So as to not get this new board off to a bad start, no discussion of game backups here.

I'll cut some slack since our signature red warning text hasn't been placed up above yet ;-)

We do need skinning work.

Both on frontend (Joomla) and the forum (SimpleMachines).

Right now, both are basically default...time did not permit more customization. If someone would like to help find/customize/create a nice wrapper or skin, let me know. I will get there eventually, but may be a while...

-forum to talk about news, I could make a general one for news...but the hope is to keep topics organized by subtopics. I suppose news allows this, its kept in topics. I am not sure how we would support this now...the forum and frontend are seperate entities. Perhaps a thread can be auto-created in the db when news is posted. Something for a future, there may be a mod to do this.

Will be integrating user-db here with the frontend-
 - will allow news submission
 - will allow link submission
 - will (eventually) allow article and file submission
all moderated of course

-Good idea on the emails...if we can just get at the list Any volunteers to write a script? or, can reinstall the board / re-enable for a short time perhaps.

-any FAQs written will be accepted. I will soon post more details and a better submission process for content.

-yes, calendar available. release list for what kinda stuff exactly though? future homebrew stuff?

Not too much money, I just know what to spend it on

The HD is definitely one of the (seemingly) simpler areas to start looking at and get our feet wet...assuming I can get ahold of a box.

No SATA anything in my desktop system...good excuse to upgrade to a new machine? :-)

I have yet to hear anything about file system details.

Alas, no Xbox yet :-( Walmart lines are insane. Hoping to snag one in the morning...I *NEED* one!

You forgot to ask how many of each, or both ;-)

I think I need at least two, one to take apart and the other to play with
