- Compatible versions
- 2.2
To XF 2.2.8 users: Please try "automatic merge" if prompted template conflicts after the XF upgrade from 2.2.7 version. Comment in the discussion thread of this style here if you have found compatibility issues.
My manual update of this style for XF 2.2.8 is scheduled in January 2022, unless there are urgent compatibility issues reported.
------
I have my nostalgia with CS-CN (previously counter-strike china forum, renamed to composers-china forum since June 5th, 2021) which was popular around 2004, hence my reproduction of its forum theme for XenForo 2. This version doesn't require frameworks but I will release another version of this theme alongside a special framework add-on (to make things simpler when adopting with XenForo 2 further 2nd-point release upgrades.).
The standalone version is free but will be unmaintained as long as the framework version becomes available to the public as a paid plugin. Since then you may modify and maintain this standalone version by yourself, but please no resposting without my written permission.
See FAQ if you have doubts regarding changes to the staff bar (moderation menus, etc.).

HISTORY
The original theme color palette was from NewvBB 2004 (a nulled brand release of vBulletin 3.0.x only) which built-in style was made by 007pig.

(The following screenshot made from my computer after my manual migration of the theme to vBulletin 3.8 releases.)
One of the sitemasters of CSCN, "xgao", tweaked the theme with a new chrome color (2004).
