TriskDaemon In my opinion, a site for this guild would need image hosting, links to member pages, and it would be nice if we could run contests and announcements off the site (clean up those stickies!) rather than the forum, which isn't really ideal for that sort of thing. It would also make the site a more integral part of the guild. If we don't impart some necessary function to the site, it will be just as it is now: there, but unused. Just my thoughts.
I think our l33t master GhoSt-X can provide hosting and knows how to set up a way for members to upload pics through a browser, which would be very useful. xd
Putting up things that people need to know but don't need to respond to - like announcements, resources and member websites is a good idea, as long as people don't mind having an extra place to check instead of one central place. Maybe try to update the site weekly, monthly, or something regular, so everyone knows when to take a look at the site for updates?
You're right about the need to make it a more integral part of the guild so that its used; we'll have to keep that in mind for all aspects of it.

This sounds like a good idea, the only problem I have with this is that well I have only been around here for a couple of days, but I still do not see much activity in the guild, it is mostly the same people posting. Thus, making the site could eventually be a waste of time if there are not many people to visit it.
On another note, I was wondering if we can set up portfolios on the site, or just different things that we have done for GAIA members, or what would be cool if we all got a page of our own, to customize, that would take alot of work and webspace but would be cool, its kinda like everyone has their own style and the website is just a portal into each one of our worlds.
One more thing, for image hosting, I know that many of you do not like photobucket.com but whats the big thing about it, I have used them now and then and they seem to be pretty good with hosting. I have also used my own server for hosting images the only problem with that is the bandwith goes waaaay down if alot of people connect, so sadly I can not provide my server as a means of storage sad

It is true that we don't have a huge amount of activity in this guild... but still, I think that a website would be a good way to try and get more members involved, and also to help keep our guild more organised.
The idea of everyone having their own page is good in theory, but... at the moment, we have over 80 members I think, and its on the rise, so if every one of them has their own page, its going to add up to a loooot of space, which we just don't have at the moment.
There's also the problem of implementing it... We could give everyone the username and password, so they can upload what they want at any time, but this would easily get very disorganised, things might be accidentally deleted, and its possible that some people would abuse the free space. We could implement some of log in system, where members only have the ability to change their own page, and have a limited amount of space... but that would require quite a bit of knowledge of databases, and I don't know if there is anyone here that has the knowledge and is willing to do that.
I have no problem with photobucket biggrin In fact that might be the best place to store all the guilds banners and contest entries, to take the load off people's own servers 3nodding I'll have to look into making an account we can upload those kinds of things to.

maybe instead of every person having a whole portfolio page to themselves, there could be group portfolio pages for people who specialize in a certain kind of graphic design, like one page for web site designers, one for logo designers, etc., and there would just be a brief description of each person, a picture of their best/most recent work and a link to their website or online portfolio [assuming they have one]... there would probably be less members involved, since not everyone specializes in one type of design, and it would take up less space on the guild website because nobody would have a full page.
