Dude I've been barking up this tree for years. I'd do it myself if I had any idea of what I was doing. Not enough of us are active for anybody to really put in the work I guess? I would donate some money for sure to make it happen though.
n.b. this is something that several people have once decided to take on as a passion project, and subsequently abandoned, probably because it's high effort/low payoff, if not that there's pretty much always something more personally fulfilling to work on than skinning a forum 14 years past it's prime
w/r/t money, my personal stance is that money still probably wouldn't motivate me to spend the few hours I'm awake and not at work working on this instead of something I care about
I wanna see it in action too
I've offered many times to pay someone to make a forum skin for this place. It doesnt have to ape one of the old ones, just something that isn't this god awful default SMF thing that makes us look like a three member spin off group with their own invisionfree board. That ended with the .cc domain getting a half baked custom forum build that was subsequently abandoned and the domain lost to limbo.
As VCR said, it's hard to reasonably expect someone to pour hours into a complex project when we're all grown ass adults these days with our own soul crushing responsibilities to attend to. I do think that something less blase would be hugely beneficial to the forum/community because I can't possibly imagine young aspiring artists to take the site seriously when it looks like this, but that's just the way it is for the time being.
At this point I'd almost just settle for a "midnight" theme or a dark/blue/black. Nothing fancy. Just dark like my asshole.

tbh the place to be a young aspiring artist is on centralized social media where it's possible to discover people

Call me old fashioned but I think there is a benefit to a dedicated website for people to share their work with like minded people for the purposes of self improvement before you reach the point of wanting to start sharing things in the social media sphere. Places like DA, tumblr, and NG are designed to fascilitate that kind of thing, but due to their size it’s like YouTube where most are liable to never get any kind of feedback or connect with the user base at large. Here, with how tightly knit the community is, someone sharing something is practically guaranteed some degree of interaction, even at the height of however many years ago. Maybe it’s nostalgia talking (probably) but I don’t think the Clock Crew has outlived it’s usefulness, though there’s little denying our relevancy is mostly historic, for lack of a better term.
I have the old theme assets somewhere (looked and can't find themâ€"hook me up again, veece?) and was gonna locally host a copy of this current forum software then fiddle around until I got it to work, but then I bitched out by being a little bitch

Ok well if you're willing to do this I can throw some money/help your way if you'd like??????
i need neither but i do like money solely because i'm a greedy pigdog
progress: i went over to my backpack and found the raspberry pi that has apache on it. it is now plugged in and on the local network. haven't gotten around to installing this current forum software on it but this is probably the fastest progress i've made on a clock crew project in years
this is great news
I actually turned that off yesterday and something along the lines on "why are there two fucking pis plugged in and this one isn't even doing anything"
this is the person you're counting on. give it a few months, hopefully I'll have something better than "hey I actually tried now but it turned out it was really hard/impossible so nevermind" but i'll definitely have something

Wait we're supposed to be taken seriously?
I can't believe that back then some of the more talented coders/designers among us would spend days/weeks/months sometimes piecing these skins and other large projects together. Most of the time people just complained as well.
People were always down on Cabin Fever but I quite liked it. Post Modern didn’t do much for me though, I admit.
exhaust 2.0 was the best theme
I am unaffected by your allegiances. The only option on that page that mattered for me was the randomskoo check square
You know it’s an old photo when one of the popular posts in the BBS is “Xbox 360 leakedâ€
this was before we had the sense to turn 360° and walk away, no less
I assumed I still had the assets for Exhaust because I haven't thrown anything away since 2005, but I wasn't sure, so I did a search
I found them. they're in a folder called "crap 3" with thousands of other files, most of them with names like Picture 8 and 1376326734_f2ce1d0c5b34d63.jpg
some of the other stuff in crap 3:
• a file called index.html that contains nothing but the text "go the distance"
• a 443mb folder of all the public domain music used during the production of ren & stimpy
• a rom of teenage mutant ninja turtles tournament fighters
• a folder called "crap 2"
• a .pdf of an old-timey newspaper article about a boy with horns
• a .textClipping file which reads, in its entirety:
QuoteWhere'd mario get his medical license?

Knew exactly which theme it was before even entering the thread. The GOAT tbh
I am really shocked how many old timers are in this thread, just like still around to respond. I feel like if you put this thread back in 2008 not much would be lost.
The only thing keeping me here is that somehow this place still exists. I'm grateful, but surprised each and every day I come here and don't get a 404.

I'm surprised anyone even still remembers jenkem. Good times.
