Belive it or not, our orriginal idea was for a spinning cog. Unfortunately without diving into flash there really isn't a good reliable way to make things spin. You can make move in a circle, but they keep their orientation.
I still think mabey the newspost should be on the left. My mouse is always over there for most sites anyway, so even if I'm right handed, its more ergonomic to have it on the left. This is just me, of course.
The internet is the revenege of left handed people, I swar~
-
I dunno Boris, I like the right-handed-ness it is a challenge to all things internety. It is a bold statement. The main page does seem a bit empty though... Perhaps put the icons down the left side of the cog as well as on top, not two of each, but spread them out more. Just an idea.
-
This isnt exactly a website thing but maybe since we have been this loyal to this website, maybe there should be in a comic with everyones pic with sprites doing eandom crap.
-
If anyone else thinks that thats a good idea, I'd happily whip up some sort of animation where they do stuff for 5 minutes and appear to have done absolutely nothing.
-
The reason those heads are in the comic section is because they're in a comic in the comic section. Samus is in Boris' Metroid Chronicles, Gordon is in Gordon, Vito is in Hindisght, Fyber is in Fyber assist, and Boris is going to be in a comic that He, Fyber, and I have been discussing that will sort of star all three of us, but wno knows when it'll ever get made.
-
*makes his own orriginal comics* They are called: Bluejay Chronicles, Blordon, Bluesight, and Bluejay assist. They are my own orriginal ideas.... I swear...
-
You could add a forum. This place needs one of them.
-
That's good thinkin, I'll get right on it!
-
I would like to be able to get tons of spam from this site, please get sponsorship andburden my inbox with spam asking if my penis needs lengthening.
-
(answer: yes)
-
/uses helium to enlargen Boris' penis to the size of an eggplant
-
:o, what the fuck! You stuffed a baby in there!
-
More like a homunculus.
-
I did no such thing.. the baby went into his anus so he could experience the joys of child-birth.
-
Mysto... Not to be rude or anything, but please red the rules?
-
Actualy, Mysto posted that before the rules went up.
-
Oh. But it's still the most obvious spam I've ever seen.
Oh, and by the way. I'd love it if the forum didn't resize your avatar to 100 x 100 pixels, you know... That way you can have smaller avatars without it getting distorted.
-
I looked in the options, it seems to only let me set the maximum size, not the minimum.
-
I didn't even notice it had added a few pixels to my avatar until Iddi said that. Weird.
-
Wow. Boris has a gigantic chin now.
-
He aye peanuts, and as we all know Boris is allergic to peanuts.
-
Really?
-
So can any of us here draw? I miss a few things from the Labs, like an art section, the back story, spug shock, rope jampery.... Fyber could you re-edit wich sprites are used in rope jampery? You know, make them some of the regulars here, like you, Vito and Boris or something?
-
I can draw some stuff in flash when it's needed.
-
I could either draw, or maybe help with programming, if you're using BASIC or C. Or I could do math stuff, if you needed help with that for some reason.
-
Im pretty good at skeching
-
I'm a talentless hack, so I'll just sit around and make inappropriate comments.

I'm one that needs to work off those holiday pounds...
And Spug Shock can be kept nearly as is! Just remove the "You won X DiBs" part. That or instate a currency system to Fy-tech...*Gets creepy stares from many others, especially Armature*...Which I doubt will happen.

Why especially me? HUH?
Edit: I don't check this topic often.
-
put this on front page lol
-
You know... it wasn't that good in the other topic(s) you posted it in.
-
I'm not sure it will even do well on April 1...

Girl is here....... (http://sundown.greyledge.net/pages/images/stfu_50.jpg)
-
Shadow, for once in your life of posting retarded pictures, I give you a 10/10.
-
I fully agree with the rating...
-
Good finds on the pics. Say Fyber didn't you bann ass wipe, I mean Girl is Here already? Are we on round two? Seriously if you havn't gotten our message yet it's simply this:
GET THE FUCK OUT DIP SHIT
-
Or, in case you can't fuck... just get out.
-

