I have a dedicated server (400GB x2 w/ Softwar Raid) IRC Hosting Allowed and now I don't really know what to do with it?
I would like to start some sort of community site as I am unhappy with the existing services out there (Buzzen, Phreik, etc...); unfortunately I don't really have any programming skills and a full time job as a nursing student.
I am not to sure if this is the right thread to be posting this in; but, I would really like to see if anyone is interesting in helping me to set-up some sort of community site.
I was hoping to use UnrealIRCd with the MSN Chat OCX unless someone can help me create another one or recommend something equally as impressive. I have the server paid for 6 months so that I can see if this is going to work out or not.
I would really like to do something different; offer some very nice, quality services. I think using either Drupal or Joomla for the CMS and Backend due to its extensibility and flexibility.
Some of the services that I would like to include are:
•File & Image Hosting
•Chats
•Groups
•Forums
•E-Mail
I know this is probably a stretch; and forgive me if it is out of place; however, I think that if it were able to be done this forum would most likely have the experienced and qualified people to do this. I would most likely need people skilled in System Administration, SSH, Linux Setup & Configuration, IRC Administration, Web Programming & Design, PHP, and graphics/design professionals.
Please let me know if this is something that is manageable. I am not looking for criticism; however, helpful comments and constructive criticism would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Corey
