to detail all the cool stuff that was planned or in the drawing boards if World War II had continued into 1946-47 on all sides (RAF, USAAF, VVS) etc.
However, while buying the webspace is easy. Setting up the website is not. Simple HTML with links like my personal home page My Page, just won't cut it today. This is 2009, not 1999.
People expect drop down menu bars etc from their websites nowadays...

What makes Hotdog any better than the basic HTML editor that comes with Open Office for free?

But if Shep is trying to reach a wider audience, some decent design would be called for. It doesn't have to be spectacular, but it could be nice and clean.

LOVE the content, Shep! So far, it's 100% true to life!
Seriously, I like the concept and am looking forward to you fleshing out the site.
The only people who were safe were the legion; after one of their AT-ATs got painted dayglo pink with scarlet go faster stripes, they identified the perpetrators and exacted revenge. - Eleventh Century Remnant
O hey Mike; what settings should I pay VERY close attention to, to keep out the riff raff?

Left a present in the WWII forum...I dunno what we're actually supposed to talk about in there, so I just threw some shit together .
I love the smell of September in the morning. Once we got off at Richmond, walked up to the 'G, and there was no game on. Not one footballer in sight. But that cut grass smell, spring rain...it smelt like victory.
Dynamic. When [Kuznetsov] decided he was going to make a difference, he did it...Like Ovechkin...then you find out - he's with Washington too? You're kidding. - Ron Wilson

Oh man, forum rot. There's no reason to have one forum per war, especially not from the very beginning. I've always felt that one of the strengths of this board is that it has grown gradually, with forums added as deemed necessary. Starting out with a large number of forums seems to only dilute a message board. I'd suggest reducing it to one forum per century and requiring that threads about a specific war be labeled, [WW2], [Vietnam], etc. Then if one particular subject has much more discussion than others you can make a separate forum for it. The creation of N&P to take the pressure off OT at the beginning of the Iraq war is a good example.
Before I saw your post, I already had consolidated the VIetnam/Korean/etc forums into "Post 1945"
I guess I can consolidate WWI and WWII + Interwar Period into "The World Wars"

This should be quoted, burned into steel then mailed to every person who even considered making their own internet forum at some point in their lives. Far too many internet forums exist with less than dozen users and three times that number of subforums. If there was a recipe to doom a forum from day one this is the best one.
Seriously MkSheppard should heed your sage advice try to cut down on number of sub forums to just the right amount that will hopefully create a lively board.
I have to tell you something everything I wrote above is a lie.
