Bolty, this sounds great! Shifting to a user submission system just makes so much sense for the Lounge. Especially with the integrated setup with Joomla and myBB you're describing, that sounds really interesting!
Also, although I have been pretty much invisible here for a while, I have been doing something useful in the meantime: getting my comp sci diploma! I am pretty comfortable with fiddling with html, css and php if you need any extra help. ;)
My skills are much more along the back-end coding side, but I've spent a lot of time learning the (many) quirks of css as well. So I may not be able to come up with a fancy visual design, but I can implement one pretty handily.:D
Although I haven't been here for all 10 years, I think I started visiting frequently in 2001 sometime, and eventually even registered too! I've always enjoyed reading the discussions about game mechanics, strategy, and politics with a calibre that you just don't find many places on the internet. This place has warm memories for me, although I am definitely one of the more 'lurker-like' members round here.:)
I look forward to the changes!
