Well, I'm actually thinking about hosting the website on my computer. (Can't trust those free hosting sites after a while.) It turns out that Mac OS X has Apache web server built into it, so I can host my own site, made in iWeb. I already have the site up, but the domain name is my IP address, so I'm not sure if It's a good idea.well, maybe you should buy a web domain...
What I'm wondering is how servers have the name "http://weebly.com/" instead of "http://123.456.7.890/weebly/" (the 123.456.7.890 is the server's IP address, and the /weebly/ is the folder that holds the weebly website.) If I knew that, the I would have the TimeCraft website hosted by my computer.
i think it has something to do with the fact that internet hosting is very different. when you're running the site off of your computer, all you're doing is accessing files from the given filepath.
this also means that you can't access a locally hosted site if you're not on the same LAN (i think that's true, not sure)

No, my computer hosts by IP, so I can view the site anywhere, just like real servers. I don't see why I can't, instead of hosting my IP as a domain, host a real domain.

Ha! I got it! Here's the new site (just testing right now) srrcollab.dyndns.org Yes, it has a .dyndns.org extension, but it is basically just an IP mask. It's hosting from my computer. (Which means that it might be down a lot because my computer turns off and goes to sleep and such.)

Oh wait! How about... Ragnarok. Old Norse for end of the world... Which is Armageddon in our case. I think. Let me look that up...

EDIT: For those of you who don't know, a sentinel is like a guardian, with a sort of supernatural connotation.Hmm, it doesn't really seem to go with the theme. Do you want to be in the Marketers category?
Well... Sentinels seems to fit. Sort of.

That should be what the humans call them... And the aliens call themselves the Tri-Kreen or something.

heheh. how 'bout sünya seçen. it means "World Eaters" in Turkish. or the same phrase in Czech, which is svět jedlík. or Swedish, värld ät. i could do this all day...
btw names sound MUCH cooler if they have foreign accents in them.

Once my computer gets fixed it usually ALWAYS on
EDIT:
#1 as you can see i have not been on this thread a whole lot. Im using my mom's pc at the moment to type this.
#2 You guys can just host from my server. Though it might not hold. We can use 1&1 for a domain
(they are 1.99 for email service and domain for .info's)
Here is "srrcoallab.info"
1&1.com-srrcollab.info
Yeah its a .info but they are way cooler than .com's. But we cpuld still do .com

I think my computer is okay for a server. Besides, I've set it up to go to sleep if I email it "--!@", which will stop all processes, meaning the website is unavailable.

By the way, the theme designers are done so all we need to do is wait for two more graphic designers to sign up.
Over 400 now!
PS Congrats on the feature

Um... no we aren't. We still have to design the campaigns, which will probably take as long/longer than what we've done so far.

could I help out with the game? I could be like an advertiser person or something. what do you want me to do to audition?
oh, and why change the name? TimeCraft is an awesome name! Unless you want something a little more descriptive, like Alien Hunt or Space Race or something.

A lot of people don't think TimeCraft is very original or good. I don't need you to audition. (I gave up on that)
