Hi guys!
This is the start of a prolonged project I am doing.  Lemmings Forums is going to be turned into a full fledged site eventually, one which is community centered and therefore is far less likely to suffer the fate most other Lemmings fansites have in recent years-- a chronic lack of updates.

As of now, there's nothing to see on the site side, really, but I'll be working to remedy that.  I will need some help, though, because my schedule for the next two or so months looks stressful.  Please let me know (via either PM, or a post in this news topic) if you would like access to the site's backend to help me add content about the games.  If I think you are worthy of working on it, you'll get a special rank and be able to do some more things around the site!

Soon I will be adding other features, like an upload system so you can upload your custom levels, tools, etc to the site. (Nothing of large size, though, because I only have limited space!) I'll also be tweaking the graphics around the site to make it more Lemmingy.

I've also started revitalizing the community to make it more friendly looking.  I've added an official rule set (which, mind-bogglingly, has been absent for more than a year), a welcome topic, and given some boards new names and descriptions.  Hopefully we can be even better!

Help on a new name for the site would be nice.

Hope you're not bothered by this step in a new direction! (If too many people are, though, I will revert back to this being just a forum) Enjoy!

do we have skin options?  the rounded corners aren't really appealing IMHO

Mr. K

I'll throw up a theme selector in a minute.  I have another one that has switchable CSS sheets and minimal images.

New name? I have an idea! "Mayhem 31: Taking Lemmings to the next level!" :XD:
Havok 21 works, too, but I think the other is nicer...

*ahem* Enough of that. I actually rather approve. I like the new design, though it needs cleaning up a little. A shorter banner at the top, for starters - It's stretched the frame.

Mr. K

I think this other theme might work a tad better.

By the way, the theme selector doesn't work at all >_>

WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED!?!? It wasn't like this yesterday! I'm confused. Tell me, what in the world is going on!?!?

Huh.
I'll take it down until I figure out why.

I finally did something that I've been planning (and some users have suggested) for a while.  Sorry if it bothers you.

Looks different. As long as all information is easy to find, it's ok with me :)

I kind of like it actually. It's just that big shock that I got when I came in.

AHHHH THE FORMAT

IT IS DIFFERENT

and quite cool looking, it'll be neat to see what kinds of things get added to the site.

If you have limited space, why don't you just ask that everyone upload the stuff to file sharing sites and do it that way?
