New portables site (NOT a doomportables replacement)

Post by G-force »

I say that because it should be more of an add-on to it. DP can have the info, but this will be a place to show off peoples completed portables with (some) ease.

So first, it needs a cool name. macgyverportables is a bit silly (unless you guys like it, then it could stay.). How about a new .tk name, like my old customconsoles name? Any cool ideas?

If I can get some people to help me, I would like to make pages for each portable that a member completes. There would be a list of names with each members portables listed underneath their name. Their name can only be there when they have a good portable to put up. This would be a great way to get all the portables and information up. See, this way it's not just the admins job to supply information, the sender can include it in his page.
If the member wishes to do so, he can even make a how-to.

Of course some people don't know HTML so their text for the page would have to be formatted and pics would have to be resized and renamed. That's where the help comes in ;) We could have a how-to on sending in the page, or we could just offer to put the pics and that's all.

I know triton was wanting to do something like this a while ago, so maybe we could merge ideas.

What would you like to see in a new portables site? Ideas are completely welcome! I need input on this. If I get help it should be a really easy system to use. This would have to be a group project to succeed. I don't want to use the "I" letter anymore when reffering to the site, it should be "we".

Perhaps sam fisher could host it, I heard he had unlimited bandwidth. If we can get this going I will check on that.

That's a great name. I like it.

Just a few things I forgot:
We need an awesome banner/logo/symbol pic to go with the site. Any volunteers with mad photoshopping skillz?
And here is a crappy test layout. Waddaya think?

Ok I'm hittin the hay now, the Dew/Coffee caffeine is wearing off. Getting sleepy...

i offer any thing i can do to help the development of said things... a new showcase would be sweet. so many people have limited hosting or non at all its time we solved this by creating a singular site. any one who wants to upload an image to my site for now please email me. if you want to request some one to be on the site, please ask them.. (please get the guy who did the DCp, and that cool vacumed PSp)

EDit: i dont mean to take the project a way just to help the hosting loads. also you can add any one mine portables to the roster...
