Hey cool, I ripped it the source right off MMO's Finest and it works fine... although it'd be a little hard to edit the links everywhere. XD Since it's done with XAMPP, it's linked through hamachi... hm. Anywho, I still think that we need to register a .com domain name to promote it really, OR, if someone has the time to leave their computer on 24/7, there'd be totally no point to buy a domain. ' XAMPP Ftw... just might be a bit harder to promote MMOT though. So yeah, perhaps domain would be better. Can I reskin the place and make it funky but nice? D:< I really wanna. Its all bland and dull. The Captain seemed to like that. But his music is dull so you end up making the connection Also, the MMOtales forums need to be funked up with nifty gadgetry like it is on here. EDIT: If anything, keep the blog aggregating programming and the RSS feeds. Otherwise, the entire site needs an overhaul if you want to attract users.

Agreed, however, that's much easier said than done. Do you have experience with CSS/HTML? That'll be the main way styling is done (heck, CSS is short for Cascading STYLE Sheet). Or, anyone have graphic design skillz?

That'll help you get some direction I suppose.

Not scripts.
GRAPHICS.

Yeah, but it's hard to design what a site will look like when you don't know the layout or what will need to be included.

That'll help you get some direction I suppose. Fret not. I can help with that as well. I've got a plethora of ideas. We just have to make sure that we don't copypasta Captain's code. We use the parts that work and the parts that don't work we leave them aside. We also have to keep the coding open and not all clean cut so that if we want to add nifty features later on, we can without messing anything important up. The best feature of MMOTales was of course, the "Blog Like" system. It kept things competitive and of course, that led to more quality writing. We can always up the ante that bit and put in some rankings based on what the writers write and how much its liked. For example, top ten original stories; top ten fanfics; top ten MMO journals (what happened on MS or Rappelz or something); top ten rants, and whatever. I'd say its pretty simple to do that. However, it felt like Captain was working for the FCC and the entire site was rated G. There should definitely be an option to turn off swear filters and make things more PG-13, because srsly; kids below that age have to ask parents before joining sites anyway.

I wonder how he did the PhP without a SQL database, seems as if the functions can be matched. If so, it'd make life a lot easier. o____o
