[QUOTE="Peterson, post: 2536892, member: 21431"] I'm jumping in late, and truth be told, I tried to skip over the parts I thought were just snipes at people.....even if some of the ones I did read were amusing. :p Ahem. Anyway, has anyone actually suggested this idea? A membership-based website (membership determined by an annual, low fee) that offers access to OGC of either a single, group, or of ALL publishers found on the world wide web? Technically, one [I]could [/I] be getting the best of both worlds - members have to "pay to see/search/use" (with the proceeds being split up somehow, determined by someone much smarter than myself), but those who want their OGC organized - and searchable - in one place, have access to it. Shoot, you could even create a set of parameters that require the original author's (if there is such a thing) permission to access the blasted mechanic. Now, before you all start blasting holes into what I just suggested, please realize this: ([I]start Closed Content[/I]) This idea I presented - which may or may not have been presented previously, but if was presented previously, was in no way presented in such the manner as I have presently presented it here - has not been researched for effectiveness, been seriously considered for viability, nor intends to be the "solve-all" solution. It is merely one person's - namely Jeremy Peterson's - quick, almost randomly-generated idea based on what little he has found time to read on this rather interesting topic. ([I]end Closed Content[/I] ;) ) Oh, and in case you're all wondering...a Great Axe does [S]1D12[/S] damage. Its okay to say that, cause its OGC, right? :heh: I think that, if I was on a high horse, or a soap box, I'll step down now. If I wasn't, well....let me maintain my illusion for another 1D4 rounds. Thanks. Peterson (not looking to get banned, just trying to be funny...banned is funny, though. Not "Heh Heh" funny, but more like "Ha Ha, you fool" funny.....shutting up now.) [/QUOTE]
