 | | Coming soon, Free web hosting for MOCs
|
|
Over the past few months I've been building a web service that will allow anyone to create their own mini web site for their MOCs. It's free, you can make unlimited pages, there are no annyoing ads or pop-ups, and it's easy -- you don't even need to (...)

(...) I'm interested! (...) I like this idea a lot, as I have seen especially as of late the "shuffle" has been event-oriented. And having reviews with the MOC is a darn good idea! (...) Cool, this also means that there won't be resending of (...) (22 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.publish)

(...) Fantastic! I'm doing the last round of testing myself this week. When I'm done, the site will be ready for "general use" by people such as yourself. Basically, the site should be in working condition, (minus a few things I am working on right (...) (22 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.publish)

(...) Sean, This sounds like a great service, especially for people who want to build a website but don't know how. Right now I'm happy with my site hosted by ozbricks, but I'd be happy to act as a beta tester for your site. My e-mail is (...) (22 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.publish)

(...) Great idea. Looking forward to seeing the final product in production. Don't forget the standard LEGO disclaimer on you site. And don't be afraid to ask for donations, the last thing we would want to see is a great resource taken off-line due (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.publish)

(...) Absolutely. :) I actually spent a lot of time worrying about the legalese, since I know how lawyers can be. (...) I'd thought about incuding a "donate" link on my site, but I didn't want to be presumptuous enough to assume that people wanted (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.publish)

(...) Todd: Wow, that would be great! I suppose " lugnet.announce.mocpages " would be best -- and any followups or discussions to those announcements could always use lugnet.publish. (Unless you envisioned the need for both groups that you (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.publish)

(...) I don’t buy it. Certainly I hope I am wrong but I think this is an elaborate hoax ala Mr. Beneke 2000. Too many things just don’t add up for me – I’ll spare the bandwidth. Sean, if you want to change your launch date, I may reconsider. -Nick (22 years ago, 5-Mar-03, to lugnet.publish)
