XP_Mainiac Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Well just like many people,I got fed up with free hosts and hot-linking issues as well as free image hosts with minimal bandwidth. How much does it suck to ask someone to host a sig for you?Maybe not that bad but still kinda stinks asking around "can anyone host a sig for me?" Well I want to change all this and soon. I pay for the hosting and what I get in return is that satisfaction of knowing that you wont get a X What this post is for is I am looking for a few co-webmasters. I don't have much time on my hands working at a casino but want this to be. I am looking for people that would like to help in the creation of the site. Knowledge of scripts,php,mysql and such as I don't know all that much of it.Some,but little. If anyone would like to help get this free service going,please PM me,contact me on AIM,YAHOO,MSN,ICQ I can fill you in on all the details.

0 sukamusiru Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 bravo, valiant effort, i look forward to seeing this in action :happy: i'm afraid i wouldn't be all that much help, myself, though.. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 nacs Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 You mean something like what timdorr does (Neosig)? I can help out with the site for sure (I know XHTML, PHP, mySQL well) but before you even consider starting this, remember that bandwidth charges can be quite expensive for something like this.

0 XP_Mainiac Posted April 20, 2003 Author Share Posted April 20, 2003 The whole purpose of this is for people to upload thier sigs (maybe even avatars) and not have to worry about that ugly red x when the host they have says no hotlinking or runs out of bandwidth. I will also be adding a winamp 'now playing' feature soon after. As for bandwidth,I have no worries.I have a acquired a VERY special deal with a host and he knows exactly what I am doing. Like I said,I pay for the host because I am sick of the whole free hosting deal going sour because people dont realize what they are setting up till it's too late,then bail out on people. I have thought this out for awhile now and have looked at MANY MANY hosts before choosing. If bandwidth becomes an issue,the linking will continue so nobody gets that dreaded red X,I will just supply more money. Again,I got a very good deal and the money is not as much as one might think. So if you or anyone is interested,please PM,IM,or email me for details. I am looking for about 3 people,maybe more as I dont have alot of internet time. I will do some of the design as that is the part I enjoy and know how to do. It is all the scripting that I know little of and is what I need from the co-webmasters. Thank you for your interest :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 FlashMan Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 I would be glad to help but I don't have any server space to lend you sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 nacs Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 XP doesn't really need any server space or bandwidth or such right now really. (I've been talking to him on MSN). He is basically looking for people who can design the website and code the backend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Hypercube Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 The backend for the winamp will be demanding though I am sure a cache could be written [never seen it done with images], try minimal; it still takes about .5 k per view. About the sigs, try and see if you can use timdorr's script. You can contact me if you want a different type of now playing script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 XP_Mainiac Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 Right,I dont need the space or bandwidth. I am just looking for a few people that are interested in helping with some code and help looking after it. I can do the site design,thats no biggie,it's the scripting that Im not to familiar with. I still would like to get atleast one more person. So if interested,please contact me. Hypercube Contact me about the now playing sig deal when you have the time.
