Have a theme you've designed for a website or for forum/blog software? Feel free to show us here!

As for my theme, the default theme for makestation is mine. I figure that since you guys are seeing it on a live site I need not post a screenshot. Tongue

  MyBB vs SMF - the debate begins!
Posted by: Darth-Apple - July 22nd, 2013 at 12:20 AM - Forum: MyBB Related - Replies (6)

As most of you guys probably know, Makestation just recently converted to MyBB, for various reasons. MyBB has met our needs much better for the community, but there are still some areas where SMF has the advantage.

So the debate begins now. Be sure to vote in the poll!

  Have a competition or contest suggestion?
Posted by: Darth-Apple - July 21st, 2013 at 11:44 PM - Forum: Community Related - Replies (9)

Makestation is, as always, looking for ideas from the community. If you have a neat contest idea and would like some official support from the administration, feel free to post your ideas here!

Even if it's terribly weird, it might (just maybe) be a great way of engaging the community. Big Grin

  Contest #1: The makestation posting contest
Posted by: Darth-Apple - July 21st, 2013 at 11:42 PM - Forum: Announcements - Replies (15)

This one is pretty simple. Whoever is the top poster from July 21 to August 11th (roughly three weeks) will be awarded a badge for winning the contest, and their project journal (or any thread of their choice) will be stickied for the next month.

Obviously, if your posts are generally very spam-like in nature, you will be at risk for disqualification. So far everyone here has written some great content, so I'm not really too worried about it. Big Grin

Best of luck to everyone!

  MyBB now powers Makestation
Posted by: Darth-Apple - July 21st, 2013 at 8:21 PM - Forum: Announcements - Replies (18)

Welcome back! As you may have noticed, the community looks quite different. We've just completed a conversion to MyBB and are running on our very own, custom designed theme. The new makestation also features the beta version of our very own advanced profiles, and we have many great new features as a part of the conversion.

All posts, users, and everything else was seamlessly converted, and there were no issues. Unlike the conversion to SM4, users do not have to deal with annoying password resets. Everything went very smoothly, so I don't expect any hiccups as a part of the conversion.

Let us know what you think!

I created this website a few days ago. I created it for 2 reasons - 1) I really like to talk about self improvement, 2) I want to make money.

Feel free to give me suggestions or feedback.

  Paradox Development Studio
Posted by: Acko - July 20th, 2013 at 7:35 PM - Forum: Other Games - No Replies

Paradox Development Studio is a Swedish developer best known for Europa Universalis. I myself have a slight addiction to EU3 Tongue. Here's a rough outline of all of their series(es):

Europa Universalis (EU): A Grand Strategy based on the period of 1492-1792 (EU1, EU2), 1453-1792 (EU3), 1453-1821 (EU3:NA), 1399-1821 (EU3:IN). Pretty much a mix of all the rest, combining a rather simplified government, economics, military, and colonization system. Without this game, the rest probably wouldn't exist. EU2 has a spin-off, Europa Universalis: Crown of the North. This is a game based off of the predecessor to EU1, Svea Rike III. EU3 has 4 expansions: Napoleon's Ambition (Revolutions, timeline extended to 1821), In Nomine (1399 start, some other things), Heir to the Throne (Better HRE, Better casus belli), Divine Wind (Shogunate, Hordes, many stuff in Asia improved). EU4 is set for release on August 13th, has a timeline of 1444-1800ish.

Hearts of Iron (HoI): A Grand Strategy set from 1936-1947 (HoI1, HoI2, HoI3), 1936-1964 (HoI2: Armageddon). The period of WW2 and early cold war. Has a focus on military and diplomacy, and historical accuracy (More scripted events then say, EU or Vicky). HoI2 has two expansions: Doomsday (Expands upon post WW2, even nuclear war between allies and soviets!), Armageddon (Extends end date to 1964, some fantasy scenarios). HoI3 has three expansions: Semper Fi (Orders of battle), For the Motherland! (War goals, better espionage, performance improvements), Their Finest Hour (Many changes).

