Why don't us few CFC SMAC lovers collaborate on a dedicated SMAC forum?

Centauri Preserve is perfect. I'm on another forum as a mod alot, here a bit too, but the prospect of a SMAC-based site would jump to pretty much #1 on the list.
 
I'd look into it and, depending on the costs, pony up the cash for a website.
 
Hey Guys! I'm back from a long time (maybe din't even entered allrighty) away from here. I would love that idea. There's some way that I can be useful?

Well were going to need:
Forum Designers: people who can craft a site that will work, sensible layout, and whatever appropriate decoration can be tacked on.

Website Designers: Same as the former, but more dificult.

Contributers:The site will probably have some downloads/stategy articles and those things dont write themselves

Moderators: Probably not important at first but eventualy were going to get some spammer/troll/uncontrolled swearer.

Active Posters: The heart and soul of the Centauri project, the people who will keep the place from going the way of the alpha centauri sections of Civgaming and even our own Civfanatics

Those are just general categories, I've probably forgotten half a dozen needed groups

Pasi Nurminen: How's the cost in relation to your pockets?

I can get on these two categories: Well, I've never been a mod, mind you, but I must try so I can know if I'm good for it or not.
And in active posting, I'm good at! I love this game, but I feel it's too sided on CFC, mind you. But if I can do anything to help, I'm in!
 
I came to this forum only to solve a bug with a fresh installation of Alpha Centauri. But I am a long time SMAC fan! I've been playing that game for years on and on. (I've also bought it multiple times because I lost the disks so much :P). I play it for several months, get bored, un install.. lose the disk, then several weeks/months later I feel like playing it. Notice I lost the disk and buy it again and play it :P

If a dedicated SMAC forum would arise, I'd most certainly join. And if there's anything I can contribute, I would also love to do that. I have some Flash skills and some noobish photoshop[ish] skills.

I am not the best player there is, so don't look at me for writing FAQ's and the like. However, I am a "reasonable" fan-fiction writer and the biggest reason I like Alpha Centauri so much is because of it's background story and it's characters.

Anyway, Count me in :D

[Edit] I took a deeper reading of the previous posts. I have experience in running a forum. I also have experience in designing websites. Even so, I previously constructed and run my school's website. I have constructed and run the website for a company. Most websites I make are Flash only though. With little or no actual coding. And that's not really appropriate for the kind of website you want here. But I can still be of help though. So if you need more help on constructing the forum/website. I would be eager to help.
 
I've successfully installed phpbb, installed some mods and edited templates in the past. I could also provide a webserver running Apache, PHP and MySQL and any other software me might require. It wouldn't be very fast to access, but it'd be free.

I have no idea what that means but if it translates to "I can make a website" then Great! If so, I'll start on that forum

The forum i'm a mod on? I have a 30+ post per day rate, I have 14000 posts. I know the way around various styles of moderation panels, and I can smell spam from the thread title.

Needless to say, I need help improving my smac skills and posting in a strategies forum would be the way to go.

Ooh. we need the categories of the forums.
Lessee...
A forum to set up multiplayer?
strategies
a general discussion forum, of course
tech support
umm...

And... some other things. But I wouldnt know what :P
 
I say release the link; the website can come along as we refine ideas in the fora there regarding what exactly needs to be on there.
 
Release it so there's time for the search engines to start picking it up. I've seen the deaths of many a site just because of a search engine being stupid.

Anyway I've been getting ideas from my forums' general discussion forum (clickie for example). Anyone else have any ideas?
 
Awesome. Regged as Ultima Dragoon (Oh I'm original, aren't I? :p) and Zakharov is my avatar. :dance:
 
Regged as Keroro, as much imagination as the next (or last) guy. :)

BTW Ultima Dragoon, is your name a reference to the Panzer Dragoon games, or just to Ultima?
