Title: hey guys
Post by: Saturn2004 on November 29, 2004, 11:00:05 pm
Hey guys  i know  i havent posted  in   awhile soi would like  to take this moment to  say "Hi  again ,nice to meet you fellas again "

Anyways i been busy with  the  Offline life which is 80% of why i havent visted  here in awhile

Any ways ,  lets get to the subject matter on  why  im posting this little  message...
As you  might  all ready know, my  website is going to a  gaming  community that will  focus on many games , beyond Freespace2 and into games  such as Halflife2 ,Unreal Tournament '03 and '04
Quake 2 and 3, Americas Army, Halo, Battle Field 1942, Deus Ex , Farcry and last  but not least Doom 3
The  will also  be  focusing on racers such as Need for  Speed and such and  also not to  forget the sims Freelancer and Descent 3

Besides, the other , main reason  i posted this message here is that i need to find the right Streamin  format for my radio  show that will focus on and include  Daily Tech \Computer hardware \software news \tips\ strategies \tips, \hints , \and gaming\mod news

all this work should be  done  by  early  january as i work on the site in my free time which i dont  have much of
If  you have any input on my what site  should have other  than what i listed , im  listening with wide open ears
feel  free to input any you  would like

so  if you  guys  could spare the time could you tell me which format is best for streaming audio?
like which  would be the best?
shoutcast?
windows media?
realplayer?
quicktime?
:confused: :confused: :confused:

hopefully i can  air this show  daily with tech\computer  hardware \software news first   tips and  strategies second and hints and  mods  third
what do you guys think? :thepimp:

Also  how do i , is there any way i could  advertise my  site  once it is up?
does advertising cost any  thing?
and how do i  submit my  site to the search engines such as google and lycos?
im basically asking  on how  do i  get  traffic to site onc e it is done
which im  guessing is a hard thing to do..
any ideas  folks?

Does anyone  know of a  place to get mods  for the  games i listed?
if you  know, please tell me  it would be of great  help to me in  fact in
 any kind of help would be appreciated
Your help in any way shape or  form would be  greatly appreciated

im also looking  for staff member  postions to filled like new  fetchers and posters im also looking for ppl to search for new mods to post on the  site. but i know  most of you guys (90 %)  are busy with your own  lives but if your interested , please  pm  me or  contact me via ICQ\ MSN my MSN handle is ([email protected])

Gosh this must the longest post  i have ever  written

Now  i would  like to ask  this question: how have you guys  been doing?
what's new in the HLP community?

Well that is it
hats all of things i can  think of to  ask
Thank you for your time
Your help if any  would appreciated

see you guys around.....
Cheers,
Saturn

Sounds like an interesting idea.

Windows Media would be best (at least for people with IE, that way it streams in the browser).

You could probably get a banner made and have it posted at more unofficial sites for free but I think that if you want advertising like the banner you see on HLP it will cost you.

Seriously though, would you be the only one doing this internet show and do you actually have any experience with this or would this mostly be testing the water.
