So, what are you starting on GP1?

Didn't I already?

I can do most. Um, FluxBB is easy. Not sure if I could do an upload thing, but I could do everything else! 

I was browsing the forums and happened to look at this post (seeing as I own my own website, Klub, which I coded myself). I noticed that you said you were using 000webhost to host your site, and I would like to warn you that if you have any community features (forums, blogs, etc.), which it looks like you do, I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND switching hosts.

I started making my website there, and it went well for the first 4 months. Then, out of nowhere, they shut my website down. I can only assume it was because of the amount of bandwidth my community was consuming (even though I was nowhere near the 10 GB they promise). Luckily I had a somewhat recent backup downloaded, so my site wasn't lost entirely.

After that, I found Squareserve.com to be a great, cheap replacement (if you visit my website, you can see I still use it). They offer much better service and features for a one-time payment of $10. And even if you don't want to pay $10, they even have a free plan with nearly the same stuff (but with ads).

I hope your site-making goes well. Just trying to give you some good advice to prevent anything bad from happening.

I can make a guestbook and a mini search engine for your site

Sad part is when you make a new page you have to update the database for the search engine D:

isn't that what a crawler is for? you could use google on your site.

I will just say 1 thing ... USE NODE.JS and REDIS instead of PHP / MYSQL Why ?? because you  rock when you dont block

lol are you guys trying to make a realtime website or a something like um dynamic pages ??

The difference b/w dynamic pages and realtime is . taht realtime gets updated as soon as somebody or something causes changes . say u earnt some points so as soon as u got em u get em, but dynamic pages are generated on the time of request so u will have to load the page every n seconds for points to be getting updated or else they will only find out that points have changed on a refresh etc..


If you are making realtime then here is a small article i and some friends wrote : A COMMUNITY WIKI POST ON HOW TO MAKE A REALTIME WEB SERVER USING PHP or NODE.js WITH ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF BOTH


oh not to mention i might help you guys writing PHP/NODE/AJAX or whatever you use for your website as i am familier with all of them.
