A Tribute to a Staff that Doesn't Suck

[Raistlin]

Yes, Hiroshi. That's what I meant.

*has no clue why he put Heero*

*edit*

Bleys, that's actually a pretty good idea. We could set it like right after the Cataclysm after the Sydney wars.

[Citizen Bleys]

Stupidity?

And speaking of stupidity, mayhap the talk of reviving tGA deserves its own thread? We seem to have hijacked this one.

[Raistlin]

Hijacking is fun.

Anyways, Bleys, I editted my last post with what I had to say about your suggestion. *too lazy to type it again*

[Citizen Bleys]

Time-jumping would be kind of confusing. Wouldn't it be better to set it after the Manster Rebellion? That way we could keep a smooth timeline for Third-Era tGA--first the Ofuchi Usurpation, then the Manster Rebellion, then the Second Losstarot War, and then, if there's still interest, we could RP Bandit Barons of Grandbell. Or else do Bandit Barons first and follow up with the Second Losstarot War. And either way, we could place the wizard who morphed BoB into it on the side of the villains. (He'd be working with the Alenians, if Bandit Barons--Khasra doesn't have the balls to work with evil wizards)

There are a lot of ways it could be done, really. Maybe we could find out who'd be participating and put it to them: Would they rather RP in a World War scenario, or a Civil War? (Personally, I'd prefer to do the Losstarot War initially--we just RP'd two civil wars already, one in Grandbell and then one in Manster. Although Bandit Barons is really a continuation of the Ofuchi Ussurpation, a global conflict would make it more plausible--tensions would have time to mount in Grandbell, to the point where the Provisional Government loses its control over the periphery of Grandbell...we could even have Scundia declare independence during the Second Losstarot war....*realizes he's rambling*

I'm assuming, though, that we *are* going to revive tGA, then? Am I clear to start recruiting?

[Raistlin]

Sure. Daven's working to finish the website. Once that's done, I think we're going with Invision for an MB. So, I'll download that and...

Wait a sec. Do need a suggestion:
What webhost should we use for the website and board? We could just use Daven's, I guess, since his board's already there, but I think he mainly uses it for webspace to upload crap(like I do).
Preferably free, mind you. :P

EDIT: I also, would rather do a world war plot. The Sydney/Yurius War was fun. *nods*

[Citizen Bleys]

If Daven's got a host, then it's all settled. URL, plz.

Keep in mind, pretty much any forum worth wiping your bum on requires PHP to be enabled server-side and a mySQL database. Total number of free hosts providing php/mySQL with no pop-up ads: 0.

Yes, hosting is the hardest question.

[Raistlin]

Daven's host? Lycos. http://members.lycos.co.uk/daventhalas

Not much help there.

*has no clue about setting up a forum*

[Big Ogre Umaro]

http://coolfreepages.com/ was what I used before I stopped being cheap and paid for hosting. Well, actually the costs were split but that hardly matters. That doesn't even figure into the story. wtf shut up.

CFP has one pop-up ad that isn't annoying if you set it to another web page once it's popped up. Although I wouldn't be surprised if they canceled new sign-ups. Didn't check. But yeah, pay-hosting is such a breath of fresh air.

[Raistlin]

Hehe, I'll look into it, Umy.

EDIT: I said preferably free. Didn't make it a requirement. If you have a really cool not-so-expensive pay-host, I'd be willing to have a look.

[Citizen Bleys]

This is the best deal I could find:

[Shiroi Kumo]

Is this a dig at the staff of FG? :O_O:

[Big Ogre Umaro]

Bleys, that's an insanely awesome deal if the hosts aren't a buncha jerkfaces, which hosts tend to be, and with good reason!

Shiroi, stop talking gibberish.

[Raistlin]

Umy is his usual cheerful self as always.

That does sound like a really good deal. Especially if me and Daven split the costs.

Hahaha, I got like eight million emails from him for some reason. I remember that. I think Proto sent me the thread too. Maybe I should attach it later for trouts and giggles.

No, it's a dig at the staff of FF:WA. Read the whole thread, there, Cloudy-boy. Get yer head out of the clouds. If you catch my drift.

[Chaos Weapon]

It's turned into hell at FFWA, as a matter of factly, and Aaron, do you have like...two accounts or did I miss a name-changing thread?
