Team Canada - It\'s about time!

[AinuLainour]

Hey everyone,

Seeing that many other countries such as Spain and Poland having official sites and forums, I think that the Canadians are long overdue for a forum and official team of their own.

After all, we have great painters such as Vincent Hudon (Silphid), Jason Richards, Angela Imrie (SaxonAngel), and Earl Mark. And that\'s just a few of them.

Canada is the second biggest country in the world, are full of great hobbyists, and so it is time that we get a team together!

Yup. I\'ll be looking forward to seeing some good stuff from the Canadians. I hope they make some new articles and nice things to see. It\'s just like christmas! lol

Hi, I\'m Canadian

Trouble is, I paint really slowly and I never go to the demons (I didn\'t even get to the Toronto ones last time)...

But I\'m intereested in helping somehow...

 

[AinuLainour]

Cool, if you could help moderate the forums that would be great.

I\'m also looking for web designers and the likes, though I don\'t have any cash right now so is there a way we could get a free site like this?

 

[MPJ]

Canadian here!

I have a background in web programming but I\'m no designer and well, havn\'t used the programming side in years. I could help in some way or another I\'m sure.

I\'ve been humming and hawing for a bit now about getting my own web site...

 

[matty1001]

free webs, or something like that, just have a search on google. Just that and a little time and you should be up and running in no time.

 

[AinuLainour]

Thanks for the interest and such, if it\'s alright with you, MPJ, could you set up a site on freewebs? We can add details , a logo and such a bit later.

In a PM NSA said he could be a forum moderater.

This idea of mine is progressing at a rapid rate!

 

[AinuLainour]

I\'ve started a forum on Invision Power Boards, it\'s looking pretty promising so far so naturally I\'m pretty excited about this

 

[matty1001]

Well lets just hope it takes off, iv seen forums crash and burn because they just couldnt get the interest.

 

[AinuLainour]

The Canadian hobbyist community is pretty active, so that should keep it alive.

 

[matty1001]

Well good luck, and get the word out!

 

[MPJ]

Well I would think we gotta figure out where to start first. :drunk:

I was just at freewebs farting around with their website builder (I\'m so old fashion I prefer making websites in a text editor) and after about 2 minutes I came up with...

http://www.freewebs.com/mjeanrie/

I\'ll frig around more with it a bit later but we really need to pick a direction to go in or it\'s going to get confusing fast.

What\'s this Invision Power Boards thingie your talking about? Keep in mind what I said earlier about my web programming background being many years old and virtually unused since about Y2K.

 

[AinuLainour]

I\'m still trying to figure out how to get the forums and sub-forums visible.. bah!

For now here\'s the url: http://s10.invisionfree.com/GD_Team_Canada/

 

[MPJ]

Bah, cheap buggers at freewebs can\'t do \'.ca\' it seems. :drunk:

 

[AinuLainour]

Do you know what\'s wrong with the invision forums? I can\'t get the topics to show up.

 

[Ebonbuddha]

New in the import section.

Uh...Can I join when I get back across the pond?

 

[AinuLainour]

Of course you can!

 

[SilAx]

Uh...why did I have a sense Ainu started a thread like this?

Heh..

Good Idea.

 

[AinuLainour]

New forums up:
