[QUOTE="SamSpectre, post: 254119, member: 5929"] [b]Open Gaming Database[/b] Has anyone produced a website similar to the Netbooks where submitted data could be stored in a database format? Data could be entered from published sources (that are permitted) or from people's home campaigns. There could be a monster, magic item, spell, etc. database that would be searchable. I'm not sure how quality control would work, but that wouldn't be too hard to implement I wouldn't think. Just toggle everything as un-reviewed that is submitted (by various forms) until it IS reviewed and graded. When searching the databases you could specify whether you'd like to search across everything, just un-reviewed stuff, or just reviewed stuff. Crap could be deleted by adminstrators. Each entry would include a reference to the material it is from (if it is from published material) and everything should be tied to the submitter in case people submit things that they shouldn't, the adminstrators would know who they are (theoretically); or at least be able to give the sleighted companies info on the person so that they could do something. But all of this is administrative, planning-type-stuff. Do people think a database site would be useful, or just a waste of coding. Would this be useful? (Has this already been proposed?)
