PurpleYouko:
Right then!

Who wants to build us a new Official DarwinBots website?

Interested Shvarz?

here is the reply to my recent email to Carlo on the subject.

--- Quote ---Hi PY,

yes, I noticed you created another forum for Darwinbots. Probably I should close
the old one and update the link on the darwinbots site, and  I'll do it as soon
as I have some time.
Unfortunately, I can't give you the access to the site, because it is hosted by
a crappy italian provider which requires you, in order to modify the pages, to
access the internet through their dialup connection (obviously, an italian phone
number). This is also why it is so annoying for me to make any changes to it.
The best thing you could do is to create your own darwinbots site - this time
with a section for code uploads, and so on; it may become the main db site (I
can put a redirect from the old address).
I haven't kept track of all the features you added to the original program (by
the way, it seems that the new forum lacks a section about the development

status of the program, discussion over new features, etc). So, what are you
working on right now? I read on the forum that you're working on 3.0. Which new
features will it bring? I'm really curious.

That's all. Keep up the good work, and let me know what do you want to do for
the site (if you want to create your own, and make it the main darwinbots site).

Bye,
Carlo

So we have the official go-ahead to bring DB into the 21st (and a half) century

Ah damn.  Making a new website means a certain amount of trouble.  The more links a person has to click through to find something, the more likely they are to give up.

Should we get a real address?  Like darwinbots.com?  I'd be willing to put in a few dollars. (Like $5 - $10.  Same I'd spend on a movie, and that only lasts about 2 hours).

If we're going to set up a new website anyway, we might as well do it right.  And having an actual address means we have a large degree of freedom.

shvarz:
Never thought I'd say this, but I am willing to pitch in 5-10 bucks myself.  And maybe next year too :)  I am not too familiar with web-hosting options, but I may ask around...
Having www.darwinbots.com would be nice!

As far as making the new site: I can handle basic and intermediate level html, although I have not practiced for quite some time.  Here is a link to my personal page for you to check out: http://postw.kulichki.net  It is in Russian, but you'll get the idea.  For those familiar with web-building - that was my first experiment with CSS.  The navigation script (pop-out on the left) I just took from some free-script-distributing sites and adapted to my needs.

Numsgil:
My sister could probably help too.  She's only in Highschool, but she's probably as close to a grandmaster HTML designer as I know.

Her site is imodd.net.

As far as I'm concerned, netscape composer is the end all web designer :lol:

Botsareus:
I dont know how to mail money too well ,sry.

But:

If we can set up a server someware we are not only hosting the website , we will be able to host the robot ftp sharing as well.
