If we're serious about Chubbs the hub (HUBBS!?!?) and really want it to get off the ground, I think we need to give the site a slight makeover. The ideal layout would be a more organized collapsible branching format, with a distinct separation between Active Systems, Out of Character Forums, and Retired Systems (whether by "owner" retiring them or by inactivity for a set amount of time).

Current Systems:
[INDENT]System[0]
[INDENT]Administrative
[INDENT]Rules
Joining
...
Category[n][/INDENT]
World/Game/Category[1]
[INDENT]Thread[0]
Thread[1]
...
Thread[n][/INDENT]
World/Game/Category[2]
...
World/Game/Category[n]
[/INDENT]
System[1]
System[2]
...
System[n][/INDENT]

The Watercooler (OOC Forums)
[INDENT]Administrative
[INDENT]Warnings and Infractions
New RPG Development
System Chat
[INDENT]Chubbs
Anyria
...[/INDENT]
...
[/INDENT]
Legendary Asylum
Kame House
Extras[/INDENT]

Legacy Systems
[INDENT]Chubbs Vault
[INDENT]Administrative
[INDENT]Roster
...[/INDENT]
Spars/Fights
...
[/INDENT]
System[1]
System[2]
...
System[n][/INDENT]


For example, Chubbs would be organized like this:

Current Systems:[INDENT]Chubbs[INDENT]Administrative[INDENT]Rules
Joining
Updates
...
Capsule Corp[/INDENT]
Earth
[INDENT]Info
Mission Two: Red Bull
The Red Stallions Return
...
Aufsteig[/INDENT]
Namek
...
The Afterlife[/INDENT][/INDENT]


Although the initial overhead in creating this will probably make some staff members pretty frumpyfaced, I think it is something that would be easier to revamp now than in the future. It will keep our site looking sleek and organized, while preventing the OOC forums (the most active portion on our site, and the reason why a good deal of us are still around) from being buried beyond a pile of sloppily organized systems.

In addition, providing a more developed framework will actually give anybody who is thinking about creating a system a bit more of a jumping off point. By clearly requiring an Administrative forum for each system, it actually make updates easier on the staff - there will be less confusion as to what updates are for what system.

I believe the Chubbs Hub is probably the best concept for breathing new life into our site, but we need to nurture this. It's an awesome niche, but if we let it get lost in being completely disorganized, it will never blossom into the beautiful flower it deserves to be.

I was looking for forum skins but most are shit and coding them is awful/I'm bad at it. If people want to send me suggestions I am open to that.

There's a whole mess of coding, including CSS, and images that are needed.

Free would obviously be easier, but if there was a paid one that wasn't too expensive and we liked it then I could probably swing that.

I got this current one from VbSkins though the banner is designed as a fixed width and so that's why you see that broken green bar on higher resolutions. Vbulletin 4 skins probably won't work but if we love them then maybe I can force them. (oooh, creepy.)

I found this forum with a pretty nice skin while perusing the internet. I don't know why, but it evoked a strange sense of nostalgia. I think I visited the site in my teenage years or something?

I vote for more of that color. Whatever this green is, is bullshit.

Fun fact: I have always thought that the banner on this website is a picture of Mewtwo.

That layout would be sexy to see again. With some of the new fancy shit too.

A fear of time running out.

I think it's actually Arthas Menethil of Warcraft fame. I didn't make the banner though.

My god I loved this skin! We should totally bring this back.

Edit: Btw, do you still have a copy of 'Burying the Sword'? Some of your best work!

Yeah, the banner is the Lich King. Not really sure why, I think mostly just because it looked cool.
