Any suggestions?
make a cab repo i bet more people would show up there. make some reviews
Congratulations for the forum,..
good luck
with your new site
Here's three suggestions: No dark theme, a nice header image and an affiliation with GetGecko.org
My offer? Mutual publicity. Nothing big, just a small link on our websites to promote eachother, free of charge. The project is growing in importance (around 700 clicks a day right now) and it's only the beginning.
PM me if you are interested
ill advertise you on my site mister-gwada97one. therell be a link ink everyones portal.
a cab supply is a good idea. i have one. a lot of people download but they dont stay to comment
Good luck mate!!
ATTENTION! There is an increasing trend of people posting "upcoming" themes. Please do not post upcoming themes or themes that are not done. It is polluting the thread. Only post themes that are COMPLETE.
Thank you
i agree and disagree with you and i will list my reasons for each
i agree because it gets peoples hopes up, it gives a larger then life feel to a theme, it leads to "flame wars" between people.
also though, from the themers perspective, it gives an insight at whether or not they should pursue their idea to fruition, or just drop for something else, it does promote the community helping to design it, what people like and dislike, what they would like to see before the themer makes the images and realizes that something else would have been better.
really in the end, it can go either way, but when deciding to make an "upcoming theme" thread, i think the themer should be willing to at least give out a beta version as a temporary hold off or have the theme fairly close to being in the release stages.
like personally, i jump around on projects very often, so if i made a concept thread, i could not touch the theme itself for a week, so i would hold off on a thread until i was ready to release it, but i know people like AGx-07_162 (i mention you a. i really like your work and b. you are a recent example) are usually good about releasing their work soon after the thread is made.
just my thoughts on the subject. i tried to give an unbiased view of both sides of it.

I agree....
As long as the title of the thread states [upcoming theme], what difference does it make? A couple of sneak peek pics of a soon to be released theme, or even a concept that fell out of someones head isn't a bad idea. It gives the user something to look forward to. AND, if the original themer doesn't get around to finishing something, perhaps someone else could pick up where they left off and get the theme running.
No one is forcing you to read the thread. If it says [upcoming theme] in the title, skip it. While your forum name may be cost to be the boss, you aren't. When you start paying the bills to keep this forum open and paying for the bandwidth to support the number of users it carries, then, and only then, can you think you can make rules. Not a week after joining and making 39 posts.

I'll agree with you to a point. I hate the "upcoming theme" idea for the same reason I hate when producers release movie commercials 3-6 months in advance. Its not done for feedback, its done for publicity. This is not general as I cannot speak for the themers, its just the way I see it.
However the above poster makes very good points. It can be good for feedback if that's what the themer is after and not just to stir a buzz.
I guess it can be good for feedback to see what people like. So that is one plus

Precisely. Taste is an individual thing. I am glad that there are previews. Once I see what is cooking I have a choice of not visiting this page again or follow it till it is done. Plus, you need creativity on this forum and creativity needs a constant window.
Besides, I can make a no-no thread about ppl making half page signature. takes a while to scroll, not everyone enjoys your in-ur-face sense of humor and it makes threads twice in page count. But I won't.
I think the best way to avoid all these issues is... Any Dev. that is working on an upcoming theme and would like to share it with the community should take these steps, first contact a Mod before posting anything and let that Mod know that you have an upcoming theme and you would like to post screen-shots with a description of your theme and most importantly if the Mod could be so gracious and lock the thread (temporarily until theme is ready to install) immediately after you post, that way the thread doesn't get cluttered with nonsense, everyone has a glimpse as to what is coming soon and finally if anyone has any feedback or suggestions then we can PM the Dev. here or anywhere the Dev. pleases.
P.S. Obviously if your theme is ready to install and doesn't need a preview then there is no need for these steps...post away.

Whwn you're a mod then you can decide whats a "no-no"
Large stupid signatures should be a "no-no" too
as long as the thread say upcoming and has preview, thats good.. otherwise Mods will do something about it.

haha wow that made my day
reading this entire argument has made my day lol. ridiculous.
I don't really agree that preview threads should be outlawed. It get's people excited about themes, that's a good thing.
And I don't mean to jump on the bandwagon, but it is kind of an unwritten rule to not have a gargantuan sig pic on a forum, unless you are a noob of course. Usually a 200x120px banner is more than sufficient.
So wait a minute.. caused i just searched 11 pages to find how many times 'upcoming theme' came up. Twice? Twice??
Really?
You made a whole deal over this 'upcoming' theme stuff?
You kids (and i do mean, KIDS) on XDA must learn some manners,
etiquette and get a good swift boot to the ass.
Devs, and Theme makers, from one honest hard worker to another, please keep up the good work.

As in my post I really have never considered making a theme to share.
After being asked to share...I figured I should ask "what people wanted?"
Don't know if you don't ask.
As far as up and coming post cluttering the forum...idk
I do know that you also started a new post devoted solely to it.
take this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4751408&postcount=2868 for an example..
I'm starting a website called "Tech-Hop" which basically keeps everyone updated with the latest technology, true hip-hop and some alternative/indie/heavy rock, and fashion(rare sneakers and hats). It's like engadget mixed a music forum. I just wanted to see what would be everyones opinions on that type of site. I made a facebook group just to start out so feel free to join.
Wow great website. I like how you don't need a link to get to it.

It's just in theory right now but I made the facebook group as a start. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_206005472766222
Advice: don't say anything about it until it is up, otherwise you will create false expectations and it will fail (something like what is happening with Diaspora)

Well here's the deal, I'm looking for anyone who is versed in web design, I require a simple, attractive looking "buy and sell" style website design with a forum section. if you think you could help, please pm me and we can converse through hangouts and see if we can make it happen! My motivation is that I reside in a booming oil community that has no private buy and sell website! the opportunity is here.
thanks for any help!
go to 99 designs, a place where you enter the job task and hundreds of designers send you their ideas of web design. It's a contest, so at the end you choose the design that you like.
So I've been working for this great company called Sizzlefish for the past year. They offer a wide selection of delicous seafood such as salmon, lobster, shrimp, halibut, haddock, scallops, crab, and a whole lot more. I would love for y'all to check out the site and please do not hesitate to suggest improvements, dm me about bugs or even suggest a product. I would strongly recommend any of our smoked salmon selection or the halibut. I've been coming to this site since I was like thirteen or fourteen and I know that there are some very talented developers who stay active on this site with great suggestions for this site. I'm also sure there are some of you out there who would love to know where to find great seafood!
If any of y'all stumble upon something you really like on the site, direct message me on here or request a live chat and I'll probably be able to hook you up with a coupon or something.
