    ...about designing and coding a website by the forum members devoted to graphics, designing, sigs and renders?

    It would give a chance for people to get talents recognised by visitors, and hell, we could even sell some of the stuff. Some while back there was talk of a site like this selling work between Egaladeist and a few others. This plan didn't get too far, but who knows :chk:

    Many people would/could be involved - designers, coders, admins, web masters etc, which would be kind of community activity thing for the forums.

    What do you guys think?

    Well if the idea is in favor, then may as well make a start!

    I'm happy to set up the server and account etc, and I can also pay for bandwidth as only $2 a gigabyte which is no major problem. But that's jumping the gun a little.

    A name will be needed for the site - I will be using dot.tk as the 'provider', and a freewebtown account, so the site will be www.whatever.tk with all the hosting done @ freeweb.

    Also we'll need a list of the content that will be on the site, such as a forum, guestbook, sig creation form, tutorial page and submission form etc.

    Any ideas?

    I'm in! I don't know wether we'd sell anything but we could keep an archive of content,
    After a main page we could have a forum link to this, or even have a separate forum.

    It’s a good idea I think.

    Do you mean having a different site and forums or just use the HWF graphics forum. If you want to start a new site with its own forums etc it will take time to grow as there’s plenty of sites out there.

    If you want and can wait till the summer when I will have more time, I could help with the host/domain and forums etc

    PM me some domain ideas.

    I wouldn't want to draw traffic away from the site, so perhaps we create a thread in graphics design leading to the site, but on all the pages have a "Back To The Forums" link or something.

    Also, the Forum could be this site, with a link to graphics design as the default forum maybe? That would encourage traffic for both sites.

    Agreed, it will take a long time for the site to get busy if it even gets a couple of visitors, but development and content could be designed now.

    Still need a name :confused:

    I've had a go at making the navigation for the site, this would sit directly below the main title graphic which would be abstract and tech, I think would look good.

    If you want the *psd give me a shout and I'll upload it some place.

    Then have ago changing text, colour etc etc.
