Big Grin A little about myself

Well, where do I start? Lets see. I've been designing skins for quite a number of years now. I first got into it with PHP-Nuke. I've designed over 100 themes under the name Lorkan Themes. After the community went haywire I got into designing themes for PHP-Fusion. I think I may have designed well over 300 themes for that CMS, some were official and some were just for the community.

I still run PHP-Fusion Themes but the site is actually closed for good. Again, the whole fusion community got all political and I couldn't deal with the hassle after that.

Boredom struck me about 2 months after so I decided to create designs for miniBB. If memory serves me well, I think I created about 10 themes for it. It actually felt like a step back so I gave it up. Immediately after that, I got involved with punBB and FluxBB. I created many themes for those communities. You can still see my work if you visit Mega Pun.

Anyway, what else can I say about myself. Well, how do I live. I am actually an H.V.AC/R Mechanic (Heating, Ventillation, Air-conditioning and Refrigeration) and have been for the past 25 years. I was recently laid off from work after 10 years with the company. I am currently looking for work but the trade sucks at the moment. I do however have plans for going out on my own, but for now I decided to setup this website to hopefully bring in some small change. Big Grin

I can't think of anything else worth mentioning about myself. Oh, I am happily married for the last 15 years (great gal) and have 3 great dogs. Other than that I live a very boring life.

Cheers

Sorry to hear you got laid off, sucks but it's become so much more common these days. I too am looking for a job even temp it's still work that pays(hopefully lol) but everything is getting more expensive and the UK government is even thinking about taxing food. Oh well, any ways like the site and the theme is pretty cool although it puzzles me how such a large frog is stuck in a web???

I know, I was going to put a spider there instead but couldn't decide. I might just change it.

Hey Admin I am so sorry to hear your loss but with the experiance of yours from reading your Introduction I can see your doing quit well with your knowledge into MyBB ...

Hopefully if you really are really into MyBB, and planning on making a living off this site I suggest for you to maybe think about making plug ins for your current themes ... that maybe would be a heads up on a much more of a bigger project on the long run.

If you were to offer for 20$ the following I might be very Interested in paying to be a member for 1 year at least on hear

A: Plugins
B: Themes
C: Vip Support
D: You create the Logos for our themes

20$ I think that is a big step into having more members joining here and providing what i suggested if (a,b,c,d) could be provided with the current subscription.

I mean I am ONLY giving ideas to help on my feedback and my oppion.
Oh I been using MyBB for over 3 years now and I currently own 2 forums that are growing presently
I havent made any money yet cause my forums are offered free for members but I think eventually with time with the amount of visits I will probally make money like everything with google adsence

Thanks, I do intend to make more skins very soon. My problem is that I just landed a new job so I am quite busy at work because of what I do for a living and the fact that summer is approaching.
