Should I start a music forum?


There are enough threads discussing music right now - might not be a bad idea :)

Do I need to discuss it with you guys?
Like the name or something - or do I just go ahead and do it and make the name whatever I like?

That should do it. And then you have to go change every single user's setting so they can see, post, edit and all that good stuff in that forum. A MAJOR pain in the ass to start a new forum on a private board! :P

música es muy importante - need it just to live ;)




:neutral: remind me not to try and speak languages I haven't spoken in more than two years. You should hear it when I try to speak russian :Q Been about six years since I've spoken that.

Hablas español, Estel? :Q

I had no idea... I'll bump my Spanish thread in the Turf! :D

Hablo muy poco. También un poco francés, ruso y en holandés, algunas palabras.


errr, yeah - don't know if that was right at all :roll:

I'm really quite bad. I can understand faaaar better than I can speak, but only when it is spoken - printed... pfffft - I'm screwed when it comes to reading.

I was in Brussels at one point, and the waitress at the cafe I was at didn't speak any English at all, so we were getting along in Spanish (which she didn't speak, but could understand better than English) and Dutch (in which I only know about 8 sentences, most of which deal with love, lol). The best was when I wanted some sparkling water, and I couldn't remember if it was "con gas" or "sin gas." I ended up telling her "agua con el apperance de champagne." :LMAO: and ending the whole thing with thanks in Dutch.

I'm the opposite of you Estel. I can read other languages okay, but I'm totally screwed when it comes to speaking or writing it!

I can't even imagine being able to read well in other languages - if it's not incredibly simple, I have to reference it.


What do you guys think about adding a couple different board styles for people to choose from? I've been looking at some, and there are some really lovely ones - like Artemis Red among others :P

Can styles be chosen from by individual users? I peek on B77 quite a bit from work (*ahem*) and would like to keep it as grey and discreet as possible... :D

As for other languages, I can read and get the gist of French and Italian. But my brain does a funny thing when I speak French; for me, English is the "default foreign language", so when I can't think of a French word, I unconsciously stick in the English equivalent. And all of it steeped in a mix of Inspector Clouseau French and Kindergarten English accents. :LMAO: Makes for interesting conversations... more or less like the one you had, Estel. :D

:LMAO:

I do that sometimes as well. I can't tell you how many times I would be in my Spanish class, and not be able to think of a word, and the russian word, of all things, would pop into my head. I remember being really really flustered one day, and in the greeting we had to give to the whole class every day... well, lets just say that I managed to do two sentences in four languages :damnfunny


As for the appearance - I'm pretty positive that each person can choose their own appearance - it's in the profile now, but the only option is subsilver. Shall I add a couple? Or do we want to experiment with non-admin members on the experiment board first, and see if it can actually be changed in the profile?

Probably the latter, but I need more coffee before I can think that clearly, lol.

Yes, each user can choose their own styles.

I was starting to look at which styles we could add since holby had requested that we do so.

I'll look too - it's such a long list.

There is about 100 styles, so how bout this - Eru, you look at the first 25, I'll look at the second, Ber can look at the third and Griff at the forth.

We'll come back here say, in two days, with the names of the styles we like or think others would like, and narrow it down to... 10? styles that people can choose from.

Yes, no? sound good? :P

I looked at about 66 styles, and will post about it in the business forum :)

I am starting to think about making this a little project, since I have already put so much time into it - kinda like you did with the smilies Eru.

I'm going to look at the rest of the styles tomorrow, and post about them in the same thread in the business forum. Really ask people to check out the experimental board to see if there are any styles they particularily like, and add them here.

I've already added one style choice to this board that I really liked and am going to use for myself. Hopefully others will give their input as well, and we can get some nice choices for the board :)

Hope all this is ok with you guys.
