I haven't really thought about it, but as of now I'm more than happy with just being an ordinary member

Would you ever try your hand at making themes for other forum software like MyBB?

How log have you been theme designing?

 

[Zap]

Would you ever try your hand at making themes for other forum software like MyBB?

Definitely! It was a coincidence that I started out doing phpBB themes (helped out a friend that has a phpBB forum), and I'm really keen on learning MyBB theming. XenForo is of course also on my list, but the standards of the XF theme developers are really high, so I'd like a bit more practice before I go that way.

How log have you been theme designing?

Since the start of the pandemic. I've fiddled around with HTML and CSS since around 2009, but it wasn't till the pandemic I really had the time and interest of developing an entire theme.

Do you have any experience with JavaScript?

 

[Zap]

Do you have any experience with JavaScript?

Barely! I've been trying to play around with it for a while, but I'm not super motivated. I need some goal or project that requires quite a lot of JS to spark my interest for it.

 

[Ash]

Yeah, I've been trying to learn some JavaScript as well but I just can't be bothered to start.

What's the most expensive thing you've bought?

What's the most expensive thing you've bought?

An apartment, by far!

Would you sue someone for damages if they trashed your apartment/ house that you rented out to them?

Would you sue someone for damages if they trashed your apartment/ house that you rented out to them?

I am renting out an apartment right now, but I've got insurance that covers stuff like that. So no, I wouldn't sue, but the insurance company probably would.

Do you have plans for the weekend?

Do you have plans for the weekend?

Just going to work a little bit on my studies

Hehe, no worries! About 170 000 GBP. There's a mortgage in the mix though, of course.

What causes you stress in your life?

 

[Zap]

What causes you stress in your life?

Oh man, a lot! I'm quite a neurotic person, so I get stressed out by everything that doesn't go as planned, everything that has a deadline, and everything that demands that I perform in some way. The largest stress factor in my life is probably my university and MA program.

 

[Empire]

How do you chill from stressing out

How do you chill from stressing out

Find a distraction, be it friends, my girlfriend, a movie, a podcast. If distractions are hard to come about, I'll do some breathing exercises.