Shadow... honestly.... stop, please.
-
You may think you're funny, but you're snot.
-
The same can be said about ewe.
-
Hi, people. I've been absent, but I'm trying to be back.
I second what someone said a few pages ago, I miss an art section. And maybe a comic section, if someone does that anymore.
-
there is a comics section... no art yet.
-
Ah, right. It's been a while since I was here. But yah, an art section would rule.
-
We need to make art first. I'm no artist, so I'm out.
-
My amasing polymathery allows me creae art, among other things.
-
I can sketch pretty well, but I can't ink or color worth two shits.
-
I can color just fine with the magic wand tool. I need to learn how to use Layers.
-
I can draw, just not colors
-
I can shade like nobody's buisness. I can copy most any picture you put in front of me, but freestyle I suck.
-
SO HOW ABOUT THEM WEBSITE SUGGESTIONS?
-
I think that Fybertech should have some kind of long-term project that anyone can contribute to. Maybe some kind of comic, divided into chapters or segments or something. The cast and plot for each segment would be decided, and then we would work out the details of each panel. Maybe something like a combination of Comic Jam and forum RPs, where the GM would select people to make panels for certain scenes. Also, I was thinking about making some adventures for DOZ, but I'm realy not sure where to start with that (or even how to get it to work), and I realy don't have much time to work on it right now because of homework for buisness college. I'll try to gat something started myself, but I wanted to let you know what I'm planning to do.
-
I've had this very same though, but it never pans out. There just isn't enough community interest, nevertheless if you get some other support, I'd probably contribute once in a blue moon when I have time.
-
Oekeki? That drawing thing. You could use that to fill in portraits for the Wiki.
-
Speaking of Wiiki, how to find it. Link it on main page or soemthing?
-
Boris made like an unofficial one at http://boris.fybertech.com/wiki , though I had thought of making a general wiki for the site which contains datas about everything Fybertech, not just De Novo. WHAT THINK?
-
I think so, or at least some stuff about Defenders of Zentax.
Edit: I think it would be a good idea to make a Squidoo (http://www.squidoo.com) page about Fybertech stuff.
-
put this on front page lol
what is with you? it is just stupid to post that...
-
Just so you know, Girl is here is now not here.
-
that's good. I was tired of her.
-
You didn't know "her"
-
it looks like s/he is back, under a different, unrecognizable identity.
-
*Bluejay adds a 2 to his name to be inconspicuous*
-
I think it's high time to put a limit on the number of news posts that can appear at once on the front page. Not like it's really a bad thing to have 30 posts displayed all at once, but still.
-
It's true. I've been meaning to do it, so for a quick fix I limited it to just limited it to 10 posts total and put a link to the Latest News board.
-
Is there a way to increase the signature character limit. As you can see I have a new siggy, I have a little more than just those but it won't let me have more.
-
In the links section, Sprites Inc changes their url, and the link to Opera still says version 8 instead of 9.
-
I just noticed the Opera 8 thing a few days ago myself, but didn't realize Sprites Inc had changed, so I'll monkey with those things.
Also I don't know exactly what you mean about the signature limit, Altzan. You mean more image space, or text space, or what?
-
I mean the text limit. The code for displaying an image is long and I need more text to do it.
-
Get a better sig btw.
-
I updated those link buttons, and also increased the sig character limit, but I hope that's just to accommodate a larger url and not a whole bunch of junks to clutter up the pages with. I've seen some people on other forums with practically a Myspace page worth of crap crammed in there.
-
How about I make a bunch of suggestoins for things I think would be nice but don't really have to happen, ever? ALLRIGHT LET'S DO IT!
I'd like Fytunes to show total playtime length next to number of veiws, and, for 4get, an option that makes clicking on an image take me straight to it's veiw page, instead of making it pop up, a way of marking images NSFW (with special tags, maybe?) such that they won't show up if you're not somehow approved (I don't really mind, I just thought you might want to consider that now that you're linking to it form the front page.)

That'd require reading the MP3 data to find the song length, which is something I wanted to be able to do eventually anyway to read ID3 tags, but I'd have to figure out how all that is stored in the files first.
and, for 4get, an option that makes clicking on an image take me straight to it's veiw page, instead of making it pop up, a way of marking images NSFW (with special tags, maybe?) such that they won't show up if you're not somehow approved (I don't really mind, I just thought you might want to consider that now that you're linking to it form the front page.)
Adding in an option to make images open to the view page is certainly doable, I just didn't realize anyone preferred that method over the default, since the view page always felt a bit sloppy to me. As for marking NSFW, I'd like to actually have real tags for the content (which would allow a NSFW tag), and a separate description. The current "tags" are more of a description, which usually doesn't do a good job of letting you search for an image, since you can put anything for it. Actual tags would be single words reflective of the content. But that's a bit more involved than the simple description-like method now so it'd take some wark and possibly/probably slow down the software to process tags for everything.

I vote for this one.

AND THIS
-
Perhaps some way for members to collect their favorite 4get images.
some sort of journal section (Deck tried this by just taking a section I believe)
FyCon '03 to happen finally.
-
You were at FyCon '03, actually, but that whole reality paradox thing happened when you were in the bathroom.
I guess if I implement the thumbs up/down system then people could be able to list everything they've thumbs-upped before.
-
Fybertech iPhone app plz
-
So LSP, what do you think of these forums, please be honest.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLalkPLKdtw[/youtube]
Fyber, LSP says this is lame.
-
I don't know about you but I'm having a fun time.
-
Is the chat down for anyone else?
I suggest letting me reach the chat, please. Could be some weird thing on my end, though.
Edit: From looking at 4get, looks like it's just me. I tried on another computer too, with no luck, so I guess my mom's internet provider hates IRC or something.
-
My new laptop runs ubuntu. HELP I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ANYTHING! I guess what I'm saying is I cannot access chat on this new lappy, and I don't remember how to get irc set up.
-
The chat uses Java, so installing that might make that work.
As for IRC, I don't know what to tell you. If Ubuntu doesn't come with a chat client automatically then you'll have to look in the software installer thinger and try to find one. Look for something like XChat maybe. The IRC server would just be fybertech.com, standard ports (like 6667).
