Does anyone know any place to get gaming themes? Are there any other XOOPS gaming sites out there? My site is BornSlacker.com. I've altered a montisarts theme for our team, but I've yet to see any other gaming sites made with xoops.

Sup fellow xoopsers..
I have a gaming site with 50+ team members and we've set it up where any member can challenge any other member to a duel in BF2.
I was wondering if anyone could suggest a module where one person could challenge anoher person and they could maybe make notes as to what gun is to be used and all that good jazz.
It would have to keep a point system or something that would keep track of how many wins and losses each player has. I know there is the team module but that only works for an entire team. Is there a way to maybe clone the team module and I can edit some of the features?

I agree with you on some points. Stylesheet is very helpful in web design, but I don't think they will be the "sole" means of bringing content to the web. In case you haven't noticed ISP's are in a bandwidth race. You have Verizon bringing Fiber to the Premesis services that gives customer 15megs down and 2megs up for 40-50 bucks a month. Once this become the norm for most of society, you will see more graphic rich themes. CSS only themes rarely are able to stand out and make an impact on the person looking at the site. To an accomplished web designer I'm sure that you can appreciate the complexity of a css only theme, but to the average user they are just bland.
P.S. I have modified an existing theme, again, I'm not asking for a theme. Simply asking "why" the entire community insists on lowering their standards in terms of themes, when they have such high standards for the actual code.

Even the Nuke themes require you to alter and modify their module equivalents to match the themes that you are using. so their not all plug n play and pretty like it sounds in this thread.
Open photoshop....draw a groovy box with a header area...apply your style and design to it, and slice it up.
Simple.
Find another theme that uses graphics to surround the blocks...alter the graphical content to be yours instead of the default...
umm.....15 maybe 20 minutes worth of 'work'?
The style sheet is even easier than that...and style sheets are the future of web design and content management in my opinion...make up your mind..are we behind, or are we at the front?
I choose the extra hour of my time to alter a theme for my own liking over other CMS's that are less secure, cost money everytime you turn around looking for a decent module, and only has fantasy/gaming geeks as support members!
(thanks for letting me blow off that steam!)

Yes, that is much better. I'm not suggesting that a theme has to have a billion graphics to be good. I'm just saying that the very "blockish" plain css theme is getting a bit old. I like that theme very much.

Is this "thinking outside of the blocks" enough for you?
And yes, it will be available soon.Look for the NuVu theme in the next couple days.

You called the "themes above" bloated. I then said if someone were to submit a theme like the ones above you would call them "bloated"... how is that misquoting you??
The main problem of XOOPS is that it isn't addepted by the gaming and fantasy community, so there are relative few themes which are bloated as the examples above.

And to all the people who can't come up with something better than "you should do it yourself"... XOOPS used to have the slogan "just use it". XOOPS is made for people who don't have the ability to code, but still would like a decent site. So it only makes sense that the people here would be asking for themes.

So we never should have all made the switch to digital phones? We should all still be driving huge gas hog vehicles? Hell, why don't we all just go live in the woods. 
I can see why there aren't themes like this on the site, if anyone released one you'd call it "bloated" and claim it's a bad design.
