This was posted in the Halo 3 Forum but I have been told it would be better to post it here.

Veracity - ve·rac·i·ty - noun, plural. Definition: Truth.

The Website in question [from now on Vnet], is a little something I put together for my Clan. A Week or so ago I decided to remake the entire thing. It will basically be a haven for the Bungie/ Halo fan in all of us.

Now, my ideas are few but they have potential. I know there is a great demand for these (at least the first two).

Game Browser: There are already a few custom game browsers out there, but from my personal experience they are not as easy to use, nor do they work as well as they could. I'd like to create one and I'd like to keep tearing it apart and rebuilding, it until people are happy with it 100%.

Clans: Neither Halo 3 or the Xbox 360 has Clan support (yet). I thought about creating some kind of system to allow you to create a sort of mini-homepage for your Clan. In a sense it would be a little like Bnet's Groups. You would have a Roster, you could post Clan news and events, you would be able to create custom ranks which you could then assign to member's, you would be able to challenge other Clans etc. Again I don't have too many ideas, that's why I'm asking.

Statistics: Bnet has more statistics than you can shake a stick at, there are statistics for basically everything you can think of. Though I was thinking more could be done with them. Graphs and charts to give you a more aesthetically pleasing look at your Statistics. Perhaps there are other things we could do too but I don't know, that's why I am asking for input.

There would be utilities to allow people to share screenshots/ montages/ machinima/ art, basically anything you can think of.

I haven't had much time to think things through but I know one thing is certain - I have the time to dedicate to see this through 'til the end. I will not abandon this project so long as there is at least a slight demand for it.

The ideas presented herein are just that, ideas. I need your help to turn these ideas into something more. I also need people to discuss these ideas without resorting to arguing. I'd like to keep this thread as spam-free, argument-free and as easy to read as possible.

Of course I need your ideas too. If you are going to post ideas then please try to put as much effort into them as possible. The same applies for giving feedback/ constructive criticism on ideas.

I have to say this sounds like a very good idea. I'm not so programming savy, but if you need any help if you plan to do this, you can ask me.

Dianna Agron is the epitome of perfection.

Quinntology.

Sounds like a very good idea, however first you need to pull it off. I hope you do, it would be a pretty good contribution.

*Good idea to move it to this forum, it never would of been noticed in the Halo 3 forum.

Well I'm the "programmer guy", I don't know everything but I know more than enough to take this on. The good thing is I already have a little framework made which will mean the overall time to get the Website finished will be cut drastically.

Anyway, I will be keeping an eye out for members of the Bnet community which I deem "worthy" of moderator positions and I will also be looking for people to perform other various tasks/ duties (e.g. posting news articles).

For now I'd like to form a little gang with people who have a little time to dedicate who can help me plan things out. Help me find out what people want and how they want things to work. If anyone's interested then just say the word.

Thanks a lot, I have all the time in the World to get this done (I don't have a Job at the moment and I'm doing College from Home). Plus creating Websites has always been a passion of mine, I enjoy it. =P

It will happen, just like I said, I need some ideas and some feedback.

I am sorry but at its core this is still an advertisement. Advertisements belong in The Classifieds.

Unfortunatley, I'll have to partially agree there, so this will be my last post in this topic (unless a Ninja says otherwise). I think it would be a good idea for you set up a group on Bungie, or on another website. Just PM me as to where it is, because I would definetly like to be part of this.

I don't see how it can be an advertisement been as though I don't even link to the Website in question. That's like an ad saying "OMG 1,000,000TH visitor! Click here to claim your prize!", yet you click it and nothing happens...

Nevertheless, it looks like I'm going to have to create a group for this. I'll edit this post once I've finished setting it up.

EDIT: I made a group.
