I am willing to help and I think it would be a great Idea if you put how tos on the portal. Like how to connect to pso and put ip adressed vmu saves on that. I think it should be a section called: game server info. I also think that puting some news or weather on there so i can be like Igoogle for dreamcast. If there is anyway I can help just let me know.

Hey thanks for the ideas. Now that i finally got my dc online, i should get started any time now.

Do you have any web design knowledge? Impulse told me it would be required because dc browsers doesnt like "pre made" website (those content management systems i mean) so everything would have to be done by hand.

Ive made websites before but only using WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) programs like free webs or Kompozer. If you want web coding or coding in general unforutunatley the only thing I can do is copy and paste but if you want me to create a website with kompozer I can do that. I am also still waiting to get a dreamcast. (I am 15 years old and have no money at the time) but if you need somebody like that then I can help.

That should be just fine for webpages optimized for dreamcast.

Wow thats great! I thought I would have to do some detailed coding or something. Yeah if you want me to make it just tell me what do and point me in the right direction and Ill do it. That java chat thing that smith gave us would be something to do. I think Impulse would have to give us the server info though. I wouldnt know how to do it but I am sure someone would here.

I made a crude rough draft of what could be the template for the website. The dark blue would be links or news or whatever you want. I did the best I could with Microsoft Paint. The reason why I made a simple color background is to make loading times faster for people who are working with 33kb/sec like me. If you dont like it I will change it back.

No problem. :) I just really like bringing stuff back from the dead like this. Thats why I wanted to get chu chu rocket online.
But for dream arena I learned that each user got a basic email account. Well with domain you have aol will create personlized email accounts for it. I think they will create and host them on there server to heres the link: https://my.screenname.aol.com/_cqr/logi ... 2Fhomepage
