Well, I found a way to set up a Vanilla forum on my free host or whatever, and it theoretically would allow us to just import everything from this forum onto it without a hitch.

(http://heap.stuck.x10.mx/forum/)

Only thing is I don't think that'd be the best idea because, well, we're The Heap, not The Heap (a subsidiary of Stuck), so I figure I should just set up another x10 domain and then we might be able to work from there or something.

But we could just forego this entirely and pay for a domain and a host. Thoughts?

Whatever allows us to have porn and wild orgies

Tre · 2012-01-16 19:23:49

Pfft, technically we can do that here.

Unless it violates Vanilla's TOS.

Justice4243 · 2012-01-16 19:26:22

It would.

Tre · 2012-01-16 20:28:59

Fair enough then.

...If we become our own full site, what would the logo be anyway?

Anonus · 2012-01-16 20:55:46

I actually made two banners, but I tested them out elsewhere and I figure they're too big. I would keep the text banner as-is.

Tre · 2012-01-16 20:59:06

Alright, but I'm calling it now: the favicon has to be an interstate sign. Or a US Highway shield, I think CA prefers those but I'm not sure.

Also I changed the theme. The site is a bit greenier now, looks almost like my Tumblr theme before I monkeyed around with it.

...and it's hit its traffic limit for the hour.

This free hosting is fun to play around with, but I don't think it would make a viable forum for actual use, unfortunately.

Tre · 2012-01-16 21:59:38

Agreed.

Bluh, why does everything good have to be paid for?

(because it's worth the money)

Tre · 2012-01-16 22:00:43

Maybe I might set us up a real one once I get a job.

Or if Stuck gets a publisher and I rake in a little bit of moolah through that.

Imipolex G · 2012-01-16 22:05:14

Making money from writing? What?

Princess Alice · 2012-01-16 22:09:33

I considered paying for a host once I get a job but odds are I'll be working minimum wage.

Still, I live with my parents, so I might have at least some disposable cash.

Obā-san · 2012-01-16 22:15:50

If I get a job I'd be willing to fork over.

Anonus · 2012-01-16 22:20:07

So what happened to the domain? What's with the "cl0"?

Tre · 2012-01-16 22:22:07

I dunno. Some Vanillaforums.com thing.

The test forum I made for myself is "tre.cl1", so.

Princess Alice · 2012-01-16 22:22:16

I have no idea. You'd have to ask the Vanilla people.

So don't even bother asking Naney

I used Murderbuddy Magic

Larger Avatars, with bonus titles would be nice.

And hovertext for the Avatars.

Icalasari · 2012-01-17 01:26:10

The mobile site using page numbers instead of that newer/older posts crao thing would be nice 83

Justice4243 · 2012-01-17 01:27:51

And avatars that shoot missiles.

Tre · 2012-04-22 15:14:41

THREE MONTHS LATER

Gosh, what was I thinking with that favicon thing? Bluh.

Justice4243 · 2012-04-23 16:09:17

AVATARS THAT SHOOT MISSILES!

God, past me is so brilliant.
