If our main page (themvzone.com) is unsalvageable, then we're really starting from scratch. Hopefully this will be our last move for a long time.
What would you like to see? Another blog-formatted main page with a separate entry for each video? Perhaps a video archive as part of the boards themselves? MVZ on Twitter?
All ideas are welcome - let's make this the best incarnation of the site yet. Be creative.

Any way we could integrate a flash player into the site to make video streaming easier?

I can probably host various really popular videos on blip. Blip actually lets you make a profit from streaming, so maybe if alot of people stream videos straight from MVZ, we can help out Ryan React in paying the bill for MVZ and intergrate streaming videos on the main page.

I think we could do better organisation wise for the main page than the blog format, but I don't know what else to suggest. I'll have a browse tomorrow, see if anything catches my eye, otherwise blog'll more than fit the bill. Also, new posts button

I haven't found any new posts buttons yet, but I will continue to look. Just wanted to get the essentials out of the way for the board to be populated!
Also, I really liked how the videos were archived on the old board. The blog format may not have been the best (we got spammed constantly), but it was good until our little problem. I'm up for anything really.

Is there anyway to get rid of these random ass google ads on the board without having to pay $?

If a blog is still the desired option, we can use wordpress.com rather than .org. That's what I use for my movie blog. It doesn't have nearly the level of customization, but it'd be much more friendly to those of us who are html-retarded.

I'm fine since I think the main focus here is a main site to host the videos more than anything. I don't think people would care much about customization of the main page. Plus, I like the for reel blog alot for the record, so go read it.

Vyper, use Adblock or Noscript or something like that if you have firefox.
Second, I really like the main page's design as it is (although to be honest I can't remember previous incarnations if there were any). And there has to be some sort of way to export all the content from the site so you don't have to start from scratch. I don't know anything about this software, but there just has to.

Let me know if you need any help with the site, I have designed websites before, I am pretty decent with HTML and CSS. I'm actually converting my new "Fantasy League" website over to a new look, check it out.... if you have Internet Explorer it won't work for you, every browser besides IE seems to work on it lmao, click the version 2 link if you have IE but it won't display my newer work . jwp-es.com/jwp-es.com/jwpversion2/index2.htmlAll of the black background pages are the older version of the site, I am actually in the middle of converting everything to the new version. Let me know if you need any HTML/CSS help.

Hmm...Nothing really I want to change. I would say go with the main page how we originally had it. I would also say to link this board on the main page as well.
