Re: Ideas for a website? anyone?
db,
I have to say, the trip report idea is pretty great....and I have a friend who would be able to start it up with some great ones... For instance, he's currently flirting with a 20 year old who was disowned by her family at 16 for some accident that made the news....

Re: Ideas for a website? anyone?
I've always wondered why there isn't an imdb for pop music. But maybe there is?
Also, how 'bout a database of OOT music threads? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] EDIT: Another idea: Something like meta-critic, except for message boards. All english speaking forums around the world nominate their favorite OT threads of the day and y'all index them. Reading that hornfan thread made me realize there are some funny dudes out there beyond OOT...

how about a site that has a big doormat on the front page? it could be a jump to conclusions mat. there would be different conclusions and you would jump to them. [/ QUOTE ] Or a site where you can make your own pizza pie!

That is the worst idea I've ever heard in my life, Tom.

Re: Ideas for a website? anyone?
real suggestions:
art database. catalog every famous piece of art in the world by artist, location (museum/private collection), estimated value, etc. actually this sounds pretty boring and would rely heavily on user submissions. sports card (maybe pokemon and magic the gathering crap too) database. lookup how much your [censored] is worth. online trading / sales / auctions. chat. forums. stats. pretty graphs. descriptions of famous collections (jacked from wikipedia of course). maybe even make up some game(s) (tweaked fantasy leagues) based off of all the stats accumulated. you could probably sell ad space to sports book websites. please give me money if you profit from this idea.

Re: Ideas for a website? anyone?
I like the Trip Report Idea , but you could format it so that certain things have to be included
kinda like an undergound destinations guide of hip places in each destination...along with random trip reports like I went to taco bell today etc. Say someones going to Vegas, it could have everything to do along with user comments Im just rambling by the way

I like this trip report idea. Sorta 'Other Rough Guide...' to any place, anywhere... I'm going to see another developer in my employ in a bit, I'll see what he thinks... I'll post back a TR on it [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] EDIT: Just to be clear, it is not my intention to poach OOT traffic and won't do anything that may be taken as this, okay? [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] No, we decided against it [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] We thought it'd be too hard to get the initial interest going, and various other issues I can't remember. We're sorta thinking a cross between a bulletin-board and a autofeed from news sites/music sites/entertainment sites/dvd sites, so each area is a bulletin board with new subjects autofeeding in for discussion (you could start your own ones too!). Sorta cross between a news site and a discussion site... Any opinions on that? I really can't tell... I can see it maybe being awesome, but also being a complete waste of time when no-one shows up... Still thinking about it though, and we're not convinced by this one, so keep em coming, if you've got any [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I don't think your current idea has a niche unless i'm missing something, what do you think? It's like that tucker max site, it's pretty entertaining, cause he has good stories. Now, not everyone has that many good stories (true or not remains for debate) but with the combine efforts of many people, I think a site just reading about people's funny stories could be okay. That was my original idea with teh trip report style site. Unforuatenly, with any site, it's going to be hard to have initial intersest, thats what 90% of making a good site is about, consistency untill you get a proven audience.
