Kewl. Consider snagging my basic scripts and making the EXE for download. People have asked but I havent found a free compiler I like.

If you guys want we can probably help out with some server space. We are running Windows2003, so I hope that isn't an issue.

Thanks. Im also offering mostly server space. Im running Debian Linux. Between us we have everyone covered. I suspect we are in the same boat. We would like to help someone make this happen but not volunteering to manage yet another site

Some people are apparently web designers who have offered to make pages but so far no webmaster has offered to manage the whole package.

Question about launching on windows machine. I can launch successfully using the command line args described below, however, once its running there doesn't seem to be a way to modify the values without taking it down entirely. Is this the expected behavior?

If you launch it in text mode it is not interactive. But if you launch it in graphical mode (remove -T) it should be possible to change some values as you go.

I guess I will start playing with some asp/javascript to refesh myself. Are there any databases on those servers that we can store information to (user accounts, game information, etc)?

No big hurry, I will just test stuff against my home IIS/SQL server.

btw, my talent wrt graphics (buttons, borders, backgrounds, etc) rises to the level of totally inept. I can probably handle the actual coding aspect, but the pages will look grotesque.
