For no real reason except curiousity, @Mahz, what is the status on a potential facelift for the guild? I know it's completely unneeded, but I just like to derp around with the idea

@Mercenary Lord

I'd only be able to pull off an ambitious facelift if an entire cohesive design was entirely stubbed out for me to just copy/implement. Or if I just chimped the cross-product of multiple designs that we liked. But in the short run, I think we'd get better bang for the buck making some incremental improvements to the current theme. For one, the shades of grays don't match. Help.

@Mahz

By this, do you mean like, a design for the post box, and another design for the post button, and another design for the logo, each one premade? First of all, if we're making adjustments, I think the white of the post box could be reduced. It's kind of a glaring outlier in an otherwise nice gray theme Second, inline text is kind of hard on the eyes too but idk how to make that better

praise jesus lord almighty I'm not sure if any other RP website has that. They might, but I don't know if it would actually be embedded in the actual RP threads anywhere else So cool

Etherpad is great. @Mahz did you hear it's now in Sandstorm.io?

@Captain Jordan

Haha that's how I heard about it. Until then I'd only heard of EtherPad from people on the Guild using it off-site. I assumed it was some proprietary but freemium SaaS. When I saw it on Sandstorm (well, which I saw on HN), it blew my mind that it is open-source with a simple API. I could immediately see how I'd integrate it after skimming through its docs. Has session support and everything to integrate into the guild's system.

@Mahz

Mahz are you telling me you could implement a multi-person Etherpad into the actual RPGuild website

Then there's word of mouth. Nothing like Word of mouth.

I googled "forum roleplaying" and RPguild was the first result.

OMG BBCODE Okay, so this is something for further down the line, but would it be possible to put keyboard shortcuts for the various BBCode things? Like how CTRL+B on other platforms makes Boldtext code appear?
