Hah, I shall take over... >:)
Anyhow.
The main problem of a site would most likely be the static nature of it... If we have a small site for each CT (like the Wiki) then the updates on their challengeable games or whatsoever will only take place if people in charge of it change the site.
Also, we can't really make a big page with the small amount of things we do. Most likely an FAQ (What is Challenge Taking? Why do you do this? What is a Challenge Lock? Can I be a CT too? etc.) and uhm... maybe a lil history, but CTing is a little too young for that though.
What should we put into a Website too, besides an FAQ and maybe CT profiles?

Linkage to the forum is a given. Maybe even a new forum as I personally kinda dislike Proboards. Events would be a good thing to cover if we get those off the ground.
I'm thinking posting the three to five most recently completed challenges overall on the front page would be an idea, though quite a bit of a stretch to pull off.
We'll probably be able to host other things that the challenge takers do, like Pyrowall's and Foozdude's comics for example, though Memento Mori isn't really CT related, but still.

Music Store to download the songs we use in our challenges. People will like that.
Hey Kayorei, You forgot Greenie's Comic.

That ain't gonna happen. It would take too much bandwith offering music to download.
Also, I dunno about legal problems with offering music on a page.

I like the video idea, though it'd work better if we uploaded videos on the site, and since that's not going to happen, it'd require almost... daily updates. @_@

Well, if you want to have the 3 most current videos of ALL challenge takers, then you probably will have to check every hour.

Well, there could be X times daily updates in that respect, though that would mean we'd have to raise the number from three-ish to something like ten. Having them in link format instead of putting the video straight in wouldn't hurt.
Putting the videos straight on the site could be one thing, but it'd be a massive bandwidth hog. Though it does bring up the idea of allowing downloads of entire challenge archives in .ZIP format...
But allowing anything for download is just asking for bandwidth trouble.

Well, we can link it to our stations radio cast, and I can see about getting some attention brought to CT myself. My skills are limited, but I am good at what I can do such as spreading word. I'm sure we can help repopulate the challenge lists.

Well, I can think of some questions to go on the FAQ, which is definitely a good idea. There's probably a way out there to have links to the CT's accounts so that the newest videos show up automatically (like YT does with subscriptions), but how to do so is beyond me. I'm also not quite sure which thread to post this in, so: I originally intended for the CT website I had in mind to be a solo effort as I've made several websites in the past. Making the site a group effort and pooling our respective talents, though, is a pretty good idea since it concerns all of us. I'm afraid "too many cooks spoil the broth" would come into play, though, as there is definitely room for conflict (I prefer hard coding to "webpage builders" when it comes to putting a site together, for example). Hard coding, you say? I can help out with some of that when the time comes. |

Doing that from within the origin site is quite possible, and maybe even easy if you know the language. In order to link to people's accounts for updates (as was described) on another site, however, you'd need to tap into the other site's system somehow. Unless, of course, I'm mistaken. It'd be nice if we could have such a convenience, though. |

I'd suggest trying to embed the videos, but that would be too painful bandwidth-wise... |

May I suggest that whoever will create the Website starts to create it BEFORE the CT Tournament starts so tht we can put the tournament summaries there?

I think so... Tournament starts within a 2-3 weeks? And making a GOOD website isn't a thing that can be done within one-two days.
*I couldn't resist to quote him.*
