Suggestion ko lang baguhin yung banner kasi malaswa tingnan. Hindi naman lahat ng cosplayers ganyan di ba? Plus hindi attractive yung colors pati font niya. Yun lang po.

Thanks for the feedback, Chloebs! Pinoy Cosplay takes the same development approach as Google: the perpetual beta. We're already working on the next version of the banner. :)

Can we provide our own banner as well? My sister & I would like to help you make this forum alive!

Feel free to suggest banners, buttons, group icons, avatars, smileys, skins, mods, and other customizations to spruce up PinoyCosplay! We can even rotate banners from various artists for variety. Forums are all about user-created content. :)

For maximum fun, we can even post seasonal banners like Google's.



PinoyCosplay.com runs on Invision Power Board v1.3 Final. Popular and heavily supported, the software offers many customization options. For resources on how to customize various aspects of the interface, click here. If you'd like some mascot lineart, Karlonne's done fantastic work on Gabriela and Mamaki.

Just keep in mind that with our current hosting, we cannot support server-side modifications. ;)

Cool! I'll send you some links for icons/smileys you can use!

Great! Keep in mind that PinoyCosplay.com's open browsing and search engine optimization give you a wide-open audience.

All forum customizations must be either completely original, properly licensed, or public domain. :)

ok kung about sa bannaer sure i can change it....problem lang is sino ang pwede mag color ng artworks ko?

Jenny & I will be submitting our own banners soon. Just choose kung anong gusto niyo. Etong current banner kasi natin parang IBA yung pinopromote. Pagbukas ko pa lang ng site b00bz na agad babati sakin hahahahahaa! :lol:

Great, Chloebs! We look forward to your contributions. Mamaki's pose in our current banner reflects PinoyCosplay.com's system: open and inviting. :)

By the way, may I repost your new cosplay wallpaper over at the gallery? It's kewl. B) Put a dial on the base and it's a HeroClix. ;)

Wag lang cash... hehe~

Suggest ko sa white background palitan kasi nakakasilaw. :blink: kailangan pang
mag shades. B) para di sakit ulo.

Viva Pinoycosplay!

Thanks, Jag! Your suggestion is noted. White is Invision's default background -- but we don't necessarily have to stick to defaults. ;)

In fact, you can test alternate color schemes with this handy tool. :)

Maganda nga white & blue e! malinis tingnan. Kasi kung black nanaman parang FC atmosphere...gloomy! Yung banner lang talaga yung dapat palitan. :P

@mike: Lolz! Sige post mo yung wallpaper ko...kaw bahala hahaha! Wala kasi akong magawa sa buhay nung ginawa ko yun. :lol:

suggest ko lang :D hakot kau ng iba pang cosplayers :-p wakokokokok

there really should be a general chatts place as well as a place for new members to introduce themselves.

Welcome to Pinoy Cosplay, Christine! Like Google, this service takes a perpetual beta development approach. New categories will appear as more users need them, and appropriate topics will move into those categories. Right now, noncosplay chat and member introductions can be posted at Cosplay Miscellaneous. :)

uy... gagawin ata nila ganito yung banner.... mas maganda sya kesa sa una sa totoo lang...

galing nang suggestion mo wantan... binago na nga nila!

Lolz! Oo nga eh nadagdagan tuloy ng hinaharap hahaha! Anyway, tinatapos na namin ni Jenny yung version namin. Post ko na lang dito kung ok na. :lol:

Gabriela was actually supposed to come in last week. She looked a little pale, so I spent some quality time with her last night. ;)

Jenny & I have our own original characters (male & female). Pwede ba yun sayo? Basta post ko na lang dito then tell us what you think. ;)

@mike: ummm dumami hinaharap nga, it would be better kung male and female nga lyk wantan said.

