David, I didn't mean to sound harsh or anything, I was just curious.
I actually still use DBP fairly often - It's a brilliant prototyping tool
And although I do do DS programming more often now (C++), my site has a majority of information that pertains to TGC products (only 3 of the 13 projects aren't related to TGC).
But, that's just me - I posted this thread so we could discuss these exact issues
Gaming,
That's a perfect example of where my suggested rule breaks-down.
Maybe more of a guideline stating something like "Any websites with duplicate content may be rejected"
Also, while I've got you here, could you add the following to the dbwebring.co.nr site, please?
[b]Link to the webring[/b]
If you'd like to be part of the webring, even if your site is not listed here, then you can link back to us from your site.
To do this, first download our image tag from:
http://jt0.org/images/tgc_webring.png
upload it to your server, then simply add the following code to your website:
<a href='http://www.dbwebring.co.nr' title='TGC Web-ring'>
<img src='http://www.yoursite.com/path/to/tgc_webring.png' alt='TGC Web-ring' />
</a>
Josh,
with regards to point 5, I meant more along the lines of a breif run-down of content (pretty much what you generally find in the first paragraph of any "About" page kind of thing). But, reviews and ratings as you suggested may be plausible, but then again, may add another layer to the site that is unnecessary.
Point 6 is interesting.
Personally, I don't mind if any adult content is added and/or linked to (with or without a warning on click, but most certainly at least a visible text warning), but I don't know how everyone else feels about it.
[EDIT]
Didn't see your post, Nick...
With regards to the adult content - Extreme violence, sex in games, and possibly even a high ESRB rating could all be classed as adult content.
Both Drupal and Josh's system sound easy to use, but I have to agree with Nick's points on how easy Drupal would be to hand over to someone else without any prior knowledge than Josh's system would be.
Also, while we're deciding upon the back-end, how do people feel about graphical style?
Would you prefer something more Web2.0ish, or a classic layout?
Neutral colours, or those that can tie back in with tgc.com (if we go that way and stick with tgc-only products, of course).
Personally, I think something web2.0 would really help to make our webring stand up against any others that are simply a page of links.
But then, that does add an extra layer to the usability to simply navigate a set of links (which I think is acceptable if the interface helps to improve the viewing pleasure).
