No one ever entered though. =/ That's why Kay closed it.

hmmm... expand onn some stuff maybe? whatt makes SSD so popular? maybee because its a pb featured site. maybe it hsa good resources? maybe there aree interestingg topics there?

what makes the new g101's activity so good? there's a new skin? (but thats only temporary). all of the staff embmers are working together? they have been opened for a long time maybe?

ive had an acitivity problem with my old forum so i had to close it. it neverr had good activei staff members, it was mainly me and another adminn.

sz might need somethigng new, but i dont know what

yeah a friend of mine sent me an email and it was in that email so i HAD to do it...lol

Well, those ideas all work, but SSD is great because its the "official" design forum of ProBoards. It also has a premier spot on the main ProBoards website, was the original, therefore has been around longest, and they have constant references by other sites to go there.

Who knows.

As for G101.... I don't know.

Just to add...
The reason I first joined was because every major PB coder was here for the most part. Topics were active, new coding threads were made daily, as well as open source stuff that was cool.

All that seems to have died down now, but you guys used to have the best coding section...

ditto

yeah but you have to think.... codes only come with new ideas.. and if coders run out of ideas.. then they get stuck ... main projects you can't have new ideas because its hard to get originality in your programs/codes therefore once the originality goes.. the codes get boring.. because we've seen it all before.. unless you get new ideas the codes go down in reputation... its the same with graphics... i've had no ideas for my abstract stuff now because its all gone.. i've gone back onto photomanips and even them i've scraped ideas from what i've done before... what we really need is originality and that is not a very easy thing to get... because if we start a new trend.. everyone will start following suit... and it becomes boring again

There are still tons of original topics that can be made. People just need to post links when they see interesting stuff, and the likes. I suppose I could write some articles to be commented on, we'll see about that. Also, there are tons of codes to be made as well as extended/used. All the ones in the open source board can be used to make new and better ones.

Well, we could always start a community project, but that's pretty much what "Project Zero" is, except, its a select few. =/

Which really isn't a community project. More like "a select few" project

I understand Except, its a select few of the community.

But yeah, I've come up with a few good project ideas recently, for codes and for SZ, and I plan to put them into effect after I finish Hidden Board Management.

As for topics being made, if I had any ideas, I'd surely attempt it. =/ But the last one I made on a purely coding topic received two replies. One by CJ, and then the sole post of Hechizero on the board. It was "Negative-width Look Ahead" I believe. Something like that.

it was originally made for anyone who wanted to get involved... i didn't pick anyone to help you all offered and the offer is open to anyone else who wishes to help code it

Hmm...a few things that could help:

A Forum Magazine
SZ Version 2
Some redone images
More Codes
More Images

---

Magazine:
--This will definitely increase activity and help increase member participation in what goes on in the forum.

Version 2:
--Well, it's obvious. New skins always help a little bit, though it's still too early for v2.

Redone Images:
--There used to be alot of complaining before about the images, and though it's died down, some redone images with more freshness would help. Maybe a bit "newer" looking images for some change.

More Codes:
--This will draw in many more members if your DB is bigger.

More Images:
--Refer to the above.
