the fact that people still think qbn will be updated??! ahahaha
It Will Never Fucking Happen!
NO. SERIOUSLY. IT WILL NEVER FUCKING HAPPEN.
You and I (yes you), will only have this site. Unless you want to purchase the three letter URL from JK (YES YOU!), we will interact on this site until the hosting fees are no longer paid.

My fellow brethren. I bumpeth...
We are a talented lot, I think. Some of us even know how to use Twitter! We can code and design, we have tools and services at our fingertips. We have grand opinions, some needs and our numbers are dwindling. I propose a dream.
If some were to rise up and put forth a valiant effort, possibly converting brother Set's drunken, responsive design to a living, breathing site of code... and somehow hosting such a miraculous vision was come by with ease... would we not want to grasp such a heart-exploding vision of the future for ourselves? For our children?
So are we gonna have some fun here or what kids?... what say thee?!!

Could get the ball rolling...

What would you like if QBN had a theoretical 2.0?

i was considering bringing set's mocks to life, as a starting point. and going from there. set would have to chime in on this.

I think it's gorgeous and would love to see it brough to life. Think you knocked it out the park set. It's minimal and usable but also has enough personality to be interesting without getting in the way.

However, given how the qnn owners arent very likely to do anything about and how we wouldn't want to infringe on any copyrights I'm assuming it will need an entirely new brand.
It would probably make most sense if the designer of the site came up with the new brand, for consistency. As long as set doesnt call it something like 'Designers are cunts!' :D

- branding would be the last step imo. which is backwards, but hey. that's light years away.prophetone
- so perhaps... NBQ.com?horton

brands are not relevant it's community that matters

I would pay for this to happend

Come on QBN! Pull your fingers out and update, its time!!

The question is, if a new QBN see the light, would you want subscriptions to re-open and see a bunch of newbies arriving everyday?
- no. some sort of thunderdome membership system would have to be employed.prophetone
- benfal990
Because if QBN's Masters ever rebuild the website, i'm pretty sure they will re-open the subscriptions and try to moneytize the project in various ways (i'll do the same). That mean our little group of tight friends would be floaded by strangers :P

The Google+ QBN isnt' bad, I would totally adopt it if QBN.com close down.
https://plus.google.com/u/0/comm…- Does it support animated GIF's? If not fuck it.ArmandoEstrada
- yes! :) Animated gif, Vimeo etc. etc.benfal99

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!!!

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..

So, who owns this place? Any one have any ideas why they wouldn't want a free redesign?
- cannonball19780
Let's be honest here. There should not be a redesign.
Some part of each and everyone one of us wants to quit this place and get on with our days. Yes, it's a much beloved site, and many memories have been had, but it's like a favorite grandma. One that's old and falling apart and finally letting all her racism just hang out because she doesn't care anymore. You love her. You want her to be happy, but it's time. She's had a full life and you get the feeling that prolonging things is just... well it's just not what should happen.
We must pay tribute, and honor QBN with a proper send-off. The end should be one of intent, and good cheer. Like all things that once lived, the organic traffic of QBN should disperse into the universal entropy, to later reform again on some other gathering online.
