Cstyles gets a new facelift!

So with all the happenings on Cstyles in the past several weeks and basically feeling as though Cstyles had actually been violated, I felt it was time for a tiny facelift. For the site...not for me!! Lol!

So browsing I go...I viewed several different templates and colors, applied several in 'test' mode to see if I liked the look and finally decided on this dark purple with a black base background.  I'm so loving the colors!!!  Once I got it up Evie spotted it and jumped right in!! (I so <3 that girl) and started putting her touches to it.  It was great watching the forum transform and get a total rejuvenation!!!  Such a great feeling!

So it took several hours but finally we got to a point where we both could call it a night and hopefully pick up tomorrow where we left off.

The portal (home page) still needs some work but that is a whole different area so to speak; but it is the most important.  It's the first thing you see when you click on the Cstyles link if you are browsing the web and come across us so it has to stand out a bit.

After this is all said and done I plan to do my basic updates, vid, funnies and put up a new 'member' sim on the home page!  I've got a beauty in mind! Kami uploaded this beautiful sexy Sim that I know deserves front page and I can't wait to show her off!

Well...that's it for now...I'm guessing it's finally time to settle down for the night/day and get some rest.  I was going to go in game and do some things but I just don't feel up to it right now even though my game has been running now for hours. (I hope that's not a bad thing...) I'm just too pooped!

Oh I have such ideas for enhancing Cstyles!!!

Who does this kind of thing...I know who...

Now...who joins a forum, befriends the members and staff...whom all welcomed warmly, then leave to start their own forum, (which I had NO problem with and even try to support all Cstyles members blogs and forums)...but they start their new forum off and it looks like a mini version of Cstyles!!!   First it was the same colors as Cstyles and upon further inspection...it clearly had ripped off several areas of Cstyles and incorporated them into their new forum!!!! Has your jaw dropped yet...?  Be patient...it will!


I visited said site because I had been invited to visit and join...so that is what I was going to do...join their forum. Of course I didn't join after seeing what was taking place over there.

I immediately pm'd this couple and told them that I was very shocked to see the extreme likeness to Cstyles and questioned what they were doing. He, (I'll give names and site info later) adamantly claimed there was NO likeness to Cstyles on his forum...which was of course false. He then tried to convince me that it was extremely hard to make a forum that looked different from another forum because we were so limited! Since when did the WWW, the world wide web become limited...? I mentioned this to him and he stated that it was no different from custom content looking like someone else's...which is a false. Show me 2 forums that look like one stole ideas from the other...?

I pointed out several sections they had stolen from Cstyles and just 'in your face' openly displayed on their forum.

...to be cont.

edit:  I'm writing this not to be malicious, but to show people that this type of action is not good, fair nor respected and yes...I'm taking action against them.

I love this!! Support the real...avoid the fakes!

This is so neat! Evie made this her siggy at Cstyles. WE know the reason and I love that she stood up and continues to stand up for Cstyles. I believe though...this should go to all! Support the originals and decline the fakes!
