Welcome our Newest Staff Member - Darth-Apple - March 21st, 2020
Hello Makestation Community,
We have decided to invite Lain onboard as our new designer/design assistant! His work with the dark design was great and many of you guys have spoken very positively of it. He will now have full access to our theme base and will be joining to help us maintain and improve them.
Simlink and I made this theme back in 2014. We have been using it with incremental improvements ever since. As such, we do not plan a full redesign of the website, but we will be making continued improvements during the coming months. The primary focus is responsiveness and modernization, as well as some bug fixes and improvements. We expect a cleaner, better, and more modern design to emerge over the next few months!
Also, to Station Green users: Would you like to see a modernized version of the design based on the current designs? Core T7 and Station Green are still maintained, but these are very old versions of our design and are not mobile-friendly. That said, they are more streamlined and we would like to keep at least one lightweight theme for the forums, so please give us feedback on what you think and what you would like to see!

We are going to be starting an official blog in the next two months or so. Won't share too many details yet, but stay tuned. Going to start expanding MS beyond just being a forum.

Primarily, it's going to be curated "best content" that gets posted here. We're going to organize it into a website with tutorials and some other things. We'll also post a little exclusive content on there.
It's going to start off small and we're gonna go from there, so it won't be anything too drastic at first. The goal is to have a "parent website" that has features and content that doesn't really work well with forum software. We're gonna need some editors once it gets kicked off!
Also, we're working on integrating Wordpress with MyBB, so one single sign-in will grant access on both. Stay tuned for more.
