Many groups have seperate websites associated with their groups. I know MBT has one.
We have 2 actully and a 3rd is in the works.
Ahh, i've seen it BTW, guardian told me about it, looks great.
*shuts up* yall weren't supposed to see that!
Anyways, a website is a very good idea. I mean, many groups have website, as a mattter of fact, i'm working on ODST Recon's site, and well its looking great.
On to the advantages. There is filesharing and hosting, and a downloads section, if you need one, and that can come very handy if your group is like...dedicated to modding. Not cheating, like offline modding. You would want to be able to share your files right? Also, you can pick and choose from awesome themes, and even build one yourself. You can also affiliate with other people's sites, and you can't really do that with bungie.net groups because you won't have a very open line of communication. Plus, groups don't have shoutboxes, and those are the coolest.
There is also one other very very important issue. Since Achronos made taht stupid annoying member deletion *waits for ninjas*, big groups have been getting hit hard by it, and well, they're losing activity. With a website, there is nothing of the sort. You can have 1,000,000 members and still run.
And you can get a website for about $30 a year, its really not expensive at all.
So yes, i like websites much more than the groups, because websites give you freedom, groups just suck.
P.S. Those groups that make websites with just a cool forum and stuff, thats worthless. A website isn'tjust a forum, you need content, otherwise nobody is going to go there. Bungie.net is one of the lucky few, and they have a huge jinourmous game to talk about, so yeah it works for them. But we don't need 15,000 websites to talk about the same thing. You need content.
BTW, Johnrap is this something for GIA?
