Hmm Menu Options!! You know how many components a 'Gaming' Board has?

I have by default - 8 Links but I sacrificed some default links (eg. help)

Homepage
Forums
IP Gallery
Ib Arcade
Ib Market
Donate
Members
Search


Why was the Gamr skin all that? Because of the background I think and the nice headers.
Why was the Gameover skin a hit? Because of its nice lighting effects.

I really like the Cat Headers on this site but its footer is a shame

That is all I can think of now.

Oh yeah and this is an ipb board....you cant even tell it is

The problem is that these kind of layouts are very outdated. I would like to make a more "2009" kind of WoW skin but I doubt fans would like it (and buy it).

Who wants a Christmas skin?!

I talked with lots of WoW-friends and they would like a new WoW skin idea (I thing you can figure something...u always do). Since Blizzard is updating the game with new features and expansions to keep-up the game so many years, i think it would be easy to make a new (special) skin for WoW fansites.

Check the 3rd idea of skin. Its a new DotA style game, which is BETA for now, and it have really awesome graphics.(check Youtube).

Christmas skins are only for 2 months. I dont really like them.

It seems IP.Board 3.1 will focus heavily on more social features such as the improved profile/status page. So why not make a clean skin that resembles Facebook? :)

Why not :) Not sure if it's sellable though.

Great! :)

Well you dont have to make a facebook clone. Just a simple theme that looks and behave similar to Facebook.

As an xbox 360 gamer, i have an xbox 360 clan site where a group of friends fro around the world play against other clans from around the world, mainly G/B for us though.

Many i know have vbulletin forums and some xbox 360 themes would be great, say Moder Warfare 2, Halo 3,GOW 1/2 just as some ideas

You can make a skin like that ---> http://loswonderkids...unity/index.php

It is pretty cool. Basic, small and useful...

This is actually something I've been meaning to do for some time. Now with the release of the IPB3.1 mobile skin it will be a lot easier.

Maybe we could create mobile skins for some of our best sellers to offer an added value to the skins. :)
