Alright everyone, As some of you may know, I've been paying for the heroesofthenet.com address that the forum uses for easier access. What you shouldn't know though is that that couple lines of code that lets that work sits on a full-fledged website hosting account (99.99% uptime included). And I could pretty easily change that over from just the parked domain that it is now to an add-on domain, on which we could relaunch the entire heroes of the net forum. And I've got options on what forum software we could use. SMF, AEF, phpBB, myBB, Phorum, whatever. And we could expand beyond that to be pretty much whatever, the options aren't limited to just forums. Could go for a full-on content management system and have a website that just happens to have a forum. And if we wanted ads, ads would go back into the the site, rather than some mysterious entity as we have it now. Let me know your thoughts, alright? |

Sounds like a good idea. Although we still need to breath fresh life into the site... |

Yeah, and I'm working on a couple of other sites, as well. One is a game site, the other is for a guild in one of the games I play. I'm tempted to tie all three together in some way. |

Meow. This is Nubi and I approve of this message. Real input: Considering options for HotN and where we could take it. What it could be, outside of a free forum. If you guys have any ideas, let them be known. I'll follow up after I've taken some time to think about it. |

There's nothing that says we have to be anything but a free forum. But there IS a lot more we could do. I've got a couple websites to setup now, once I get aorund to it. And I'm seriously considering pitching HotN as a centralized hub forum for all of them (been debating how to centralize things anyways). So anyways, here's the ideas I have right now (in no particular order): 1. Free Online Forum - Keep it exactly as it is now. Obviously, that's not really go anywhere without giving the entire thing a swift kick the arse. 2. Privately Hosted Online Forum - Kinda like now, except rather than just having the standard ZetaBoards forum, we have whatever forum software we want, and can expand on it in ways you couldn't do in ZB without access to the entire codebase. 3. Centralized Forum for whatever Kag is brewing - I've recently started doing game playthroughs and I'm thinking about doing reviews and other miscelaneous game-related things, and as of right now, do not have a centralized forum or meeting place for anything I am currently planning/working on. "Heroes Of the Net", is a pretty cool name, all things said. 4. Centralized Site for Kag's Brews - Like #3, except more than just a forum. I have ideas on how I'd like to expand out on this, but I'd need to talk to the Nubi about this a bit more in depth. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - And now, random stats.... A quick run on the numbers says... This topic has had 40 views in the 8 days it's been up. In the last month, there have been 8 unique users that logged in. In the last two months, that goes up to 10. In the last three months, 12. Last four months, 14. Last five, 15. Last seven, 16. Last year, 19-20, depending on whether or not un-validated users count. |

Looks like it's probably going to be option 2. I'll still need to get with Nubi about it though. |
