What kind of stuff were we thinking about for our beautiful site. i can start compiling member biographys with pictures and a photogallery and stuff like that if need be. i think it would be cool to personalize us a bit. then we can get some of teh otehr teams to chat it up with us. ;D ;D ;D

I actually wanted to talk to you about this very thing....I was talking to dan, the other day about this kind of thing. We will prolly need to buy some sort of a server package. This would include bandwith, FTP space, a URL thats not a million letters long or .this.that.com It would also gives a place that is add free, and MUCH more customizable. We found a small package that should do the trick, and if I have every thing figured out its about $60 a year to run a small site like that. What I would like to do is get a navagation bar to go on the left hand side of the screen. One button for the forums, one for a Biography or some sort of who each member is type thing, and Team pics link, maybe a calander so we can plot events easier, www.sentinels.armorsquad.com/(a MN team, I talk to Thalion occasionally on MnRat and SpecOps) ^^ is kind of a what I had in mind, but customized to our liking, type thing. One thing I can see right now that could cause a problem is lack of Art work...I am no good at creating things like this, and I asked a few people I knew like Dan and some others to help out, what I got back is posted. So yea...thats what I had in mind, and Ill prolly call you later today Brian and talk to you about this a bit.

i think its sexy. then maybe we can run a few ads from people we want to. perhaps get some team money coming in if we get enough members and hits.

We could put adds from "sponsors" or we could just do the link to sponsors too

Perhaps, but as of right now, our site consists of the forums, we have noweb space atm to do any of this. So we would have to purchase space of some sort to get things rolling...Unless you know some one who owns web space and would like to sponsor us

I dont think that will work tbh, I think we need to have a host SITE that would provide us with what we need, and the possiblity of times of high traffic, which would glog up any basic cable line.
