If we're to do this, we need to form a team.
Seriously. We need some kind of organisation.Who's REALLY in? That mean, having time and knowledge.
What we need?
- HTML+CSS expert
- what kind of language for code..
- what else, what we need?

Nice exploration. A little too much color for me, but definitely refreshing.

It looks good to me. And I like feminine colors, too.
And the feature on the front page with my photograph ;-)
Looking good. Thumbs up from me.

We will need a name and a .com not already taken. (or something other than a .com why not)

Is there an Edit button??
Overall, it looks pretty good.
- nav seems oddly spaced
- not sure about the font...lower case here, not here...

the name should be voted by QBNers.
I could manage that.I will create a thread to brainstorm, and will cut down the list to 10 names based on reactions and i will create a survey on the web for QBNers to vote.

Redevelop it, open invites for all existing members to donate $$ (at members discretion), which will provide members access to the new QBN. All future members would also need to donate to be part of the community. This will certainly limit the trolls, and spam posts.
MAKE IT HAPPEN QBN!!!

Design is getting so predictable. Flat design? Check. Bootstrap style icons? Check. The layout isn't really that different from the current site, all he did was change the styling.
- it's just re-skin you muppetset
- What's the point though, just to conform to the latest style?ukit2
- I was stoned.set
- 'The latest style' = lack of unnecessary embellishment.set
- 2013fredddddd
- The latest style exists for a functional reason though. Most people find plain flat sites easier to use.CygnusZero4
- And they conform nicely to various other devices. When you have drop shadows and shit they dont.CygnusZero4
- 'zactlyset
- Minimalism is great (and nothing new). Just needs more personality and uniqueness I think.ukit2
- Disagree. Let the content do the talking.set

honestly, if qbn went away, it would just be a few more minutes each week i'd get back (much better than the few hours it used to consume years ago)...
at one time this site seemed to be a gathering for those who were excited about the relative newness of the internet and everything that was going on in that realm along with related technologies and hardware, and the seemingly larger-than-life personalities that were leading that charge who often posted here. i think it's something very different today - i'm not sure what exactly, but it's different..

Current homepage has good amount to see at fist glance; EC x1, x6 features, Public x6, etc.
Meanwhile the new layout has about 2 and 2 half features (maybe x4 at max), 2 and half Public. Less contents means I have to scroll first thing.
Plus it feels like I'm on a MS spin-off/acquired company (that blue tile-looking feeling). But seeing as this is for fun... yeh, good for discussion.- In my opinion the whole idea of getting as much as possible above the non existential fold is not relevant anymoreset
- everyone scrolls. I'll scroll all day if it's content I want to see.set
- you can't get it all on one page on a layout that adapts to all screen sizes,set
- why do you need a layout that adapts to all screen sizes? current one works fine... (devil's advocate)monNom

Is there a blueprint for a NT like site somewhere?
Kind of a feature list that exists yet?
Like what needs the backend to be capable of for such a site?

Does anyone start to find that some new templates have better esthetics then custom web design?
- YES! Screw custom sites.fredddddd
- Templates are designed by someone, right?ukit2
- yeah by designers, template editors should be called "template editors"moldero
- Yes, Im saying from majority of design. Before it used be custom design looked better. at least to me.yurimon
- I know what you mean.
And I don't like it.mikotondria3 - Its because good designers are seeing the potential of having a good design sold to many people over and over again.mantrakid
