New Website

[SubmissMe]

I am currently working on a .com philosophy website displaying not just my own theroies but theories of other philosophers as well as members. The site will include a large forum strictly dedicated to philosophical debate as well as displaying a vareity of different theories and background to philosophers.

I am considering purchasing a .com name for this, and considering my computing understanding is limited I could use a little help.

Who thinks this will be a good idea? Who thinks they can help (even EMG if you aren't too busy)?

Where else have you advertised it?
If it is just here then no, you will get little traffic, you need to advertise it more.
This forum is pretty dead normally so I expect most people are not that interested.

Personally I would not bother, there are plenty of philosophy sites on the internet already.

Also a .com tends to be expensive but whether that matters depends on how much you expect to gain from the site and how much spare money you have lying around.

Why do you want to?

I'm for it. Putting in the back gound is actualy a good idea, that I haven't seen much.

I have money spare for a .com name, and for me this is more about experience than money. As for traffic, I want to target this forum (as well as ANY other philosophy forums I can find) and in a sense unify them.

I agree that there are several philosophy forums out there, also there are a couple of good sites explaining biographies on philosophers and important theories. However so far to my knowledge there is no readily accessible site where people can learn and discuss together on the same site.

Again I intend to make my site free, and any money made would most likely be through banner ads. The main aims are to inform, and create a ground for discussion. I am honestly not too bothered about how much the purchase will cost, as long as it is not over $100 - am I being too unrealistic here?

Is anyone willing to help or offer advice on creating a website? Does anyone know websites particularly well and has time to spare?

This project has so far not even been started, it is merely a pipedream, but will it work?
