I sent off this e-mail yesterday, never expecting to get the reply that I did:<P>------------------------------------
A while back I signed up for gear.keenspace.com by "The Site Mechanics". As the idea for what I want to do has grown, I'd wonder if it'd be possible to change it to unofficial.keenspace.com by "The KeenSpace Group". You may have read <A HREF="http://"http://www.keenspace.com/forums/Forum1/HTML/000168.html"" TARGET=_blank>the thread</A> on the Help forum a while back about 'Spacers who are willing to help out with the running of KeenSpace. I can understand that you might not be to keen on the idea of giving people you don't know access to the 'Space server, so I'm suggesting that we have an unofficial KeenSpace page run by a few of us (Chris Chobotor, Steve Tonks, and StrRedWolf are the others I'd suggest at the momment) that'd have news, random artist profiles, over/re-views of the comics, as well as what I've mentioned before; a place to host all the dropdown scripts, newbox images, FAQs, links to FTP clients, image editing software, etc.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Teri Crosby:
<B>I think that's a great idea! But I think it should be an official Keenspace page with a large link to it from Keenspace's main page. So instead of "unofficial.keenspace.com," maybe name the URL "keenspacegroup.keenspace.com"?</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
The only problem I can see is that there's stuff on the 'Space site that you can't acess until after you're a member, so what would we do (for example) if we wanted a FAQ for the tags or storyline dropdown? There's four possible solutions I can see: 1) We don't have them at all (rather not do that tho'), 2) a security code system on the unoffical site, 3) those pages are sent to you to put into members.keenspace.com/ (so they come under your security system), or 4) we just upload them and hope for the best (don't think you'd be to happy about that one).
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR><B>I think your number 3 idea above would solve that problem the best.</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
If it's a no-go, let me know, thanks.

That, indeed, rules. My question is whether or not logo and dropdown hosting would come underneath this umbrella to end for the confusion in referrer statistics. I've been calling for that since the first Keenspace 100 and I'm hoping your brilliance can cover my annoyance in a wacky umbrella held aloft my magical crystal gears.<P>I used "wacky" too often today.<P>------------------

[ambiguity]Oh, absolutely.[/ambiguity] <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif"><P>I've got a very basic page (read- the only links that work are to the list and the guide) over at <A HREF="http://gear.keenspace.com" TARGET=_blank>gear.keenspace.com</A> to give a rough idea oh what would be on the site. If anyone comes up with something better, let me know.<P>I'm looking to see If I can get it changed to <B>official.keenspace.com</B> as IMO, it sounds better than "gear", and "keenspacegroup" sound more like it's about the group than by it.<P>I'll keep you posted.<P>------------------
