KGB GFX is Moving!

Posted By: Ace07369 @ Jun 14 2008, 05:04 PM
KGB GFX is Moving! As the title states KGB Graphics is moving to a new site, Artistic Core. I want to try and keep this post as short as possible but try and provide adequate information at the same time so please bear with me. As you all know, I want to try and provide this community with the best of the best, and I take pride in caring for you, the members. Over the past few months KGB has been getting less and less active (though recently activity has picked up, and I thank you for that). But if we look at the stats closely we will see that out of 470+ members only 50-100 are actually active (may be an over statement). I feel that some of the members here are losing interest in KGB because of the lack of activeness and source of fresh members, and I wanted to do something about that and try fixing it. I have teamed up with Friction (past owner of SLD), and together we have created, and both co-own, a new gfx community, Artistic Core. After talking for awhile we decided it was best for both of our sites to merge together into a new “fresh” graphic arts community that would bring together and merge what both communities had, a passion for art and discussion. Please don’t think KGB merged into SLD or via verse. It was mutually decided that both sites would close down and become a new, united, gfx community. I hope you can all see the future potential this move has, as much as I can. The new community will be much like what KGB is now, basically a gfx site where you can post your work to be critiqued, participate in site competitions, or just relax and post in the off-topic discussion. And it’s not like you are leaving all your KGB friends…I encourage all of you to re-join on Artistic Core, and become part of the new community. So it’s basically the same old KGB, but with a new name, and some awesome new features, plus many more new members. Also let me make this clear, I am not leaving or resigning. Friction and I are both co-owners of this new site, and we both co-admin the site as well. We both think along similar paths and by us both influencing the site and working together can provide many new features to this site that will benefit you as a member. Basically that wraps it up. I look forward to seeing all of you guys on the new site, and hopefully you look forward to seeing this community move forward in a positive direction. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please contact me. Please remember that I wouldn’t do anything that I feel would hurt this community. I felt that this move was in the better interest of the community and it will benefit the further progression of it aswell. Link to Artistic Core : Here. Hope to see you all on Artistic Core. Thanks.

KGB GFX v3 is now released!!!

Posted By: Ace07369 @ May 23 2008, 07:20 PM
KGB v3 has now been Released. The long waited for, and much anticipated KGB GFX v3 has now been released. I hope you guys enjoy all the new features of v3 and if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions please speak up. Below is a run through of all the new “stuff” that v3 has to offer, so please take the time to read it so you can become acquainted with the new KGB. I would also like to say that KGB grows each day, and hopefully with the release of v3 we will become a much more active community. Hopefully the old members will become as active as they once were, and I hope that the new members will become active too… KGB GFX v3 focuses more on forum discussion specifically targeted towards the art aspect. You will see new sections for art and graphics discussion, more contests, and other “art” features. Not only did we want to expand the art discussion on KGB, but we also wanted to expand general forum discussion. You will also see many new sections that focus on general chatter ranging from music to movies to video games. We want KGB GFX to be just a fun forum to hang out, chat, and discuss art. Hope you enjoy the new KGB v3. New Features and Explanation run-through: No specific order to these, just a run down of what’s new for KGB v3. ~ 2 New Skins – As you have hopefully noticed KGB GFX has changed skins to help improve the “feel and vibe” of KGB v3. The main skin is currently “KGB_DarkJoyi”; this is the new dark skin for KGB which integrates black with blue. The second new skin for KGB is “KGB_LiteUP”. This skin is for those who enjoy crisp and clean light colored themes. Both new skins were created by myself, and hopefully you will enjoy them. For those members that loved “KGB_Absolute” or “KGB_BuBBles” don’t fear, you can still select those skins from the skin selector. Note KGB_Lite.UP will be released soon! ~ New Layout* – For KGB v3 a new forum layout has been implemented. As stated before there are new sections to post and discuss in. Enjoy the new sections, and fill them up quickly! ~ New Staff – Since most of KGB’s old staff wasn’t very active (or fulfilling their staff duties) it was decided that all (moderator and resource crew) staff will be wiped for v3. KGB GFX will open up staff applications again very shortly, and only those members who are going to be active and dedicate should apply/re-apply. ~ KGB GFX Crew – It was decided that the KGB GFX Crew needed to be “re-vamped” and pruned (since over half the members were inactive). So within the next week or so old/inactive members of the KGB GFX Crew will be pruned. If you feel that you still want to be part of the Crew then please re-apply. ~ Forum Wide Competitions – For v3 we want to provide more competitions for members to take part in. Below are some competitions that will be started soon on KGB. KoKGB – Kings of KGB will begin in early June, so please stay tuned. DoTF – Hopefully Design of the Fortnight will start in the near future. This contest will most likely be “bi-weekly”. SoTW – This well-known competition will most likely be starting up again soon, due to popular demand. MoTM – Member of the month will continue to be a monthly competition. Except there is a new way to become MoTM…its totally random. To have a chance at becoming KGB MoTM all you have to do is sign up for the KGB Member Lottery (pinned thread in MoTM section). Your one post in that thread is your ticket. Then each month a randomly chosen “lottery” winner will be interviewed and crowned. ~ Posting Contest – Near the release of v3 a posting contest will be held on KGB. The concept is quite simple; the member with the most posts at the end of the contest wins a prize. Simple enough and this should be a big hit. This may also turn into a “mini-Monthly” Contest (just think of all the points you will rack up!) The winner will also get their own “Contest Winner” member group color for a month. Just one rule: No Spamming! ~ Refurbished Points System – Points will mean more on KGB now. It will be harder to earn them, and they will be used for more things (buy access to the “secret lounge”, play the arcade, buy items from Points shop (new items for purchase too) and member stores. These points are most likely going to be the main prize for many contests and member challenges….Remember the richer you are on KGB, the better off you are too. ~ Refurbished Member Stores – There were hardly any member stores before so we decided that not only will the member stores be used for selling right, but now members can set up shop and sell their services (aka. Requests, avatar creation, user-bars…etc). Hopefully this will encourage members to set up a shop, sell their skills, and earn some KGB points. ~ Refurbished Member Teams – For v3 a clean out of all member teams has occurred (since no teams were active), so let’s start fresh! Members are once again encouraged to start up their own team and then battle other teams. The Member team MOD will not be used. Instead teams will have to apply via a thread. Each accepted team will get to choose their own team color and will have their own member group. People voted to keep member teams around for v3, so let’s get to creating some teams! ~ KGB Magazine – Hopefully now that v3 has been released we can buckle down and get the first edition of the KGB Magazine published and released. Then we will begin working on a “more smoothly run” second edition. Staff positions will become available so if you are interested please stay tuned. ~ KGB Secret Lounge- Yes that’s right, as suggested there is a secret lounge now for v3. It is only accessible if you pay for access (via KGB Points), or have enough posts to enter….and no, I am not going to tell you what’s in it, but trust me its good. ~ Spring Cleaning – Since we have progressed from KGB v1 to v3 a lot of unnecessary “build up” has occurred. So for v3 we have cleaned up the forums a little. We have cleaned out old affiliates, old portal sections, redone the forum section descriptions, re-vamped the application section (much easier now), and many more minor changes. Well those are some of the major changes for KGB GFX v3. I hope that you guys are excited to help get this community growing and active again. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions please let any of the staff know. Please enjoy KGB Graphics v3. I hope to see you all around the forums. Now, let’s get posting. Thanks. Enjoy. Ace` p.s. - Also please bare with us during the v3 release, things will still be changing and being completed till possibly next week....and the profile view for the skin is being completed atm.
