I found a great deal on domain names so I picked up "ozzyosbourne.us" for basically nothing. Once I have more time I'll probably make a proper website just for fun and to relearn Dreamweaver, but for now I just have it forwarded to here. I doubt it'll bring any more people but at least it is easier to remember!

I hope you had a great holiday too! I finally got around to getting the domain and my computer synced so hopefully I can find some time to make it into an actual website. Still undecided on whether or not I'll keep this forum as "Wicked World" or rename it to something that pertains to the main website. It would be nice if this forum had more traffic, seems like forums are getting a little more popular now that people are getting tired of Facebook and Twitter. We'll see...

Yeah! It'll probably be a slow process throughout this year, the main thing I'm brainstorming is how to go about it in a unique way that will actually make people want to go to the website more than once. Siegler's (black-sabbath.com) site is incredible and always makes me want to come back for more, Mitch's used to be great and I suppose since he put back all the old pictures and files he once had it has a lot of content, but I don't really have a reason to visit it. The official Sabbath website is and always has been a joke and the official Ozzy website is great visually but you aren't going to get any real opinion or substance on an official website.
I'm always open to ideas and contributions, I believe that having a community's input and fresh/new perspectives is what makes a website worth coming back to. There will definitely be some blog-esque portions of the website authored by different people. Even if it ends up being shit or unimpressive, it'll be fun and it isn't like it (currently) is costing anything.

As you can see, I updated the homepage and the forum's colors. I hate the way Proboards looks, nothing has changed in the past ten + years making it extremely dated. I totally understand why Mitch switched to something else for a few years before the site was first taken down. Anyway, I never plan on doing that and will continue to use this as the site's forum.
I dig seamless transitions between pages so I tried to make this look as similar to the homepage as possible while still being usable and as good as a Proboards forum is going to look. Any thoughts on the color scheme are appreciated, the reason I used this brownish/tanish combination is because I'm a huge fan of the No Rest For the Wicked/No More Tears era color schemes. It is pretty easy on the eyes too as far as reading the text that people are posting. I'll continue to tweak it now and then and always have it sync up with the rest of the site as the design changes.

Also - you can get to the forum by going here:
ozzyosbourne.us/forum ozzyosbourne.us/forums
I made both because different websites use both variations (which is frustrating) and since it is easy just to make both direct here, why not?

Well Bra, I'm down with what you are doing, and I too was alive and well when the slick piece of work came out, fantastic record. Still love it as much as I do Blizzard and Diary. Sandstone is cool, take a year Hell take two not like the internet is going any ware but from what I have seen from day one it's like History starting to repeat itself and here we are, many online places back at the beginning cause some new ideas were just bad. HA I'm so not into the invasion of privacy thing. Fucken Hell Man. Cheers!

For sure, it'll take awhile because I want to do it right. The more people on here with ideas/contributions the better and I hope a good homepage/url for this forum brings in more traffic. There is no meaningful conversations or information on websites like Facebook and Twitter, I still get a lot of knowledge from forums. It is the perfect way for people with similar interests to talk about what they want to without getting judged.

I agree with that, the pages you mentioned are all about ME ME ME and More Me **Rolly Eyes** OK that was extreme some are just lonely and need to be well needy? Message boards are just that you can express opinions and learn without having your personal life all over that public stuff. I love my friends and family so I personal text or call them? seems weird I know. HA, the world is in for a massive online correction.
Suggestion: How do you kill of the adverts that are right across your banner? I used to know so much about this stuff been away for to long can't do the codes any more......

I really want to get rid of them, but Proboards heavily monitors these forums and would shut us down if they saw that there were no ads and I wasn't paying for it. It costs about $7/month to get rid of them and unless these boards get really popular and it's worth it, I can't afford that. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to right justify the text at the top like this: ozzyosbourne.us forums « This Forum = ozzyosbourne.us » Hey, rossmosis, you have 108 messages, 0 are new.

I've *almost* figured out how to justify everything, just need to figure out how to right justify the "ozzyosbourne.us forums" part. I'd also dig justifying the ads to the right so the logo isn't blocked so much.
I'm trying to come up with a name for the website as a whole, currently I have it set as "The Ozzy Osbourne Database" - I like it but if the consensus is that it sucks, I'll change it. The main few reasons for that name is that there is absolutely nothing on the Internet called that and searching for it on Google already has it on the first page...also, I plan on having this website contain MASSIVE amounts of information pertaining to each album.
