|
|
Hey all, it's Friday finally! Well, this post is about a news service exclusive to Starship and all our sector RPGs (and backstories regarding the sectors and/or governments). I was thinking last week about a news service for Starship where each SM (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jan-04, to lugnet.gaming.starship, FTX)

(...) Sounds intriguing. I like the idea, but who's gonna run it? Who's gonna provide the web space? Are we going to archive everything, or only make current "stories" available? Is there popular support for the idea? All these questions and more, (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jan-04, to lugnet.gaming.starship, FTX)

(...) Emailed to me by Jeff Shaw Please post my response to .starship....Thanks. 1: I have banner free web space available. I could also set up a bulletin board for it. I personally can't do news reporting, but will welcome others to do the work and (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jan-04, to lugnet.gaming.starship, FTX)

(...) I will run it. I have time at least once per week to update and such. I will provide the webspace, even though Jeff Shaw has said so also, but I have 300MB left on my account; surely we won't use that much. Maybe JHK can help me code a PHP (...)

(...) I have my own domain as well, with enough space (more than enough, actually). The only thing I can't do is make a forum, as the free one I use (PHP, but you need MYSQL) uses MYSQL, but I only have 1 allowed database, which is in use. If you (...)

(...) I like the general idea here, and I think something that just allows simple message posts is fine. A few ideas to add to the list: 1. Perhaps posting should require a password so that only official reporters (i.e. SMs) can post news messages (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jan-04, to lugnet.gaming.starship, FTX)

In lugnet.gaming.starship, folks wrote in favour of newsie stuff. Not sure I follow gang. How is this different from what we can already post here or on the old board, or on the various boards associated with the various sectors? And posting our own (...)

(...) Well, it would be our own seperate page or few where the graphics can change and it's less LUGNETy. Yes, I have delayed quite a while in the past, but so haven't we all. Life is unpredicatble.

(...) Posted for JHK: Lugnet won't let me post. D@mn! Here's my message: The number of databases doesn’t matter in PHP. As long as none of the table names are duplicated its fine to store everything in one database. I know PHP and MySQL and I could (...) (21 years ago, 11-Jan-04, to lugnet.gaming.starship, FTX)

Posted by JHK: (...) Well, ICDSoft only allows me one MySQL database, and I'm not very good with MySQL, so I can't have another database. However, I do like your site.
