In the present day, supernatural creatures have revealed their existance and struggle for acceptance. Supernaturals from all over the world flock to the UK for the basic rights and freedoms all should be allowed. As a result, the British countries have become forerunners in adjusting to a world where creatures of myth live like anybody else, with much of Europe slowly attempting to follow in their footsteps.
It's me! Here to nag all of you who pay attention to shit for your ideas.
You'll notice very very soon that the skin we have will get a new coat of paint. Don't worry, for now it's nothing too drastic. To be honest in addition to giving the site a bit of a refresher your friendly neighbourhood skinner also needed to give herself a refresher course on how all the crap works. But I'm more or less up to speed now and IT IS TIME TO GET THE BIG IDEAS ROLLING.
I would like to reskin Etiterum for the fall/winter season, but as usual there's not much going on up in that head of mine so I have to tap my bros for ideas and thoughts and stuff you want to see.
SO. How you can help is simple. Just fucking jot down as many ideas you have for a new skin. I don't care if they all don't work together, if they've been done before or if you're not sure they even can be done. I hope to quilt the ideas that work best together to make Etiterum's new clothes and keep as many people happy as I reasonable can. Tell me what you like in skins: what you like about this one or what you think would be better or cool to try. If you have any thoughts about a design or layout you want to see executes, draw it up! I want to also encourage you to submit background ideas, neat patterns or palettes for a new skin, because this time we will be hoping to get away from the darks and move somewhere a bit brighter!
I'd like to start working on this ASAP, so don't be afraid of posting your knee-jerk reactions/thoughts so I can take off running and then coming back later to add more or change your mind.
Kay gonna stop now and refresh madly while I wait for responses!
OKAY HERE'S THE FUN PART. TIME TO VOTE. This year, I've allowed voters to pick MULTIPLE answers. That being said, please do not exceed TWO. If you do I'll have to exclude your vote and that's more work for me so please just do the thing
Do you like entering data and seeing it represented visually? Me too! So the following is a values chart inspired by tumblr shit to use at your whims, plzplzplz edit only in BBCode mode because nothing else will work I promise you. the values can go from 10-500, and in order to change them, change the WIDTH PROPERTY that is right before the trait in question. Okay? Okay. Proboards makes this looks stupid than it's supposed to //shakes fist, but the values (as you will see when editing) are as follows: Health, Strength, Appearance, Sex, Possesions, Love, Attention, Appreciation, Security, Approval, Family, Belonging, Respect, Intimacy, Friendship, Inner-peace, Purpose, Independence, Growth and Acceptance.[break][break]
If you're comfortable, feel free to edit colours/fonts, just do not remove little credit text kthx.
A beautiful little sunset. Talk to trees, look at the birds. Whatever it takes. Let's put some happy little clouds in our world. In your imagination you can go anywhere you want. Maybe there's a happy little waterfall happening over here. Put it in, leave it alone.
Just use the old one inch brush. Anytime you learn something your time and energy are not wasted. Just let this happen. We just let this flow right out of our minds. La- da- da- da- dah. Just be happy. This is probably the greatest thing to happen in my life - to be able to share this with you.
This piece of canvas is your world. Didn't you know you had that much power? You can move mountains. You can do anything. Let's build an almighty mountain.
Just a happy little shadow that lives in there. Isn't that fantastic? You can just push a little tree out of your brush like that. You can get away with a lot. Follow the lay of the land. It's most important. Nice little fluffy clouds laying around in the sky being lazy. Be so very light. Be a gentle whisper.

