Well first off i would like to thank OpaQue for setting up the reservations for a graphics website that Me, BuffaloHELP, Johnny, and the Trap17 GFX Crew worked hard on to make it a success here at trap17.com

through many discussions and ideas that we have talked about through the course of many weeks and months to help make the most out of the graphics forum, the idea came to mind to branch off for many reasons.

1: Clear up some room in all the forums through all the sites that are connected here. By doing this we prevent the spam flow to next to nothing to help make the sites more community friendly to help those who seek it.

2: With the clear success trap17.com been having with the graphics forum, by branching off we believe that we can expand the content that we already have here to far more depths then ever before.

3: But to help make this a success with this branch off we need you the members to help out as well any suggestions that you have that could help make this graphics site a big success as the rest of the Xisto Corporation (trap17.com, trap17.net, astahost.com, computerhosting.com, ipbgaming.com).

4: Also during this time several concepts are in the works on this site right now which include the request a free sig/banner and a sig template store. Hopefully more ideas come to mind during this process.

SO what is it that I want you to do its simple you get to decided the name of the gfx site which i have posted here today.

The Website will give main introduction and support and then extract topics from Trap17 forum.

To get complete support and traffic and also reap advantages of Trap17 SE targetting, I have decided to use the same forum. Members on Trap17 Graphics site will register at Trap17 (form will be on Gfx site) and when participating, they will be directly redirected within the Trap17 Gfx forum.

The only advantage to this is :-

1] Large Member base support of Trap17
2] Contents would be indexed faster
3] Added Boosting of Trap17 Pagerank.

Any other ideas are most welcome

I'm confused, is it to be a separate forum to the main forums here or just a sub-forum of here? No that it matters either way to me, just don't understand the benefits if it is to be a sub-forum.

And in case you are interested, I voted for 'gfxtrap'. Sounds kinda catchy.

right now its going to directed to the current gfx subforum for now. due to all the stuff that is in their right now.

But my vote goes for gfxtrap cause i thought of the catchly slogan for it.

"Trapped in a World of GFX's "

I like the sound of traphix it's like graphix.. but not and a added trap in it.. no?
Graphix + Trap = Traphix
well I would of voted for the first one "trapped in a world of gfx" but i did the null vote thing to see what other people liked and now i don't know how to add my vote to the poll. It's catchy and not EXTREMELY cheese.

Well, somebody had to be different.
Who would've thought it would be me?
I voted for trapgfx in order to maintain a 'branding' approach to the trap services.
trap17 dot com, dot net and now gfx.
They all keep the name 'trap' up front in the presentation.

I do like the catch phrase for the other name better though.
"Trapped in a world of gfx."

I voted for trapgfx for the same reason the jlhaslip did. Besides I think that trapping graphics, like capturing them, makes good sense!

To me, gfxtrap sounds much better than trapgfx. For th sole reason that the other xisto sites dont all start with trap
