Hi,
The new domain for our website is running at http://kiwifarms.net. Any discussion regarding it should go here.
What happens to the CWCki Forums?
There are two styles available on the new domain. At the bottom right, you should see a label called Kiwillium. This is the standard, light them. Clicking it brings up the theme selector. "DORITOS JACKED Black" is our dark theme. Select this if you'd prefer a dark theme.
I am accepting new media for the new domain. I need three things. Anyone who's content is accepted will be awarded a forum trophy for their efforts.
This text banner will sit to the left or right of an Image Logo that will change with each page load, like our random quote. These images should be fun, small, and reflect the content of the website. Kiwi birds dressed like Chris, for instance, would be a good logo image.
Finally, background images. You should notice a generic, stock photo in the background of the page. I have total control over this. I can set it based on what forum you're viewing, what time of day it is, whatever I want. On the existing forum there is a sonichu cover, that's where this will sit.
For the background images, these again should reflect the content of the website. Keep in mind I will probably edit these heavily to be smaller in file size, and they'll probably be dimmed to be less distracting. Also be aware that the middle of them will likely be obstructed by the page content. The best backgrounds are ones that do not need attention paid to them. The sonichu background was easily recognizable, gave character, and did the job of being visually appealing without being obnoxious.

What happens to the CWCki Forums?
- The database for both domains will be the same. The domains are different, the MySQL server which stores everything about the forum is the used on both websites. You will not ever be forced to choose between the two.
- The CWCki Forums domain name will not be released. It will remain up.
- http://cwckiforums.com will be modified to feature only Chris content with a link to the new website. It'll look something like this.
- I may include Chat and Off-Topic, but as time goes on and I install more features onto the website, the older skin will become harder and more time consuming to maintain.