I don't want to wait take anything
Don't seek my trust. Horse don't run with a broken leg. This town is a dirty crime,. Well here we go. It ain't easy. So our suicide will be a cry that she's homesick of. You're a Paper Girl with Paper Eyes, you're a Paper Crop. And if you want money in your coffee. Don't let her know that your feelings aren't for fun. And if you think it's your turn to ask a question, well it's not. You loved me like a doctor. I watched a stranger fuch the love of my life. I'm on the wrong side of this story. I don't want a wasted mind. Angel, get inside
Watch her fall in line. You don't look pretty when you smile. Skipping rolling papers.. Stunt men only die when they're not in love. Save the gun for our son,. And his apologies. Seems that we deal with things a bit differently. Loving ain't just living. Come the regrets. Don't ask a question. Crawl across the floor.. We'll never let you know. I misplaced myself this time. But his stories fill a room. Don't let her know that your feelings are for everyone
I went to the kitchen and looked at a knife. This is what you were made for.. With the morning. Your clothes soaking wet. Come early in the afternoon. At the end of the night. I borrowed a car you found yer saturday. I don't want to waste your time. Seems that I deal with things a bit differently. So don't smile at all. If you're quiet she'll go, lights are on the stage. Angel, take a ride. Angel, lock the door.. To brave this course of mine.. Don't let her know that favourite colours change

Think about a cloud. Just float around and be there. They say everything looks better with odd numbers of things. But sometimes I put even numbers—just to upset the critics. That's a son of a gun of a cloud.
Nothing wrong with washing your brush. I get carried away with this brush cleaning. In your world you can create anything you desire. It's cold, but it's beautiful.
In nature, dead trees are just as normal as live trees. See how easy it is to create a little tree right in your world. Don't fight it, use what happens. There are no limits in this world. You can do anything here. So don't worry about it. Don't be bashful drop me a line.
Okay so last year around Valentine's Day I made you all take a list of our members and write one nice thing about them, whether you knew them or not. All those nice things were put on a list and sent to the person they were meant for anonymously. It seemed to go over well, and we've got a little over a month until valentine's day, SO GUESS WHAT IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN!
It's real simple, take the list below of all our members and write something nice about them! It can be something you like about them, something you admire or a memory you're fond of. It can be one or two words, a full sentence or a full paragraph, whatever feels right to you! If you don't know them that well, it's a good time to try to get to know them! Look at their characters, their writing, watch them in the cbox, because the one rule is you can't leave anyone blank.
When you've finished your list, email it to me, KAIBRA . These will be sent out on Valentine's day (but this doesn't mean you have to treat your writing like valentines unless you want to) so they must be done before then. To recap, they must be done by February 13th, 2016.
The list here is taken from the Meet the Players! If you notice someone's missing, let me know ASAP!

Yes yes our of the year voting is on its way! Expect the polls up in the next few days, BUT in interest of keeping things fresh, we will need a few suggestions for the MOST LIKELY TO category. Last year we had such gems as "most likely to get arrested" and "most likely to become a clown"
Suggest as many as you like and can think of, and we will pick the ones we think would get some good nominations!
Late thought but if you are wanting to try having more room for mini profiles, maybe try a hand at tabbed MP's?
Entirely possible, but i'm not sure what else would be wanted on the mini-profiles to put in said tab. What kind of fields would be included that we don't already have and if people would actually fill them out P: But this is a thing that could happen!
looking at our boards we have a good amount of categories with four boards, maybe we could do four side-by-side boards per row? it would shorten the length of the forum like you wouldn't believe tho.
But do we prefer stacked boards or side-by-side boards? I'm down with either //searches out more input
We can fo def do click to toggle, then folks can choose whether it's displayed or not.
I'm thinking about shoving just about everything extra-info wise in a hover bar that is fixed at the top of the screen, if people are interested in discussing that/want to know what I mean I can scribble up a mockup.
Otherwise how do we feel about board layouts? Do we prefer stacked lists or side by side? Do we like the subboard layouts/ have any ideas for effects/hovers/cool things you want to see?
//getting really excited with all this feedback thanks so much <3
ALL NEW DIMENSIONS AND EVERYONE JUST GO TO CROW FOR NEW IMAGES YESSSSSS
as an aside, would we be okay is the chatbox was a click-to-toggle on the side? or a hover? Like it would be hidden unless you clicked a button or hovered over a button?
