Ok, sence geocities is virtually gone now, we are without a site for ourselves.... and with me stuck over in Germany for awhile, with the expectation of going to Gates next year. I think this would be a good time for me to step up and look into getting a new home for us; atleased on the net. I spend enough time here as it is. So I plan on getting with Krystal, and Mallos, Crimson, and virtually anyone else around who is computer savy to assist me in building a new site. I'll keep you guys informed as more things get set up, and hopfully by Gates we have a tangible site.

Ok, some of the domain names I've been looking at are; nghtswatch.net and nightswatchonline.net. I'm trying to keep it a '.net' type of name, fortunatly this would only cost about 9 bucks a year. I'm gunna set up a poll of domain names, see which one people tend to lean towards most and go with that.

We actually have a site right now. Nyt was kind enough to provide us some space on the DUS domain (www.nightswatch.unconsun.org). All you get is an index page as I am still working on the script for the site. I was able to back up most, if not all, of the information from the Geocities page before it went down.
If we are wanting to change the domain I am all for that, but I just wanted it to be known that we have something going as we speak.

Oh, ok... thats good to know. cause i went around looking and noticed that all the links i could find all lead to our old geocities site, which.... doesn't exist anymore. So...
i also think it would be nice for us to have something of our own... sort of speak... which is also why I had set out to attribute to this.

oath to black... theres a name i wouldn't have thought of... where was this three months ago... anyway, mallos, let me know when things start to calm down a little for you, and perhaps we can collaborate on this and maybe have something better to look at than advertisements... *sweatdrop*

I'm working with Drunken Bob for domain space, but he has yet to get back to me on it. Hopefully I should have a full site, with Java scripting and some Visual Basic, up by the end of May. I really would like to get some HQ video of the unit for the site as well. I want to set up an index page with a good intro video of us before being able to get to the main site.

That actually sounds really nice, and prehaps depending on space and bandwith, we could also add in some interviews with some of the more seasoned vets. of the Watch so that visitos can get a better idea of who we are, as opposed to just impressions from hearing people talk about them. with basic questions like, who they are, how they came across dagorhir, and nights watch, things like that, not nessicarly in-character either, just like a basic Q&A to promote dagorhir and Nights Watch as a whole, that was something i was thinking about starting at Gates, although due to the current Poland mission i'm on, I can't be at gates, and this has me very un-happy. but this is something else to think about and concider amoung everybody

As an update, we have the domain being transfered over to Drunken Bob's servers within the week. To my understanding we have unlimited space and bandwidth. If not, your suggestion shouldn't take up to much space either. Were you wanting to do video interviews or text-based? If we do the video interviews then I will need to find a way to encode it into the script for the individual rooms. Instead of Visual Basic, I may use Python instead because its easer to use on my Linux machine. Again, hopefully it will be up asap. I also need to get a HD video recorder, but I think I can talk to Demos or Oni about that. They may be able to help me regarding that.

Sounds super sexy and you have my approval I think video interviews would be amazing.

I was thinking video, cause up until I discovered that I could not make gates, I was planning on bringing my camera, Sony: Cyber-shot, the same camera that i used for my rag videos on youtube, and ofcourse doing a little editing in windows movie maker so that the character name and real name scroll at the bottom of the screen for the first few seconds like you see in news reports and such.
