Thank you Randy, I appreciate it
alot.
Yes I am using the fantastic Vortex template I managed to insert and organize within a week of xus downtime. I am very glad with it and it comes with so many awesome features that it even ate 700 of unneccesary loading speed I have removed easily though. I can help you out once you get Vortex template however there are also tens of very active people on the Rocket Theme Forum which usually respond to you within 10 minutes.
XUS is using alot of commercial extensions, therefore it's so well done and greatly featured. Most of the CB Plugins are from Mike (you can find him in the JSMF 2.0 board under p9andloadsofothernumbers) which has also helped me alot and makes extensions a normal freelancer would ask hundreds of dollars for.
I am no Coder either, I don't know
any coding language except for html. I do learn it pretty slowly by looking at the plugins sources and replacing codes.
I am more of an Organizer and Founder, Manager and Leader.
If I had the money, I would hire a coder for the site myself but I am still very young and currently dont even have a job anymore.
Anyways, so I paid alot of money I own my parents back for doing this site, but I am really hoping to earn back the money with the site.
The good thing though, is that I barely have to pay any more money now as I already purchased most things.... soon though I will need to get vps hosting which might be another 60 bucks a month and thats alot for me.
I am very glad you like the site and I hope it can be an example to a really rich Joomla Site out there as I see lots and lots of really basic "news" trying to do all of this but just keep reaching a maximum of 100 visitors a day..
I am also happy that you might show some support by linking to us.
The XUS Community is still very small but all people who post in our nice SMF Forum, expect the site to become very big. However, we still don't have anything big to support us.. we are looking for serious advertisement on our site and a main sponsor.
The only awesome thing that helped us raise the number of users was a very random announcement on the frontpage of
www.xbox-scene.com, which the admin (one of our first 200 members - I dont know him) recommended our site and we got overflown by visitors and guests a few nights.
I'd be glad to help you out with your site. If you really want something as my site I recommend hiring me for a few dollars so I can organize things at your site.. but who am I to recommend that... right.. all I need is some money to support xus more.
You've been the owner of which company??
Edit: Oh if you do signup for RocketTheme, please ask me first so I can give you my ref. link
