WOAH!! WTF happened to the board?!


We've combined the Thorp & Sailor's Grave boards into a single messageboard.

I know, I know... "they're different labels with different listeners and different things to say!" To which I would agrue...
- 95% of the people that were registered at SGR are also registered at Thorp.
- Largely for that reason, the SGR board did not see as much activity as the Thorp board.
- The topics of conversation and personalities from one easily fit in with the other.
- Administering two boards was unnecessarily time consuming.


This new design is meant to compliment the look of both labels. That said, I'm not married to it, so if you have any suggestions or criticisms, lemme know.

Thanks,
-BD-

I think there needs to be pirates or Anton Lavey somewhere.

pirates might skew the design a little too much towards the SGR esthetic; anton lavey too much towards Thorp.

how about ANTON LAVEY THE PIRATE? i could incorporate that somewhere!

So much better lookin'. I was wondering if changes were gonna take place when I saw the two icons for the Thorp and SGR homepages up there earlier. As for the merging of the boards, I always thought it was odd that they were separate to begin with.

Were the Thorp & SG logo's always up in the top right corner under the dates or is that new too? I noticed those this morning for the first time.

Dig the new look.




A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

pfft I dig the new one. You could do free work and post them so we could vote on who wins. But he'll probably still use his design anyway :)

i'm glad you all are into it. i still prefer the old SGR design, but there is no doubt this is an improvement over the old Thorp board. i just don't know about the red - it may too much contrast. anyway...

siczine - there will be a thorp main site redesign at some point, i just don't know when. the look you see here likely wouldn't carry over exactly, but may be a starting point for the design.

666mike - the label logos in the top right are new as of today. clicking on them will take you to their respective homepages.

Lucabrasi - we'd love to feature ofther people's art work in the site design, but we're not in a position to be spending on stuff like that right now, so everyone will be left having to stare at what i manage to scrounge together.

Saint - our plan was always to keep the two labels seperate and market them as two distinct brands and companies, which they are; Thorp is not a parent label to SGR. but in considering the state of things with the SGR board, the options became merge them or just drop the SGR board. I believe there is little worse than to have a forum with four posts a month. it sends a very negative message to visitors. so...we decided to give this a chance. and i do truly hope that our more regular SGR board members start posting here.

AWSOME. TOTALLY AWSOME. What I don't get is you don't give us a heads up or bounce ideas off us. You just drop the ball and say "Yo. This is whats up." Good job and seriously it looks great.

some people think of me as a heavy, it's true. ;)

nah, this happened real quick. i just got a new server last week and was moving SGR over on Sunday. i decided it wasn't worth the time to reinstall and reconfigure the message board application for that site since no one was using it, and that i would just send people to a redesigned, joint SGR/THORP board on the Thorp server. so once the site was moved, i set about redesigning the boards. a couple people who were online this afternoon were asked to take a quick look before it went live, but that's it. i may leave shit on the back burner for a long-ass time, but once it moves up, watch out...I'm gonna get 'er done!
