Working On A Social Networking Web Site For Gamers
I thought I'd elaborate a little more on my plans for the Social Networking Web Site for Gamers that I've been working on.
At first I'm going to focus on FPS Clans and MMORPG Guilds. A Clan/Guild leader will be able to sign up for their own "Den" (my terminology for web space). The Clan/Guild Leader will be able to choose a pre-built theme or create their own custom theme. They will be able to install plug-ins that will be individual to their own "Den", and they will have control over where menus/blocks are displayed.
It's going to be like a very, very configurable myspace site. There will be roster and application plug-ins, a challenge us plug-in, their own separate forums.
The main site will also have it's own forums, and I'd like to have planned events, like leagues/tournaments for FPS Clans, and maybe schedules Raids for the MMORPG Guilds.
There will be a buddy system, and other social interaction features.
I'd like to offer a downloads section, but I'm not sure how I plan on working that into the scheme of things, as that will be a huge drain on bandwidth. My thought's on that would be to charge an individual fee, or maybe a flat fee for Clans/Guilds that have accounts. We'll see how that works out in the future. There is plenty to work on before I hit that hurdle.
Stop by the forums and let me know what you'd like to see in the way of features and services.
