I am making a site with FAQs for over 500 games!!!!! Info on over 300 upcoming games will be available aswell!!!!! The site is dedicated to the Forgotten Realms!!!!! I will also have forums for posting anything, expect boards on my top 25 favorite available games and 25 soon to be released games!!!! I'll have downloads available which I have designed myself, along with portraits, custom characters & items, and an area for those of you who register to have a special forum available to only the first 300 applicants!!! Any Ideas or comments is what I'm searching for!!!!!

Could you PLEASE stop with multiple exclamation marks or ?s in your posts Fat Egg?
My head starts to hurt every time I read anything you write. We can all see your posts quite well without them. They don't add anything to the effect or quality of what you write, they just make you seem immature and childish.
I could set the boards to limit the number you can use to one, but since you're the only one that (ab)uses that I might as well ask you first before I do it.
Just a thought.

Sorry, I'll cut down, do you have any ideas on my site though??? I'm interested because you run this really good site, so, have any?

Sure.
Devote a lot of time to it, be inventive, and most importantly, don't steal stuff from other sites.
It happened to me a few times and I still loathe the sites that did it.

P.S. Is it just my imagination or did you use three question marks again? :p

500 games eh? That seems a little hard to handle.

about 450 of the FAQs will be other people's. As for the 300 games those are just release dates. But do you have any ideas?!

For Christ's sake don't put loads of hyper advanced techno-nerdy D&D slang or whatever into it. It's gotta be quick on the load as well. Oh, and put in one of those cool search boxes like on Lycos. They Rule. (!!! ???)

Don't make it too graphics intensive. It gets annoying for people with crappy modems, (Myself included 33.6Kbps) when it takes hours to load pages, then I just go elsewhere. Having menu bars on the side that don't have to reload with every page help.

Yeah those non-reloading-menu-bars rule.

450 games is gonna take up a LOT of space

I do have 500 mb of space, hooligan_inc, for a price of course. A rather high one might I add.

I'll visit the site. If you spent money on it then you obviously put a lot of work in as well.
By the way, how much did 500mb of web space cost?

The Fat Egg
Thu, 31st Aug '00, 12:26am
First of all hooligan_inc thanks for saying you'll visit my site. It cost 150 dollars, rather expensive but worth it, I have the space for four years.

Put Vermillion's story on there (when finnished)! It TOTALLY rules. get it copyrighted and stuff first, though.

First yes, there will be a forum, it features all the ultima games, all AD&D games, a few upcoming titles, the diablo games, and the M&M games, as well as some other good titles, it should be cool. And as I mentioned before there as an area for all you cool guys who read this forum, special, it has some featured downloads and better boards, but its only open to the first 300 applicants. Also, I have auctions on my site, I have some classic games of which I have more than one copy of, some rare comics and comic book cards, of which I have many copies, and lots of memorabilia of which I have many copies, so that should be cool. The site is non-profit, the only thing I can make money on is the auctions, most items range from $1-$45 bucks, some especially rare ones cost more. Also, I've been doing some amateur writing, and its all available on there, for free, it would be cool if you guys would be willing to read it. Sure Vermillion you could write disclaimers if you wanted to, and hooligan_inc sure I'll post the story. Look, my site may be delayed, my local friends want to put on some stuff, I still havn't had time to add it yet, man, this is hard work

All my work get's copyrighted Hool, ye never know when something like that can come in handy. Although I doubt anyone would want to steal my stuff. I would sue them for a small 3rd world countries debt amount if they did though.
As well as personaly kick their ass into oblivion.
