I tried to change the theme like 4 times before I realized this was a joke. I have been bamboozled.

  Hmm, it should actually work, though it is a joke...
  Themes are a bit broken right now, lemme check out what's going on.

    Any reason you guys did the site from scratch instead of making an add-on module or hacking up one of the mature message board systems?

      Well, Jeff would probably be best at answering this one, but for me, I wanted to learn how to build things, not just use them. I have a real job at a big corporation, and being able to innovate and build things yourself is a huge plus. I can work on things at the office, figure it out, and apply it to RH when I get home. Perfect example is the Google Maps integration.
      Also, because we built it ourselves, we can easily make improvements since we know how everything works. If you want a new feature, we can make it work. Messing with someone else's source code is not only confusing, but sometimes a huge undertaking.
      Good question though, do you have coding background? Just curious, most people wouldn't have asked that, heh.

        I used to code, haven't done anything major in the last three years and I've hosted forums for various groups. I usually just grabbed Drupal code or something like that and just added modules to it to make it work like I want.
        
        The color theming idea is a valid feature request, but in the grand scheme of things there are a lot of other things that I'd put first as far as features go.

    So, after pushing out the new update with the Google Maps, seems I broke it. Oh well, you win this time Adrian!!

What is Rollerhome All About?

We love rollerblading and like many of you, we live on the web. There are a lot of places where rollerblading and the web mix, but over the years we realized something was missing. Most of the websites are just blogs with a forum, which is fine if that's all you want, but there's so much more that can be done.

Rollerhome was designed to give you everything you could ask for in a rollerblading community. We've been doing this stuff since before Google registered google.com. Yeah, that long. We've seen what works and what doesn't, what people want and what they don't want.

We want this to be your site, your home online. If you have any suggestions on how we can make it better, please let us know in the forums.
