that idea crept into my head, but then I re-read your shouting post, and decided that you were just being funny* with us.

btw, does the bbc have some sort of infinite server or something? how much longer can H2G2 grow?
poor Mr. Adams, he wanted H2G2 to be on cell phones and pda's with gps's.
oh well >8^B

Well, Calculator Nerd... figure out the size of a typical post, in bytes...
Estimate the number of posts per day...
Therefore come up with a figure for the amount of new space h2g2 needs each year...
And compare to the per Gb cost of hard disks.
I think you'll find there's nothing to worry about

I'm making an online community from scratch. Anyone want to help me?
The Artist Formerly Known as Nerd42 Posted Oct 9, 2002
I'm in. I don't know how I can help, but I want to learn, and I would be a big-time member of your thing if everything stays moral. Also, I would like to play / write online RPGs, but how do I start?

I'd be a member of such a thing as that if everything stays moral.

You mean a community that is actually PART of the BBC? I thought "from scratch" meant you were doing it yourselves without having most of it already done for you, and there are lots of so-called "online commmunities" that sell porn, so there should be some kind of rule thingy that prevents that, BBC or not.

as far as morality goes, it all depends on the people who play it
i suppose if they want, they can form a government after the game begins
the design crew will all be there, and we will be immortal and all-powerful
we shall smite the wicked
i like to think i am funny >8^B

hey, nerd42, what programming languages do you know?
it'd be great if it is like an RPG, but instead of just stats, everything is alterable
in fact, i have said all of this before, so just read the first thousand pages of posting and you will be caught up >8^B
