Construction of the front page is the FIRST thing people see...
Without the BANG of the front page, trisphee in my opinion is going no where towards the success thats wanted/expected. The little things are what matter the most when wanting to attract the eye of the people... Items are not an issue, there are far too many for a new site.

Yes, eye catching front page is a win win. I always like going to a site that have great front page with amazing details and information. Something colorful and something that show the beauty of the site. Something that include all kind of information but then leave out some great stuff for later.

Exactly, the front page art is great.
But for me personally thats what i look at when i come to a new avatar site.
Avatar sites are going to be judged based off appearance
and Trisphee right now is being judged off as "Boring" .
Trisphee needs to find/construct and find that "Bang!"

[Sora]

I honestly judge by the way the bases and items look when I find avatar sites I haven't joined yet. xD; If a base isn't that great looking in my opinion, I don't stick around a lot. I still join, just because I tend to love avatar sites, but I don't stick around a lot like I would with other sites that I think the pixeling is nicer. But once I've joined, it's the activeness that sink me in more.

Again, being based off Appearance is important.

The only reason I'm still here is mostly because of the users on here. The rest, I don't really care at all. Being honest, I don't care anymore about items, avatar, how the site look, and everything else. I really care most right now is the users I got to know and share my experiences with.

I left other avatar sites because I don't have a lot of people who actually care for me and so many drama going on. It would be nice to see some great changes going on though but even that won't change anything much. I just love Trisphites!

We do want Trisphee to have that bang, the problem is having the people to code the bang to get it done. Which is why we are trying to say. We are in desperate need of help.

I would LOVE to see some lightsabers. Maybe some normal weapons too. Swords and axes and staffs and such. And not just super cool looking expensive stuff either. Some basic, simple, cheap weaponry would be awesome.

We're working on the front page right now, actually.

Saying we need more active users is like saying we need to exist. A forum is nothing without its userbase but we cannot attract new users without things to attract them.

The colors are actually pretty professional here. We've been through a few revisions and a number of focus groups, and this color scheme and layout isn't any less attractive than a lot of our competition. That said, we do have a bunch of other color schemes waiting in the wings (mostly just a matter of getting someone who has the time to finish them).

You're right about the shortage of pixel artists. That's something we're trying very hard to fix. With that, the rest should come into place.

[Fenris]

Because of the lack of pixelists, I am looking at all the strings I would have to pull to hire pixelists under the age of 18.

[Panda]

I can draw out items, but I'm no where good at actually pixeling the items.

Is there anyway to be pixelist in training? O.o

[Sora]

Yeah, I can doodle stuff out, but I can't pixel. If I could, I'd offer to help out.

[Fenris]

Panda we have no need of designers right now. Even if we tried to hire them they wouldn't get there designs done right now. We don't have the pixel artists to do them.

I see what you mean, I guess I will keep on practicing and hopefully I will be able to make something decent later on and then try to help Trisphee out.

[Fenris]

Panda we wont create a pixelist in training position but we have had classes on pixeling. You should see about getting an NDA and attending next class when one of us announces one.
