creating guilds - specifically websites and logos.
« on: November 03, 2004, 12:08:04 am »
can anyone help me, im trying to make a guild but i dont have a clue where to load my site onto, can anyone recommend a good free website server?

Also can you tell me how to create those cool little icons and logos for your guild, i espescially the type of one the mercenaries have.

Any help would be happy.

Might want to check out ifreepages.com, had some issues with server dropage every once in a while but I think that had to do with the hurricanes and the upgrading they were doing afterwords. But for free you really get alot of options.

I think they also have templates so if you really have no idea what you are doing it is a good place to start.
I really think your best bet is to learn HTML and hand code everything in a text editor though :P


As far as logos and buttons and stuff, imagination, inspiration and photoshop. :D

Well good luck anyway.

Make sure you check around if there are any guilds you are interested in joining before running off and making your own.

http://tavern.blueglyph.net/modules.php?name=Guilds (Kada\'s Guild list) is always a good places to start.

Ornery little newb, ain\'tcha? You can try http://www.freepgs.com. Oh, and are you really sure that there\'s not a single guild for you? I mean, I seiously doubt you\'ll come up with an original idea. No offense intended.

I can\'t see why you shouldn\'t make a guild if you feel like it. Give it a shot and the worst thing that can happen is that you fail. Just try to make it as original as possible, for everybody\'s sake...

I don\'t think he\'d have trouble with originality, at least not in PS...
I can think of many ideas (ideas that will stay mine in case I ever need to implement them) that have not been done.

I am proud member of The Community...
What do you have against us Xanetia?

Phinehas, I like the word ornery.

Hey Xanetia.
 If you want to create a guild, create it, don\'t care if the others tells you not to. It\'s your choice after all. But if you\'ll do it, you should think that it takes a lot of time to create a decent background for it, and also taking care of it. Well, I hope you\'ll find some original ideas (most of them were taken, and Adeli, trust me I know that for sure :P ...). Good Luck!
 
 PS - What is \"The Community\" ? Never heard of it before, though I see you have plenty members and 2 known names to me -> Zeraph & Idofex

ornery:  Mean-spirited, disagreeable, and contrary in disposition.

I don\'t think you\'ll be a great leader... you sound cantankerous and not very resourceful :P.
But if you\'re willing to start a new one, which you claim to be original, then I might as well wish you good luck on it, unless it\'s a rpless guild -_-.

Disclaimer: This is my opinion and I can be reasoned with. I'm probably right, though.

Wow all you people are telling her / him all the terrible, low space sites that give you loads of pop ups and banners, I know where to get free webspace for 400mb\'s compared to the 20mb\'s you get with angelfire and geocities and the like...

Of course I won\'t tell you the provider as that would be un business like of me o.0...

Note: Just search for Free Websites, you should find a search website specifically for Free web sites, it shows most of them on there with some really great ones, look around till you find a really good provider...

Seems to me I told him of a place that gives you 100mb, a MySql database with phpMyadmin, email accounts and no pop-ups.
Also how does telling or not telling someone about a supposed free site become \"un business like\". If the site is truely free what\'s the big deal.

I know what ornery means Sangwa, I said I like it, I like cantankerous too.

To find out about The Community, click the link in my sig... We are a trade guild, only caring about becoming rich. We are neutral. You know Waylander (Armeen) Annah? It\'s his guild. Right now we are not very active, most have their reasons.

Xanetia: \"rpless\" means RP-less, a guild that does not Role Play.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

Annah, there are still some ideas out there... waiting for an oppurtunity.

I like Red Jelly Beans!
