I was rather bored earlier and i wanted to do something so i decided to create a website for abyss powered websites.. i know trustabyss has a directory full of them but my site is slighty different.. btw the first 3 sites on the main page were me testing so if you don't want them there aprelium, abyssunderground and trustabyss then just say and i will remove them asap.

quick edit:
If you want your site listed use this form and select add my link from the subject drop down menu

Looks good. Just a shame its not running on abyss itself :-(
jibbajabba
thanks, yeah it is a shame but i'm thinking about removing a site what needs apache and saving up for x2 version :)

Hello jibbajabba,
Nice site, you have. Can you list my site? Why not. It's powered by Abyss.
Thanks.
jibbajabba
Sure will and look above for reason why the site is not powered by abyss :)
AbyssUnderground
Whats wrong with hosting it on your server? Its at home isnt it? If not, im sure you could persuade me to host it for you if you wanted :-)
jibbajabba
i don't have the paid version so can only host 1 site on my home pc.. the abyss-websites site is on a windows vps, 100mbit port, anyway i think i'll let the website what needs apache die out and save up for the paid version of abyss so i can host my other 2 sites aswell :)
AbyssUnderground
If its on a VPS can you not install Abyss? A proper VPS should have root access.
jibbajabba
yes i can install abyss but i need to be able to create virtualhosts and x1 don't do that so i'll need x2 which at the moment i can't afford so i'll need to save up for it.
aprelium
jibbajabba,
Congratulations for this initiative and thank you for your support.
jibbajabba
Thanks aprelium, be better when i have the site on abyss rather than apache :)

Update: Have now added a 5 star rating script so you can now rate each website. Hope you like it :-)
Was wondering should i add a shoutbox so people can comment?
TRUSTAbyss
No, unless you have Moderators to keep an eye on the user comments. SPAM
can be posted anywhere. Guestbooks, Forums, Chats etc.
I would stick with the user rating thing more.
jibbajabba
i'll trial a shoutbox for a month or so and see how it goes, it has a control panel so i can remove unwanted messages and i'll be able to ban the ips of those unwanted messages if i need to.

UPDATE:
New christmas theme has been done for the site. Does it look ok?
Ralph
jibbajabba,
It looks pretty good, a nice touch there to add some Christmas cheer into the forum.
jibbajabba
Decided to give the banner a new makeover and new font.. what you think
AbyssUnderground
Can I suggest you thumbnail the snapshots of the sites. 50KB per image is very high. You could get that down to about 7KB with a compressed JPEG.
jibbajabba
Alright all website screenshots have now been changed to jpeg, they have been resized and compressed as best as i can do without loosing the quality.
Size of the site before the change was 2.65mb
The size is now 893kb
thanks for the tip andy :-)
AbyssUnderground
Ouch! You've broken the site in FF. Not tried in IE. The new "Page X" images have made the screenshots shoot off to the right.
