Lol I am glad y'all are looking forward to this! It encourages me to try and get the site done faster, haha. >v< <333 HOWEVER I KINDA NEED SOME HELP I am no good at making whimsical, colorful skins. Those people who know me as a skinner know I like darker tones and more simplistic designs. I'm not all too sure that this is the sort of skin though that OMG needs. So I am looking for another good skinner to collaborate with me on a skin for the site. I can do it myself but... it'll take me forever to find a design I am happy with. Especially when the design is out of my element. So if you're interested in even just giving me a few skin ideas, send me a PM please. Here is my lame attempt at "whimsical" for a mock-up skin. It's still horribly simple though haha. I don't think I can do anything but plain even if I tried. *konks self on the head* I do like the colors though? And this also kinda brings up the ongoing debate I dread to bring up: Jcink or PB5 for the host? I would use PB4 but it is going to take a lot of work for me to set this site up given how extensive it is. I don't want to spend all my time making a PB4 site, only to have it go down at the end of the year and have to completely rebuild OMG. I'm sorry, probably over half of you have lost interest in this thread now. ; A; Currently I am leaning more toward Jcink, tbh.

toky plssss We're still interested.
It's not really too important, at least for me. Mostly because I'm willing to learn more about both.
If you really can't decide or just want to let the majority do it, make 'em vote. Do that poll thingy or something. That should also give you some time to finalize or polish some details.

erm. if you decide to go with jcink, i might lend my services in the skinning department. if it's v5, I feel like someone else would be more suited because v5 makes me angry even if I can skin it

Because I've looked at PB5 a few times and yeah, flipped a table in frustration just staring at it. I have a test site up and I'm piddling around on it with skin ideas. I haven't done much on Jcink though so I feel like I'm only scratching the surface of its capabilities. If I get myself confused about something or can't seem to conquer it, mind if I hollar at you hun'? I don't think the mechanics of it will bother me too much though. I hope.

OMG Toky please use Jcink! Jcink at least keeps my insanity compared to V5. If you also need help with Jcink let me know. I have some experience with it but the skinning part I have no clue how to skin on there ugh. Jcink is a bit similar to Vbulletin admin control panel so I know some ins and out.

I don't mind giving my design services. ^^; I can sorta skin jcink (I get lost when it comes to board mods and mini profiles), but I can definitely design the site, if anybody else would like to code it? Hahahahaha. But dude, I think jcink would be the best bet just because we need more super awesome jcink anime sites out there. Also jcink is grrrrrrrrrrrrreat.

On normal circumstances I'd prefer proboards, but this PB5 version is pretty annoying to skin and all. So Jcink ftw.

Awh thanks y'all for this lovely support!
And actually no it isn't a Dr. Seuss font. At least it isn't called one. But... it totally looks like one. And I love it. So I used it.
I think I've settled on my skin concept thanks to some help of some friends on Skype. I'm about... 50% done with the skin? If I really put the pedal to the metal then I should be done with the site... in uh.... a few... days? Maybe? IDK I'm trying! If I get into any other hiccups during the development I'll be sure to post here. Also, closer to completion I'll be posting up a staff search so if you're interested in that just keep checking back here. I'll make a link to the staff thread when it is created.