Victoria (Vicky): A Grand Strategy set from 1837-1935 (Vicky 2, not sure about Vicky or Vicky:Rev). Has a focus on economics and colonization. Two expansions for Victoria II, A House Divided (American Civil War), and Heart of Darkness (Colonization improvements).

Crusader Kings (CK): A Grand Strategy-Sims-etc. set from 1066-1453 (CK, CK2). Has a focus on feudalism, character building, dynastic issues. Set only in Europe, Maghreb, and Arabia. CK has one expansion: Deus Vult (MANY bug fixes). CK2 has several expansions: Sword of Islam (Play as islamic rulers), Legacy of Rome (Focus on Byzantine/Eastern Roman Empire), The Republic (Makes Merchant Republics playable), The Old Gods (867 beginning, play as pagans). Additionally, Sunset Invasion is a DLC scenario which adds a hypothetical Aztec invasion of Europe.

Other games (one-offs):
EU: Rome: Game set from 280-27 BC. Play as the Roman Republic or other nations of Europe at the time. Has a slight focus on character building and senates.
Sengoku: A feudal japan version of Crusader Kings.
March of the Eagles: Napoleonic-era game. Set from 1800-1821.

Since most of these games can make a continuous timeline (Or can with easy modding), one could hypothetically play a 'mega-campaign' (CK->EU->MoTE*->Vicky->HOI). March of the Eagles and HoI, however, aren't very alt-hist friendly. If you are looking for a good mega-campaign, consider checking out one of these Wiz LPs:
Islam is the Light (Hopefully SA's paywall isn't up lol Tongue)
House Hohenzollern Rising
Hohenzollern is already finished, and is actually pretty dated. Islam is the Light is still going on, and he is currently in the process of converting from March of the Eagles to Victoria II. Also, don't take the faux islamic nationalism in that thread seriously, it's part of the RP'ing experience Tongue.

Here is a network of Paradox wikis: http://paradoxwikis.com/

You can buy these games on either GamersGate or Steam.

Also, I might even start my own megacampaign LP. So keep watch, this thread might become Piast Dreams: The rise of Poland Big Grin.

  Interesting myBB theme
Posted by: Darth-Apple - July 20th, 2013 at 3:38 PM - Forum: MyBB Related - Replies (11)

I found this on the MyBB official forums, and thought it was definitely a very interesting myBB theming project. I figured I'd share the link. It's a must read for all myBB users for sure.

  MyBB conversion work has begun
Posted by: Darth-Apple - July 18th, 2013 at 4:17 PM - Forum: Announcements - Replies (20)

Hello fellow members of the community,

I have begun work on designing the new version of Makestation, which will be powered by MyBB. After running a poll and asking members, it seems that the community is interested in the conversion, and I think that it will help us significantly as the community grows.

MyBB is much easier to use from an administrator's standpoint as well, so I expect that the new version of makestation will be ready within about one week or so. I don't have any information on downtime info yet, but I do not expect very much downtime when it comes time to release the new community update unless I should happen to run into any technical issues. Also, we will be seamlessly converting all users and posts to the new makestation, so it should be a pretty easy transition. Big Grin

So, what are your suggestions for the upcoming makestation? Suggestions will definitely be given serious consideration, so feel free to express any concerns or ideas as they come up. I will be keeping you guys updated. Big Grin

  Electric guitar fans?
Posted by: Darth-Apple - July 18th, 2013 at 2:43 AM - Forum: Media & Entertainment - Replies (5)

Personally, I am much better with acoustic guitar, but I've always loved to play electric guitar as well. I have a fender stratocaster as my only electric, but it is definitely a very nice guitar and plays well. It also keeps its tune quite well, which is great of course. (An intstrument that won't keep its tune is a real pain to play for sure. Been there, done that, won't go back Tongue )

Any other fans of the electric guitar here?
