And I have yet to design that system that handle the actual content (will work similarly to the forums)

NOTICE: the bananas are a parody of fleur-de-lys.

Cool. Can you stick with it?

If so, there was some talk of it being hosted on Apolyton as a sub site. Contact Ninot/MWIA and send an email to DanQ.

If not, a public provider would be good.

What we need is an admin who can stick around. Until we have that we prolly shouldn't bother Dan and Mark about it.

hmm I can supply a non-interrupted webspace september 3rd (well maybe 2nd)

Could supply passworded FTP so you could go in, even a public ftp part if wanted.

But again, not under september

AFAIK Siro plans to create a frontend for the site so executives will be able to log in to some page and update their reports through a web interface. A permanent admin that's on constant alert won't be necessary.

Sirotnikov · August 13, 2002, 18:16

Shiber an admin will be necessary since he is responsible for the passwords.

Obviously when the government changes, passwords change

Sirotnikov · August 13, 2002, 18:18

i just want to upload it to demonstrate...

anyone?

Shiber · August 13, 2002, 18:20

I meant that we won't need the kind of admin that'll be working on the site on a daily basis. Basically what you're describing is a person who has to change a few passwords every few weeks, which is quite an easy job that anyone can do.
Oh, I know! Pick me! I wanna be responsible of the passwords!

GodKing · August 13, 2002, 18:21

Set up 2 admins?

first would be the you - the creator. Or someone who will be around for a long time.

second would be the prez. After each election, the prez assigns new user codes, including the new prez. then the new prez deletes the old prez.

If there is any interuption, the first admin is still around to fix things.

Make sence? I don't do this kind of thing that often....

If you need less than 5MB then you can use your FTP storage space at Netvision (ftp.netvision.net.il, login with your dial-up login and password).

Sirotnikov · August 13, 2002, 18:35

Netvision gives no web access

notyoueither · August 13, 2002, 18:47

Siro. Go to spaceposts.com

Supposed to be easy to set up.

notyoueither · August 13, 2002, 18:50

Argggh! That's spacepoRts.com

Sirotnikov · August 13, 2002, 19:07

they have a bug LOL

no register.cgi

Epistax · August 13, 2002, 19:36

uhh I could give a sample of what I can do... on an unreliable 56k

notyoueither · August 13, 2002, 19:36

Siro, for web masters or site users?

Sirotnikov · August 13, 2002, 19:40

nye - they won't allow me to register.

neither does any site i tried in the last 2 hours

notyoueither · August 13, 2002, 19:44

Problem on your comp?

I'll try if you PM me your user name a pw selection.

Oop. I think I'd need your valid email addy as well.

jdjdjd · August 13, 2002, 20:05

try brinkster.com(general solution)...but if you are using php forget it, I have a web site there currently, plenty of room and no fee. You have to fill out some info, and then you get the site with no ads or anything like that.

angelfire and tripod.com are both decent , very reliable, if you have basic web pages with HTML & javascript. They have ads.

cfm-resources.com was one I found, great for coldfusion. I was using asp, it sucked for that and I switched to brinkster...their asp friendly. unsure if php is allowed on cfm.

otherwise, just plug in free web hosting in search engine and see what comes back

good luck

Sirotnikov · August 13, 2002, 20:14

fortune city is STUPID!!!!

they only allow lowercase addresses.

i chose an upper case site name C3DG.

therefore - when I try to see the site - it can't find a user called c3dg (it changes to lowercase) and gives me error 404!!!

Sirotnikov · August 13, 2002, 20:15

http://209.252.228.7/c3dg/

try this

notyoueither · August 13, 2002, 20:22

Lookin' very good.

Sirotnikov · August 13, 2002, 20:44

Ok, I'm uploading the president's office right now.

The left topmost link on the first page should be working

DanQ · August 13, 2002, 20:55

While the following statement will declassify what would otherwise be confidential information until an official press release publication, there appears to be some mass miscommunication on the plans for the "Civilization III Democracy Game" (C3DG) website from what I have been able to ascertain.

On Saturday, I emailed Sn00py -- the contact name I was given -- account information (FTP etc.) in affirmative response to the application for the "C3DG" website being hosted by Apolyton. The hosting application was filed by Ninot in late July.

To whom it may concern, please contact Sn00py and/or Ninot for more information. If the contact name(s) for the site are changing, especially in terms of those who would need remote (i.e. FTP) access to the site, please email me immediately.

Wonder if apolyton is prepared to host for everyone in the C3DG who wants a site. For instance each institute, party, whathaveyou.

notyoueither · August 13, 2002, 21:04

Wooh! great news. Anyone know where Sn00py has been? His last post was Aug 1.

The site that applied for hosting was the/an "official" site from what we understoodl. We were not aware that there was an interest for each party/institute etc. involved in the game is interested in seeking such hosting.

If anyone with detailed information can email Markos and I for clarification on a) who is involved in what and b) what is looking to be hosted and what capacity they serve in the game (including existing URL(s) of site(s)), we can work on taking it from there.

I see what you mean. I am not aware of the application that was sent. No reason to delay anything based off off my ramblings.

Ninot · August 13, 2002, 21:19

i guess i didnt advertise this enough... my fault

even tho Sn00py was supposed to have made the website, he went AWOL just before he was able to

ANYONE who wants to make the official website can and should

notyoueither · August 13, 2002, 21:22

Hi Dan. I'll email you and Mark as well if you wish.

Yes, that was the official site. I originally suggested then president Trip contact you after my thread in community. I suggested to Trip that he involve Gramphos and or Sn00py (?). I suggested Gramphos due to his already enjoying a position with the site.

The presidency passed to Ninot and he carried it forward. Unfortunately, Sn00py must be away for some reason or other, and then Siro's thread arrives.

AFAIK, the President is the only one who should be speaking for us as of this time. He is the the most obvious person of status and we have not polled this.

If anyone disagrees, they will certainly state so here.
