spore fansite idea

[Ennui]

I'm just curious, if I were to make a Spore fansite / discussion board (similar to SupremeCommand.org, Halflife2.net, Sinepisodes.net, or UE3.org), would any of you come? I'm thinking of sporeonline.net or sporeonline.org...

 

[Sloth]

/me puts up hand

When i get the game and before yes!

 

[theGreenBunny]

Sure. Keep in mind that there are already some Spore fansites, a number of which are Sims/Maxis fansites crossing over or creating sister sites. I'll definitely join/help, if you go ahead with it despite the competition.

 

[G-Dub]

Ennui... DEFINATELY

We need some Spore hype

 

[bliink]

I would... but there isn't much info out to base a site on yet is there?

 

[Burn]

I..might, allready use this, supcom and wow forums.. I dont like using to many.

 

[Sloth]

The site only has a few screenshots

Like that one...
But there's not enough hype to start a forum yet, Bliink is right

 

[Ennui]

I know, I'd probably register the domain now and then sit on it till the end of the year or so, then spend a month or two getting the site set up and launch in January or something

 

[Kangy]

Sure, I'd help you out with news, content or whatever. It sounds like a good idea, certainly. I was almost considering one for Civ 4, but I decided against it.

 

[VictimOfScience]

I'll be there. This game should be a real watershed title in PC gaming and I cannot wait, but Bliink is right that there just isn't that much info yet. So I guess we'll just wait while you get the domain set and such. Thank goodness there is SO MUCH coming out between now and then to keep us blissfully distracted.

 

[Maxi]

Yeah I'd be in it. I could moderate the forum or something.

 

[Ennui]

Yeah I'd be in it. I could moderate the forum or something.

You're incredibly subtle.

as long as this thread is a bit active, what forum client do you think I should use? I'd vastly prefer vBulletin, but I don't have the money to shell out $160 for it :O so I'm thinking phpBB most likely.

 

[MiccyNarc]

I'll be there

 

[WhiteZero]

Count me iiiiiiinnnn.

 

[Shakermaker]

I'm there. I've been looking forward to this game since the GDC.

 

[G-Dub]

Yeah it would be great to get some forums and a site started for all us HL2.netters to enjoy the Spore hype

I prefer punbb, the some one as the other site uses

 

[Lucid]

Hey anyone have a link to the GDC video?
I'd love to watch it again, Get myself rehyped for the game.

 

[Noobulon]

Ohoho, what's this I find still lurking in my Bookmarks?

I've already watched this video roughly three times. God I need to get this game, before I have to watch it again....

 

[Ennui]

Okay, SporeOnline is a taken site name (its some crappy site in a foreign language, but it has the name sporeonline nevertheless ) so we have to choose a new one.

Ideas, anyone, on what our site name should be? Keep in mind the domain name has to be unregistered.

sporegonewild.something
sporesite.something
sporerocksmysocks.something
sporesource.something
sporesporespore.something
stickasporeinmeimdone.something
Take the bold ones seriously.

 

[Ennui]

sporesource... not bad, but the initials are SS. Like Nazis. Still...

 

[ray_MAN]

whatisspore.something

 

[Kangy]

sporecloud.net

Yeah, it's not taken and it's a pun. A bad pun, but a pun none the less.

 

[Ennui]

it's not bad either.

 

[Noobulon]

sporeuniverse.net

Appropriate

 

[Xune]

This is the only game I am looking forward to so a site run by the people from this community would be great. I'd certainly visit.

As for names, sporeuniverse is a good one.

Edit: Indeed, it's so good it appears to have already been taken.

 

[Kamikazie]

if you make me an admin maybe...jk, hell yea i'd join you!!
