Hey all. Some time ago, I registered this domain ( obviously) in order to do a fansite about gog.com. The initial goal was to add value to gog.com by extending the available services with unofficial ones (like it has been done with [url=http://www.gog.com/forum/general/gog_suggestion_list/page1]this wishlist - it's offline now). However, with gog adding many features in its official website (here), I've ran out of ideas about the possible content for fangog.com.

So, here is the point: the domain will expire in approximately one month. Does anyone have interesting ideas we could implement there? Or should I just give up?

Thanks!
Let's make the site a marketing pitch to LucasArts.

;)
Well, Xyem was talking earlier about setting up a secure trading site for GOG games. Perhaps that could be done with this domain?

That could be interesting, but is it possible to give games you already own?

Or make it in order to attempt to convince EA to release ALL of Westwood Studio's games.

Only when you bought them as a gift and then you cannot use them for yourself.

The gogwiki adds some extra value to GOG but apart from this I don't have any good ideas for fan sites for GOG.

Yes! It's the perfect plan.

A very good way to make sure that the website is successful.

Perhaps there could be a social networking aspect to the site as well...

Two spelling errors!
It's not Fan Gog, it's van Gogh!
No culture the kids have today, unbelievable...

PS: Maybe some of the polish gogers from the forum should visit gog headquarter and remove all knifes, just to be safe if someone of the blue man group get in a sad mood.

I wasn't aware of this site. But that might be because I haven't checked gog since I wanted to do that fansite, almost one year ago...

Hey, glad to see someone got the pun ;) (It wasn't my idea, btw, but I like it)

Still, I don't get the second part. Maybe I lack knowledge about the blue man group...

Actually, at start, I (we?) wanted to do a unofficial client, like the one of steam, supporting chat, achievements, etc. But then we tried to reach gog to see if they liked the idea, and they politely answered that we could not use the API key, and that it was for internal usage only. So we didn't try to get any farther with that idea. Even if it's technically possible (and legally borderline), we don't want to annoy/harm gog in any way.

Now, about the social networking websites... Well, to me (and maybe some others), the whole idea behind a centralized resource (website) for social exchanges is PLAIN WRONG. Internet is a decentralized technology (in the sense that everyone is able to serve content to anyone), and I don't think we will gain anything from making it a centralized one, by far.

So to make a long story short, we considered the idea, and felt like it wasn't the good way to do it.

Still, we're open to ideas, and discussion. Especially during this month (given it won't cost me extra money to have the domain for this month). :)
