Many of you will remeber st0nez, yes he was my friend and yes I gave him my account, but I've come back to mac (yay) and this webboard and I see he's on -10 doesn't that mean hes banned?. Any way some of you may remember that he also started a project CGForge. I've taken this project as he abandoned it, so im asking for help
CGForge will be a place similar to (url="http://"http://www.macgamefiles.com")www.macgamefiles.com(/url) (probaly not quite as well done) but for Coldstone games only with reviews, forums ect.
ANY HELP IS WELCOME

(edit: geocities doesn't allow external image hosting)

PS. I am the one and only st0nez, ADMINS isn't James meant to be banned if he is -10? if so can I have his name?

Ok, your explanation of identities is not coherent.

Your story seems to check out, as the IPs are quite different. I'll assume you'll behave a lot better than he did.

I think it would be best not to start this site until CS comes out, maybe a few months after its release.
I might be willing to help with designing and updating the site, but I don't want to commit myself at this time.I know someone who can provide hosting for $20. (maybe $25, I've gotta check)
I have a few questions about your site. Will you have a domain name? (such as csforge.com) If you want this to be a semi-big project, you should have one.
Also, will it be entirely done in Flash? (or Director) I would probably discourage this for what you want.

Hope it works out.
P.S.: I don't care to much about being payed

I was considering asking Ambrosia about donating some hosting space as it will more then likely benefit them, also glue are you the one who hosted a hotline server? if so perhaps your server and CGForge could merge?
Also I like flash but I do see your point

Yeah, I hosted a Coldstone server for awhile, but I don't have any plans to reopen it in the near future.

Well, if you need help with it, when Coldstone comes out (or, more accurately, some coldstone games come out) I will help review or admin, whatever is needed.

AFAIK, it is the Add-On section, much like EV has space allotted for plug-ins.

Yes, I assumed there would be something like that, but from the tone of andrew's comment, I gathered that there might be more. If you think about it, the average plug-in or add on file in EV is about 1-2MB. A game made with Coldstone will almost certainly be over 50MB. Thus, there will have to be a different system, or a very rigorous screening process, otherwise Ambrosia's servers will slow to a crawl like they did on the weekend when PoG is released.

Undoubtedly there'll be an add-on files section, but it might only be for plugins, updaters etc. As to hosting the actual games themselves, I don't know how it will be done. andrew?

(Don't quote me on this, it aint official). Although Ambrosia will be supportive when you create your game, don't expect every game made to be published under them. I think they'd have to go through a rigerous quality control programme, I doubt ambrosia would like to slap their name on just any old thing.

However, I might be wrong, but andrew said each Coldstone Game published would get the full treatment; webspace, webboard, addons section etc etc, if he published every game made in such a way, poor old ambrosia.net would fill up quicker than floozy in a sweet shop.

Oh well, just a little incentive to make your games that extra good.

Excellent. Thanks, Necro, although I'll remember to keep a sceptical viewpoint just in case. Personally I think I'd have to apply through Ambrosia for publishing, so I suppose my game will have to be just that much better than everyone else's.
