Well if no-one is going to request anything here, I'll just use it for announcements. I've overhauled a load of forums, with various changes including:
  • Roleplay forums condensed
  • Internal Affairs forum created
  • Media and Information -> Media and Communication, moved to the Government section
  • The World un-nested from M&C, moved to its original position in the NationStates section
  • Regional & World Statistics forum created, sub-forum to The World
Feedback, abuse and random comments are welcome.

Since it was raised on irc - if you think the "recent news" bit at the top needs updating with something, feel free to request it here.

It gets lonely in this thread sometimes :P

The problem with that is it doesn't record the messages past a certain cut-off point. We've also got the irc channel for chat.

Can you upload a darker theme, maybe black?

Possibly, though it's not a priority. I don't like having several, as it means you have to check that everything looks good in all of them (especially with the board header/banners).

It's been done :P

And while that was just for CG's Office, I used the theme again (with hearts around everyone's names) for Valentine's Day.

This may have been here already but Shoutbox?

Or do you have the problem of it deleting past a certain point?

IRC works it just involves more browser space for me :P

I said no to a shoutbox somewhere, but can't find that post. Basically it deletes messages, and we have the irc channel anyway, so I'd rather not enable it.

Completely removed the news section, which wasn't all that useful anyway, and added a bit more about the region, as well as expanded the list of Officials. It still needs some re-working, but at least it's not out-of-date any more.

OK, I got lazy... if you're still interested in that, could you find an example or two of a dark blue/black theme that you'd like? It should fit in with the banner, and the forum width should be similar, so the header works on it too.

http://s1.zetaboards.com/Outline/forum/1675066/ <- might be a good place to look.