hi, just new here.. *ima skip the formalities etc..*

hmm.. since the forum is a registered .com domain, how bout making it look more like a website, of course this forum would be in it.. a lot of new ones we see nowadays are made using php/forum driven etc.. a nice splash page and index would be refreshing.. something not too grand, pede na un simple design tulad ng sa animesource.com of course they long since evolved from an info/event/review site into a sharing source and dload resource from being just a board.. and modified some code to make it feel more like a webbie that is more than just a board. a work with direction

i think na dapat may iba, as to what chidori was reffering to, that seems to be the case not just the looks but the content.. of course no 2 content are exactly the same but id assume u get my drift..

pra naman hinde mag mukang clone ng isang partcular forum na established na.. tho promotion of rivalry has its benefits, sana naman driven by passion eto at hinde kung ano... anyways, goodluck to pinoycosplay.com!! hope to see lotsa stuff here soon.. hehe its like the wwe, pag nagkataon.. well have the smackdown and raw factions :ph43r:

Good ideas, tabz! As the community continues to grow, we may want to diversify our suite of services in the future. :)

To be honest, I've long had my eye on Invision's integrated blogging platform, but that would have to wait for software and hosting upgrades. Same with RSS. ;)

Hmmm...maybe Jen & I can make a homepage for this forum so it would look professional & not just an ordinary messageboard. But we will use our own original characters for that.

Current hosting doesn't support custom homepages, Chloebs. Don't worry; soon as we can invest more moolah into the service, we'll upgrade hosting.

Then, we look forward to hosting your page designs. ;)

So ano yung difference nang FC dito? I don't think you answered the question and I'm also curious.

hello! ^_^

i'm just new here and just got out of my lurker mode XP

anyway...what's the difference with Pinoycosplay and Filcosplay?
both has the same bbs running its backend, both has the same sections and topics (and some are carbon copies)

the only difference that i could see are the template, the banner and the technical mumbo jumbo...

what's so different about this place?

Yeah, I know it sounds like technical mumb-jumbo. What does this all do for Filipino cosplayers, anyway?

Here are the two most evident benefits:

Top-level domain mapping
You can tell friends to go to PinoyCosplay.com without having them remember some long, cryptic address with subdirectories and subdomains just to stay logged in.

That's less mumbo-jumbo for new users to remember. "PinoyCosplay.com" is easier to use and remember than "s7.invisionfree.com/**********", or an often-down "**********.tk" domain that requires you to login every few minutes.

It also means less frustration for new users who aren't "in the know" on some long, cryptic address with subdirectories and subdomains -- and thus, lower barriers to potential members.

Open read-only access
People freely browse PinoyCosplay.com without having to register. You can directly link to topics, posts, profiles, and events in emails, chats, blogs, and other forums without requiring your readers to register.

The result is free flow of information. The community becomes more inclusive, the conversations attract new people with fresh ideas, cliquism is discouraged, and your ideas get the open audience they deserve.

Bottom line: open, accessible systems enable open, accessible communities. :)

Ah, so the only difference is the technical side but most of the data here are copied from FC din? So what's the use? IMO, it's just an mirror image.

It's not about one-way data. It's about open conversation.

Closed systems create closed communities. PinoyCosplay.com's open system attracts new proposals and ideas that would have difficulty penetrating a closed community. :)

AYOS! MAY BAGONG TAMBAYAN! Ayos to Comrade Mike!!! Sana maging raging tikas ang PC!!!! PC ROCKS! let's make this a real cosplay community!!!

if it's OPEN conversation, IMO, a visitor/guest should be able to posts their ideas without even registering their usernames.

i have inkling of what proposals you are talking about... but that proposal are still in FC. actually most of the events posted here are just copy and pasted from the posts of the original posters. so back to my question, what is the difference?

I'm glad you have a sense for that openness, steel_angel. To maintain quality of service for all members and readers, all user-generated content hosted on the service must be associated with a free member account. :)

You're right; I've liberated public information useful to cosplayers from other inaccessible, required-registration services. On one such service, only 864 people can see that information.

Filipino cosplayers deserve better than to have their ideas thrown around tiny cliques.

puti dito dun black lol

but honestly fc and pc seems the same pwera sa technicality but for me fc and pc is ok with me

Welcome to Pinoy Cosplay, Allan! Good to see global Filipino cosplayers bringing in Filipino perspectives on global cosplay. :)
