I've spoken with my friend, Stormwreath, and he's offered to let us host his DVD commentaries he's transcribed, also. I'm going to be reaching out to others to see about collecting Meta for the Whedonverse, too. And Phil, I've also gotten in touch with someone who might be able to help with web-building, Ruuger. Though they say it's been a while since they've done it. How much bandwidth will the site have? I'm just wondering how far we can go here and I'm sadly lacking in web design know-how.\ ******* - slayalive.com/forum
- /fanfic (the eFiction Xaphania was talking about) what about links to fic archives still out there, too?
- /fanart (dragonweaver, it sounds like you have some experience here)
- /gallery (e.g. Comics Covers and Art, Promo Pics)
- /transcripts - (episode scripts, shooting scripts, DVD commentary)
- /interviews - Interviews and Q&A's
- /academic papers (slayageonline.com)
- /collectibles
- /blog - e.g. Comics Reviews (Patxshand's already agreed to contribute, Xi, too) Dollhouse Ep Reviews, perhaps
- /customfigures (This would be more Jess's domain, yes?)
- /screencaps
- /collections
- /downloads (like wallpapers, icons, avatars, and banners)
- /video (PJ, this was an area you were enthusiastic about)
It seems right now like we're waiting to get the infrastructure of the site ready, though.

Emmie, we have unlimited disk space and unlimited data transfer. Unlimited bandwidth!

Woot! That's awesome. I think, considering my lack of computer savvy, I'll do what I do best. Help organize and spread the word. I've already started reaching out on LJ here and have friends who have been in the fandom for a really long time, so they might have some knowledge of cool older fandom stuff. In some areas, I very much understand what we're going for. Screencaps is self-explanatory. Where as with Fanfiction, are we housing just the fanfiction here at SlayAlive and then branching out. What is the scope of that arena? Because there's A LOT of fanfiction out there. Similarly there's A LOT of Promo pics out there and behind-the-scenes stuff already housed on other sites. What's our focus? Just trying to get an idea of the scope of this venture.

I'm not sure how we will handle fan art, gallery, and downloads. To me they are all images, and I don't know if they should all just be in a coppermine photo gallery together, but separated into different sections.
Or if some should be uploaded onto pages, such as they did on chosentwo.com with their banners, icons, etc.

i'm betting sections would be handier.
hey, CBG, what do you think of having an Episode Guide up on the new site?

Wouldn't the Buffy Episode Guide be covered in the transcripts we'd be sourcing from BuffyWorld.com?
Yeah, the gallery/fanart/downloads seem to be the same thing pretty much.
Screencaps obviously separate from that in the images department.

On the phone with Yahoo now, there's something wrong with the slayalive domain...hopefully I get it resolved asap. The domain says it's still in a pending state, which should last no more than 72 hours...but it's been that way since June 3rd!
I cannot add sub-domains or start anything till it's fixed. Eek!
EDIT: Wow, fixed! They're good! LOL....OMG...this means...
We can start! Infrastructure coming!

The link to - I presume this thread - in the tweet you just posted doesn't go anywhere, you just get a 403 Forbidden page.

It doesn't matter, the URL is going to change today as it is. EMMIE AND MODS! We're going to have to change ALL URLS within the forum to: http:// forum.slayalive.com/blah blah blah.
