Fair enough, but if I put the time in which I'm prepared to do and others too there's no reason why this won't work (he says) :lol:

dza speaks some truth

ideas like this tend to fall apart after a few weeks. Not that that's going to happen, it's just a possibility we need to be aware of. It sucks to put a lot of work into something and watch it go to waste quickly.


I think the two big things crucial to keeping it going are
- Exclusive content
- A team of committed, dedicated people to produce content on a consistent basis

The basic fundamentals would be:

-regular, fresh content, which I think we can get if we put our heads together-(this is afterall a transient industry, something new is coming up all the time).

-Regular contributors-which I think we can get if enough people want to be involved and are dedicated enough

-A regular readership, which I think we can get also.

So the basics are there it's just a case of making the first moves. I'll get a few PMs pinged off before this weekend and see what I can come up with.

Yeah, a name would be mighty useful. :mrgreen: And a domain for that matter. Dunno what the deal is with regards to the hosting is, how it works etc... but I assume you can pick your own domain name if you have your hosting?

I really can't think of anything catchy to potentially call it.... I think we should keep it simple.

http://www.dubstepforumblog.com or something is fine in my opinion.

yup, I just have to register a domain and point it to my hosting service's nameservers.

dubstepforumblog.com would be just fine, dsfblog.com is another option. or both.

DSFblog.com is definitely a good call. What sort of designs/colour schemes etc would be good... do we use the exisiting logo, or do we create another one?

Phigure, what do you think? You're the design geezer. :mrgreen:

blacker than the blackest black

i'll start working on some rough designs

i'm somewhat hesitant to stick too much time into this (ie, actually coding it) before i can be sure that there's some people who are genuinely committed

i'm thinking a modification of the current logo. which happens to be convenient since I already recreated the logo in a vector form for the wallpapers in my signature.

i doubt the admins will like this idea (using the dsf name for a blog)

.... but there's no harm starting a dubstep blog run by people from the forum.
