   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 has a news reporter which reports on local in-sector events. It would be somewhat like Jain’s Guide, only exclusive to Starship.

“Reporters” from each sector would be able to make a weekly or so report on sector activities, such as what ships are where, how the government is, etc. This can range from anything regarding the sector IC.

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 I will post to the site or have the reporters just submit to the BBS. I support the creation of a BBS that is open to all, I don’t have posting priv on lugnet yet, and I think I am not the only one.

I will give space in my domain for this site, an archive, and/or a bbs. whatever the populace agrees on.

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 can do the BBS, go to http://phpbb.com and see if you can set that up on your site. You need a database though.

Or, if we can work on a PHP form to submit the story and autoupdate the page, that’ll work too.

(...) 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 (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jan-04, to lugnet.gaming.starship, FTX)
