Whatever you do be sure to read this post carefully!First off a toast to twoism.org on its 10th anniversary!!
I would also like to bring an immense toast to subset (Angel Draganov)! Without his code and design skills twoism.org would still be dangling in the unsafe phpBB2 environment. Not only did he create this fresh custom template but he also helped me with the database import. Some bug juggling trickery needed to be done to make it work. The past year he has put A LOT of time into making this a unique board and it wasn't always that easy. We've chatted a lot during this period and I know he personally had a tough time too. I have no words to describe how thankful I am. The irony is that the thank you present I sent him arrived today!
For those who want to praise Angel please do so in this topic. If you want to praise by donating some money perhaps, please put Angel in the donate notes somewhere(or send me a PM) and I'll forward it to Angel.
All of this would never even happened without you, the good old members of twoism.org!
10 years ago when Chyld set this place up (and involved me right away) we never expected it to grow into such a caring community. The origin of Chyld and my cooperation lies in the Boards of Canada room on SoulSeek. He contacted me to be part of this but after about a year personal issues in his life meant that he asked me to carry it on.
At the beginning the community was very tight and with only a few addicts the forum moved slow. After a while the members kept on coming in and twoism started to grow into a great community.
I don’t know about you guys, but for me the absolute pinnacle was how BOC, via MDG, included us in the Tomorrow’s Harvest promo campaign. Just think about that for a moment. Imagine you were the person getting ‘that’ email asking us to use OUR forum as an official part of that. The banners, the hidden audio clues… Still makes me smile whenever I think about it!
Why this overhaul?
It is because phpBB3 works in a total different way and the old design couldn't be ported. A few years ago I requested some designers and I got a few responses. Angel's design really stood out and I felt very comfy with it, along with the working process.
Right at the beginning we discussed having a board style which copies the atmosphere of phpBB2 because I'm aware that the members got very used to their "living room". So, if you give this board style a go and you can't get used to it you can always switch to the twoism-ripplex theme in your UCP (
USER CONTROL PANEL - at the top). It's not the same but at least the colour scheme is translated to this layout.New features
