That's kindof what I was thinking about. I also don't have a lot of cash but think it'd be great if we all could chip in what we could and make this what we can. I just made a post on my comp teachers website (pumpkinheadweb.com if anyone wants to see his work) asking him to either help us or what he'd charge to do it. I don't know what's up with Billy, knowing him he's working on something. Or we could do like I said and link this site to a homepage, cuz I do think FD did a nice job here... but, I'm not the computer geek, Pattie, you are, lol. Right now we should think of a name. Something easy but catchy, that's the one thing "that place" had going for it. I think (stealing our bitch boards name) the Inferano (sp?) would be a good name. Suggestions?
inferno would be cool. it would be cool to get away from a goth association and more towards a dark alternative association. we all seem to come from various walks of life and would have most likely picked on each other in highschool, but oddly we've meshed. i was thinking of trying to find a name along those lines. if you can follow my ramblings.

Yeah, I follow you. And, it's funny I've never much thought about it but your right, we all are very different. Ummm... Motley Crew? Eccentric Realm? Anarchistic Lair?
Oh, and my teacher said he'd do it, I'm just waitting on a price. Well, that and for you guys to tell me what you think...
it cannot have anything with 'Lair' in the title. That is my only request... well, that and/or 'Demonic'.

I like that. Actually, I like it a lot. My only concern is that I'll never be able to correctly able to spell deviant. LOL
Okay, this is more to >FD< right now, cuz I already talked to Patryn this morning. I talked to my comp teacher and he agreed to make a site for us, something like his site at pumpkinheadweb.com. It would cost some money, but I would be okay with putting it up provieded that we are all going to make it worth it. Pattie cakes might have a way to lessen the cost, but as of today that's still a little up in the air. I figure that since I don't know as much as you guys do about how to run a forum that I could conpensate with some funding. However, I'm kinda poor so I really don't want to waste money if we are all not 100% into doing this. Ideally, I'd like for us to make a really nice site that's semi-big, not too big, though. We're all one little online family now so I'd like for all of us to be equally involved and equal "owners". If we all decide to go this route than all we'd have to do is approve a name and have someone make us a graphic or two for our logo/design type of thing. I'd really like to get this going as soon as possible so that it could be up and running within the next two weeks. I first want >FD<'s take on this, and then if she gives the nod I want to do a poll of somesorts on General to decide the details such as domain name and design. I don't want to push anybody, though, this is a group thing and I don't want to make it seem like I'm trying to take **** over. If you all want to stay right here that's cool with me. I basically just want to settle in somewhere perenament.

i totally think a new place with better features and more expandability would be great. My only downfall is that I really don't have the money to put into it. lol, if I did... we wouldn't be here now. This place has very few features, I think we would be able to survive one more jump, I do very well with getting the word out and sht. So, I have bunches of time to put into it. :D

Which is why I think the group of us makes such a good team. We all are very different and have different skills to put into this project. I normally would not have the money to put into this, but since I just got my income tax returns I'm okay to lay down some dough. If I didn't spend it on this I'd spend on something stupid anyway. Like a new mattress. (winks at pattie. lol. *inside joke*)
