Hello fellow castleheads,
I am pleased to announce a new castle website in the process of being put
together this fall. Earlier this summer Lenny Hoffman and I agreed that it
would be nice to have a castle website that served several missing functions
in the community. We would like to have free advertising for all currently
available custom castle sets and instructions, a featured building
instructions area, highlighted creations, interviews of builders, and maybe a
forums area to discuss all things castle related.
Our site and organization would be called the Castle Builders Guild ( tm )
An extremely rough mockup of the site can be seen here:

I like the idea of an http://www.classic-space.com or an http://www.iltco.org
web site. I think it is overdue for the castle theme. It would be a great place
for a standard to be created and diseminated.
After looking over you post and taking a look at the proposed web site, I have
two words of caution. One, I like to MOCs you are attmepting to sell, but you
need to decide if the web site is about selling MOCs in a
http://www.bricksmiths.com/ Guild of Bricksmith manner or you are trying get all
of the castle people together on the same page. The two are mutually exclusive.
Second, there are people working on a castle standard. This would work like the
monobase project and would enable castle people to come together with as many
modules as they want to build and create a large mediveal village in the
process. Something akin to the whole being greater than the sum of the parts.
I would get with them to see what is being done on this effort. You might be
duplicating your efforts when you could be working together.
