I offered in another thread to help 2+2 with this project. I don't want any sort of compensation.
Some basic web design things are embarrassing. I think the 2+2 Internet Magazine could be a terrific source of information for people, but I also am not convinced that people are as aware of it as they are of something like BBV or OOT. Making a "homepage" for people to go to with customized content would go a long way towards promoting a lot of 2+2s products.
The font changes from page to page (look at
http://www.twoplustwo.com/magazine/c...asper0107.html versus
http://www.twoplustwo.com/classified.php) are really questionable.
Just from a design aspect, a lot of cheap web designers are out there. It would cost next to nothing to get this done. All it requires is a simple CSS sheet that defines fonts, colors, sizes, etc.
From a programming perspective, there are a lot of cool things that could be done with 2+2. I would get into my ideas on this end, but I don't want to scare off the Reds. A lot of the custom programming stuff is harder to do than giving the site a makeover that doesn't involve wood-paneling.
In terms of the forum software, I'd like to see it upgraded to the latest version of UBB.threads. Chuck has stated that 2+2 also wants to do that, but they're waiting on the UBB.threads developer to find time to help 2+2 with the switchover.
Anyway, I want to help. I have experience in this area. I'll do it for free. The Reds can PM me if they'd like to discuss it.
