I'm making a web site for X-Men vs. Street Fighter online now. I started it in secret because I was not sure if I would have the patience to finish it, but now it is primarily done offline (I will upload the whole thing at once). The site has taken me some 20 hours to make (I did all graphics changes on it) from conception of the idea to finish, and I'll try to update the page as often as possible. By the way, Dan Hibiki (the character) is on the site, but there is a disclaimer saying he isn't on the game, so when you see it (whenever that is) don't worry about it.

My site will include General Information (about why the game was made and some... well, general info), how to get started (all of the setup info for newbies), character information (game history, story, moves), tournaments (see below), frequently encountered problems (warns, read these before posting your own problems to see if they've been covered already), rules of the forum (both written and implied (no degrading posts)), and a links page. In essence, I hope that this site will be a wealth of information, easy to access and informative. THIS IS WHY I DON'T WANT A POP-UP AD SERVER LIKE GEOCITIES OR YAHOO!

I just have a few things to ask...

I need a good name for the site, not something like, "Dan Hibiki's X-Men vs. Street Fighter online page". Suggestions, anyone?

I need some other links besides the game and forum sites. Does anybody want to be linked to my site? Or would you rather wait until you see it to reserve judgement? I had several in mind (Senshukentaikai, Selvin's site and forum, etc.) but I wanted to see if people wanted me to link to their sites first.

TMyApp, I was wondering if I could use your answers and reactions to the constant flow of crap you put up with from people who post and e-mail you to death about repetitive things. It could make for an interesting way of saying, "Don't piss him off."

Zing79, can I please add in to the Frequently Encountered Problems section what you did to subzeroninja? Great example of what not to do to a moderator.

I need to know what the results of past tournaments are so I can put them into a tournament history. Anybody that can supply participants and winners, please post them.

Who knows of a good web server that won't hit me with a pathetically small amount of space to work with?

Thanks in advance for your input. The site will be up as soon as I can get it off my computer (my computer has a bad 3 1/2 in. disk drive, no CD burner, no ZIP disk drive (broke), and no internet/network connection, so that could be fun to figure out).

NO! It will (hopefully) answer all the questions that a newbie to the game/forums could have, from connecting to posting images in the forum.

Uh, thanks so far, but I ASKED QUESTIONS YOU KNOW! Nobody's even tried to answer them yet!

Anyways, it isn't online yet and I'm already adding more stuff (been searching through old posts, and I'm now including some older repetitive posts in the Frequently Encountered Problems section).

sorry, Dan, i cant help you out with a name for your website. Why don't you use one of Dan's moves from other games. Also, you could probably find out results from past tournaments from Zing 79, just email him. Make sure you tell us when your site is up

yeah.. soundz good...

i dont mind providing the hosting as long as the site is not that big (that reminds me... my bad nosoul, it slipped my mind)

as for quoting me.. umm.. i think that might NOT be such a good idea :biggrin:

everyfin else is fine...

and how about "Ryu's Super Fun Happy Water Slide" for a page name ?? .. well.. anyway.. :biggrin:

Okay... changes noted, and will be made. I'm thinking about naming the site Koryu Rekka World just to act just like Dan Hibiki and copy somebody (only people who've used Dan would understand that joke).

I hope to have it ready to upload on Sunday. It all depends on how many more changes I receive in the posts from the forums.

LOL wow at least someone has more success then me on making a website, I started mine 2 weeks ago, and I haven't finished it yet. During that 2 weeks I learned so much about websites like Dhtml, flash, ect.....I have been working on these too much, so I never have time to finish my site, but I am working on it this weekend, and it will be soon to finish. Dan.....I have found a site that supports more then 16 megabytes of space to work with, but you have to ask them to host you. It has unlimited space, it's called someonething like uzipp.com ( I think). And if I finish my site in time let me have your link to your site.

I'm not focusing on Flash, Shockwave, movies, or anything like that. Updates will come, and things will be improved. Part of it is that I don't know how to program in Flash or Shockwave, but heck, when I feel like learning how, I will. I'm lazy like that.

Also, TMyApp offered to host the site already, so that is set. The site is rather small, seeing as I don't have any of the above mentioned things on it. Things work out great like that.

<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>Reads Dan Hibiki's post saying that TMyApp has offered to host site already. Rembering the past, Selvin runs through living room, opens door, goes out in the dark and says **** *** ** ***** ****</span>

Selvin, what was that about? Trouble with the past, I suppose...

But anyways, I have made a moderators section in the General information section of my site. It gives descriptions of each mod of this forum, and what doesn't make them happy. Problem is, I don't know about leftyfb and lordcyris's likes and dislikes for the forums. If any current mods can tell me what pisses them off I can put it in the descriptions (it is meant to tell newbies what can get them banned).

http://xmvssf.onweb.cx I don't want hosting now, but when this site was updated I think I deserved it.
