Heya Rakhi.
Sorry for not posting, I've been really busy :/
And also sorry for falling behind with the site, maintaining the orch one is a lot of work too, plus I've been taking up my coding time with trying to learn JavaScript. I've been looking into some new designs though, so it doesn't look quite as plain.
Hopefully this Christmas I'll be getting a laptop again, and since I can do coding offline, that means I'll be able to get around to it a lot more. Not saying I'll wait till then, but if a full site is out by then a really nice redesign would be around the corner.
Anyways, my break is almost over, so gotta go.
Cya everyone.

No worries Forr! You take care of your priorities. You know I'm not in any rush :P That would be nice if you got a laptop for Christmas. I'll keep my fingers crossed :P
Star SC's grand re-opening event is posted under Special Occasions. Please see page 2, post 6 for more details AND ESPECIALLY be sure to read the rules once you are guided to the thread by the quickfind code, because Star SC is a NON-COMBAT group

I took the day off from school today, since it's a half day and we usually don't do much of anything.
I've slept in a bit and made a different template for the site, to make up for some slack.
Go check it out when you can, Spyra. it's completely different and a lot better in my opinion. Still has a ton of room for expansion and improvement, but it's a good start for an hour.
If you like it, the week after next I'm on Thanksgiving break and can go ahead and finish it up using that style.
If not I can just code a different one.

lol it seems I checked this thread at a good time. I checked it out and I have positive and negative things to say about it. I really like the layout. I like the double columns with scroll bars. I like how clean it looks. Only a couple things I don't like... the name banner and colors. It's a bit too gray :P I actually think the gray color that you have for the text area is good. The text is easily readable. It's more the BACK background if you know what I mean, the one that surrounds the page
Also Forr, I figure the easiest way to reach you would be via this thread. I'm putting members that have said they want to help in proper tasks. I'm looking at what you ranked 1-2 which is creating/posting events, managing contests, and making sure the hall of fame is updated/reporting new 99s

At the moment we have...
Nesmaha - Contests/Recruiting
Baconlord100 - Managing Multi-Clan Affairs
MrErock - Family guide (answering questions for new members)

Now, I can tell you Nesmaha would like a second person to manage contests with him, cause he's not on a whole lot. Whether or not you choose to do that is up to you. You can choose more than one task too if you want as long as you think you can handle it

Phew, I'm glad you liked the layout and not the colors, as opposed to vice versa.
This layout looks uniform in all browsers, since I used some simple code to position it, rather than all this relative and floating mixed with absolute (what a mess).
It takes less than a minute to change the color scheme of the hole page with CSS. Everything is in one place and really easy to find and change.
For the banner, it was really rushed (about 5 minutes with some knock off Photoshop program). I'll make it after we have a solid color scheme, and put some real time into it.
For the color scheme, all I need to do is either keep mixing until I can get one you like, or give you a resource so you can pick out multiple schemes until we pick one that looks good. Like I said, banner comes after.
And for the background, It's super plain. Although relatively risky with a lot of different resolutions, I'd rather put in an image as a background rather than a solid color. I'd have to do a little researching to make it look more uniform with multiple resolutions, though. If the image doesn't work out, we can always spend 2 seconds just changing the background color.
Also lately I've been spending more and more time learning more code and such, so by Christmas (again crossing fingers for a laptop) I'll definitely have enough knowledge to code an awesome dynamic site, and with a laptop a lot more time to implement it(I'll be taking it everywhere and working in free time). For now, though, something like this should work, with a lot of little improvements.

As for the tasks, I'll be glad to help with anything, especially contests. I could integrate the checking hall of fame and such with contests, since both require hs for 99 and start exp/levels (respectively).
Anyways, I'm getting dangerously close to running out of characters, so cya everyone. :)

I would like to take this opportunity to ask for a little assistance and once my task is completed, to give a little in return.
Decided to try and get my void knight deflector which requires one to do the mini-game tutorial for conquest on the void knight island (i.e., where pest control is) and 150 points and a rating of 1250 in the game.
Here's my problem, I keep getting my teeth kicked in with all my strategies lately :@ , so I thought I would ask a clan mate to help me get my rank so I can purchase one, then I can return the favor.
By the way you get pretty good commendation points from playing, pretty easy to get 100 in three or four games to trade in on skills, even if you lose :P (which I have done a LOT of lately)
So if anyone is interested in getting their deflector, let me know so we can knock it out quick together.

Big shout out to Forrb, who had time to spare and patience in learning a new mini-game to help me out for a bit.
Thanks to him I'm down to 102 ranking points left to get my coveted void knight deflector, then I can kick back and let him and anyone else beat up on me in the game for a bit for ranks and commendation points.
Quick note to anyone wishing to do this, more kills on each side is more points. Just letting one team mow down the other doesn't give many points. But playing a real concentrated game with one person being the designated victor makes it go fast. But as all things in life, it isn't fast getting ranks up. But as long as it remains fun helping each other out, pretty worthwhile for some time spent playing.

Heya Rakhi! Sorry I haven't posted in a couple days. Yesterday was a celebration, and today my dad came up to take me out for lunch to celebrate. Forum rules prevent me from specifying this "celebration" I speak of, I think. But anyway, I've been busy with that
On to the site. Forr, if we went with a background image, how hard would it be to find something Native American? Seeing as how Rakhi-Sunita is an Indian name, I think it would make sense to have that theme incorporated into the site =) I took a glance at the site yesterday. I'll look at it more carefully tonight
Ooo also about your task in the family, errrm I'll have to think about that a bit and get back to you with my thoughts, and see what you think, and go from there
Maxxie, great job keeping your average up and good luck with your finals. I'm very proud of you! :D I'll be sending you a message so watch for that when you are able to =)
Man, I feel totally out of the loop, I'm not sure what a deflector is or what it does lol. But I'm glad to hear that another member helped you Rhea. That's what this family is about :D
