I will be glad when I don't have to cross-post topics like this...
I've been in email conversation with the soon to be new owner of Detnet. He seems to be a really cool guy who is very excited about taking over detonate.net.
He's also an admitted n00b when it comes to running a Web site. He needs content and technical assistance.
What better people to provide these things than us? We helped cr0bar build the original detnet; we can do the same for this guy. Post here and let him know what you have to offer.
I've been advising him on some technical details. The most important one so far is to transfer the domain to a registrar like Dotster that can provide DNS for the domain. That way he doesn't have to even worry about running forums on his box; all he has to do is point forums.detonate.net at whatever server ends up running the forums and forget about it; the forum admins will take it from there.
Ditto with email - just make an MX record, point it to mail.detonate.net, and whoever is in charge of running the mail server will make sure it works.
I'd like to ask all programmers to email me, jon@lunewax.net, and let me know what you'd be willing to do to help with the cutover...

Count me in on graphics. I did a bunch for cr0 back in the day, so I've got some experience with that and even some unreleased detnet backgrounds and such that never quite made it onto the site.

Graphics, HTML, PHP, MySQL... I can do lot's of server stuff. I could host DNS records, or small sites, but they might go rather slowly (my server's on co-location on a dual t1)... Well, I can help pretty much anywhere, back or front end. Just ask.

DNS hosting is best left to the big boys, but everything else is good.
Content creation is good. MySQL is good. Using MySQL to manage content creation is awesome.
"Hmm. This page says it needs the stylesheets cleaned up. That would be a cool thing to try..."
"We need a funny drawing of a goat? No prob."
AskHeaves, you in on this? We could do with some serious network programming knowledge right about now...

Just... Point me at an ass, and I'll kick it.
I'm a java man mainly, but could probably learn a new discipline in a couple of hours.

for the forums... Let's just convert slate's mysql stuff from the new/old forums, stick them here. Have a group fund to build up a nice little webserver, which one of us can host (who's got a fast connection, and doesn't mind dropping the bandwidth?). Have the new owner of the domain the "leader" or something (can we say "FUND US!"  ), and we elect responsible people to handle each little part (forums, webmail, etc). Let's start a thread to nominate people for each, and then we'll take the top 4 and have a little poll or something. No nominating yourself, but if you make the top four go ahead and vote away 
Just an idea. No need to listen to me

Hmmmmmm, if you guys need me, I'd be willing to help...
I got an email from that kevin guys as well, but never replied.
As most of you know, running websites is what I do for a living. All Microsoft IIS boxes mind you, but on top of that my networking quals are through the roof.
So anyway, my email address is still jim@brewsandcues.com
Unfortunately though, after moving into my new house, I'm WITHOUT a broadband connection to the net. Hopefully ATT will get thier heads removed from their asses ASAP, and hook me the fuck up!
Later.

This guy is planning to spend $1k+ on a website's domain and he doesn't know anything about running one? This should prove interesting...
ps - I'd love to help. Graphics, or some such stuff.
pps - Richard, why the #### is your avatar in flash? Just curious. Oh, and for a "graphics guy," your border is a bit off... ;)
edit - never mind about the flash part; i had my speakers off.

ffs turn off censoring! fuck! shit! ####! ####! #######! AHH!!!!!
I am good for logistical support on technical issues. i.e. watching the bigger picture and figuring out how to get things done. You know, like ::shudder:: management.
Right now I'm thinking we get all these things set up, and when the new guy is ready to go live we can just say "Put the following entries in DNS and you've got a lot of your site." We can take the technical stuff; let him focus on content.
We'll want a mail server. That will require a moderate amount of bandwidth (some roadrunner users can do 384K up; that should handle it fine). The server itself doesn't need to be much. I have about 20 ppl running off an old Cyrix 200 and it barely even shows a load. What *is* important is that the server is exceedingly stable - I have my CPU *underclocked* to keep it running nice and cool.
The mail server doesn't necessarily need to run Webmail. It just needs to provide POP3 and IMAP. Webmail can run on the main Web server.
So who wants that project? You'll get to learn how to configure a real mail server. They're fun
