Forum Release Date
About a month ago I mentioned that a Community Forum would be coming to Get Free Web Designs but didn’t give an exact launch date:
I can’t give you an exact public release date at this time, but it’s safe to say it will be within the next 30 days or less pending no snags or hiccups with the current code work in progress.
Well today I can give you a launch date for the Get Free Web Designs Community Forum to be be live on the site. That date is Friday October 2, 2009.
So why a 2 week delay you might be asking? Well Aaron and I have been wrapping up some client projects for each of our businesses and also fine tuning things around GFWD to accommodate forum moderators and design managers. Also, a 2 week delay all things considered isn’t really too bad IMHO.
Let me just say “Thank you” for your continued patience and support of Get Free Web Designs while we get things ready.
Well a lot of people are going to be REALLY happy, and it looks like the “other” web site will die a natural death.
Happy people is a good thing
will that be the date to start sign ups?
I’ll make another announcement once the forum is live.
I agree with Lynne. I think many members will be very happy with this announcement. It will be nice to have a place to congregate again
Agreed. This will be a good thing for sure.
Great news Sean.
Thank you for your continued support Len.
Awesome! Glad to see a new place for designs to hang out & get some attention again! WOOT! :bakie:
Hey Bob! Nice seeing you around the site.
You should include bakies.
You really should.
Bakies would be good. I need to find someone with the image for it. If you can track it down, let me know and I’ll get bakies working on GFWD
How about these ones:

They are cookies, but…
Cheers

Hi Wolfram. Those are nice but it would be great to have the one with the smiley face eating the bakie. Someone has to have that original icon. Hmm, I might have it in an old backup. I’ll look now.
update: I found the original bakie icon. :bakie: woot.
Great news. Hopefully this site will be the popular place to go from now on, getting tired of chatting at the other abandoned dumps…
You think there might be any contests or fun events again? Haven’t had one in a while and it would be a great way to attract attention.
Thank you for your support.
The site is already pretty popular for submitting and downloading free web templates and designs, so with the forum coming soon, things should pick up even more.
As for contests or other fun events as you put it, time will tell. Contests require prizes usually and right now Aaron and I are footing the bill for everything around the site.
We do have some ad revenue but it’s not much. For now it covers hosting fees and that’s about it.
