have a moment TL readers?

past several weeks i've been thinking about some ideas for the community.

i'm thinking about awarding or trading a Starcraft 2 Beta Key if i luck out and win, earn, buy, trade, and receive any beta keys.

what would sites do for a beta key?

what kind of contest would merit a beta key award?

btw - i am not with blizzard.

All fansites will get a number of keys - some for their staff, and some to give out in contests. You could do your own, I suppose. But I doubt you can get more than a couple keys.

Isn't there a post/thread that doesn't permit members to sell or trade their CD Keys? Maybe I am wrong, but I'm pretty sure it starts a lot of arguing and flaming and stuff the mods don't allow.

You do know that you can register the beta-keys now, right?

what is beta key registration?

btw - this next part is a big comment on my fansite. skip it if you aren't interested.

well, i'm trying to get my fansite up but it's taking forever.

any suggestions on what the community needs that isn't already there?

as far as i know,
teamliquid - scene news, community, replays
sclegacy - the grandfather of sc sites
sc2armory - pretty decent starcraft 2 site focused on technical details of units

are there other sites that are prominent in the community? i don't want to repeat their services, i want my site, as everyone does, to have a focus that is unique to it that also contributes to the community.

learning php and figuring out how to get the php customized so it can have a front page and article pages, etc is really time consuming. i guess if i were a high schooler and into web programming this would be fast.

you should make a site for something you feel needs to exist. dont just go make 1 for the sake of making one

this isn't really related to my original question about beta keys. kinda getting into another topic (my site). so for those of you reading about beta keys, please skip this section.

well let's look at the options.

replay sites - plenty of those, community has good sources of replays.
strategy sites - real lack of these, could definitely use some with starcraft 2.
clan sites - teamliquid, dozens of smaller clans, plenty of these
scene news - teamliquid, several others
tournament sites - WCG, ICCUP, probably few more

community sites - sites that support the community in general. where can i find replay sites, where can i find strategy guides, how do i get involved in tournaments, and other community functions.

that's generally what my site is aiming for at this point.

main issue - getting it coded and content added.
