You are correct. This forum is designed after a template and has some minor custom work in it. It should be in no case a ripe off from a technical stand point....you just have to convince your fellow rotor heads otherwise.

EVERYONE READ THIS

ok what i really want to know is what you think of the basic layout,

if anyone here knows html they know this whole site is wrote in phpbb

mine is html/xml/java

so there is a ton of skill that went into that site

I searched and searched and couldnt find a layout i liked except the front page of this site,

i knew if i yanked enough things off the screen it would be very simple and too the point

does anyone think this has been acomplished?

what color schemes would you like to see?

please stick to 2 or 3 colors only in the scheme

or if you know of a site layout you really like then link it and i will check it out
