Post subject:  Moving the web site and boards

This has been a long term goal of mine - to move this site and these boards to something more 'general wargaming' rather than game specific. So, I thought that I would get some initial ideas from you guys about it.

Specific questions:

1. These boards are now split into three sections. The next phase of this 're-branding' is to change the main board title. Any suggestions would be welcomed, and bear in mind that the sections are '-comms' and the web site will be the 'Tactical Wargames Network'.

2. Colours. We could go either of two ways on the new colour scheme. If we go for a light colour scheme, it will look cleaner and brighter, and be potentially easier to read. As a disadvantage, it would mean that these boards would need a rework in some cases, and I want the site to be distinctive. If we go for a darker colour scheme, it could appear dull and too gothic. Any suggestions on colours, styles or other web sites out there that look good?

Thanks.

I quite like the grey gothic look. Maybe add some gothicness to the theme.

:D  I already have www.tacticalwargames.net - and I am thinking of a shorter 'TacWar' to friends.  :;):  For the boards, I was thinking along the lines of 'HUD', or 'Tactical Command'...

I like Tactical Command, TacComm for short perhaps.

Easy to read wins every time. Style can wear out, readability keps on trucking.

Boards - Tac Com :)

For the basic board structure here is my initial thoughts

Gallery - It's always about the pics :D
Rules - Discussion of specific rule sets or eras
Terrian - All things tree and rubble related
After Action Reports - There I was...inverted
Misc Wargame - Did here
Unrealted - Most people have names like the bar, the lounge, whatever, it is it's not taking baout dice or minis

Perhaps I should clarify a little. These boards have already been re-structured. The changes on these boards occurred as a result of future changes and the web site moving. The structure is unlikely to change, and the only real effect of the web site moving would be a new colour scheme (an addition to the existing two, not a replacement).

Tactical Command has a nice sound to it, but I am open to futher suggestions.

Does anyone have examples of web site colours, designs and layout that they find really good or really bad?

Modeling wise would it be better to have everything together? Likewise trades?

Such things tend to benifit from cross fertilisation!

Would that mean re-registering, losing all the thread histories and having to repoint everyone to the new site?

I know this has been a long time project for you, but you would really want to think about the significant implications that will come with the move

Nope. These boards would simply change address (and even then I would add a link to the new location). I would then simply backup the boards, and re-install them in the new location. All accounts and details would be retained (see, I care!).
