How much do you think it costs to run this site? The server bill alone every month is right at $700.

Your vendors must get a deal for their banner ads. Those ads alone should generate $700 a month. But I'm going on what the company I work for doing just that stuff, charges.

I dont really have anything to do with all that.
We've upgraded servers I think 3 times, each time going to something more powerful and for a while its okay then we grow some more and all of a sudden we're underpowered again. Im hoping going back to "out of the box" VB will help with some of that.

Shane-
IMO you could ask us and we will all give you a different answer.
I like it the way it is, Orange, Black, Yellow etc.
Whatever you do you won't run me off so do what you guys think is best.

not a bad idea at all. or even just pay $5 or $10 and just have your picture put up. you know there is going to be issues if it was a voting thing.

The current scheme (while some may say is dated)
is VERY readable..
Nothing worse than red or deep blue text on black.
Looks cool but torments the eyes after a few pages.
Busy isn't better.

I like it the way it is. But a few tweaks on apperance here and there would be a coll change as well.
The time on the search being shortened from 45 seconds would be great!
Also from the main homepage you cant check you PM's you have to go into the board to check it.

I will see if the original photoshop files are still around, I had them on a disk but have not seem them for a while, I have not looked either . When I did this color layout I got more hate mail than I could believe. My suggestion leave the colors alone, update the top mural to someting a little more current maybe even one that chages on refresh like ls1gto.com, get rid of the orange to yellow gradient which is realy what make the board look dated that was a hot trend at the time when it was done. Then it would have the "classic" tb.com look but still be fresh and current.

use the Drudge Report as your inspiration- black text, white background. maybe add the yellow and orange here and there just because... no silly images anywhere- especially in people's sig lines.
lean and mean is the way to go,even in this day and age of broadband everywhere.
