[arg_discuss] A possible way forward? - first steps

[Marc Williams]

Hi there,
Although I will probably use this splendid resource more than I'll be  
able to contribute to it, and not disliking Argology.org, may I humbly  
offer

ARGON.org?

Being as we're an Acronym to begin, I was playing about with the  
Alternate Reality Gaming Origination Network
and lest we forget, Argon is:
'The most abundant noble gas on Earth'

Club motto perhaps? ;o)

OK, yep, I thought you were offering to host, but wasn't sure. I think
because you were first to jump into the ring before the call to host was
asked, it is right that you should do it! That would be great John. :)

And given Ivan has generously also jumped in to help, perhaps Ivan can  
get
the domain name? ;P

Are you guys happy with that? Sorry for the mixup!

Well, I have my Dreamhost account where I host a few websites. I've  
already
set up WordPress, MediaWiki, PHPBB forums (both 2 and 3), registered  
domain
names and written custom PHP stuff, so I have some experience with it.
There's even other stuff you can easily install, like Moodle. (I don't  
know
what that is, but I can set it up for you.) Also, I've got all sorts of
disk space and bandwidth, and I'd be happy to share some for the ARG  
SIG.
The only actual expense would be registering the domain, which is  
$9.95 a
year...Heck, I could donate that too. ;) Or someone else could register
the domain and point it to the site.
