came up with a couple ideas while reading the current posts.

1) Jay asked what content would keep 'you' coming back on a daily basis. The first thing i though of is the variety of Web based comics out there an how those are pretty much the sites i visit daily. So maybe a Star Wars, or Sci-Fi based comic. Could either be a running story or maybe a satirical comedy poking fun at various aspects of different sci-fi shows. If you've seen Penny Arcade i guess im thinking of a Sci-Fi version of that (they deal in mainly gaming). We would need an artist/writer to volunteer for that.

2) Bossk's comments triggered the idea of maybe movie review. Dayv currently has a thread in the Off-Topic section with his dvd reviews. Maybe he would be willing to write a DVD review column for the page (not trying to volunteer him, just he seems like the best suited for the job)

3) I like the idea of giving people a forum to post their work and get the opinions of others

4) I'd also contribute content wise, but id probably be able to better help with any development projects (im a programmer)

5) this kind of relates back to 1, but a lot of these web comic places sell original artwork and apparel with their characters. Maybe sell some limited original prints. this would work well if there were comic characters behind them

6) Like Bossk said, we seem to have a lot of people with various connections here, so maybe we can give some 'breaking news' type info (upcoming dvds for instance) or also have sections with 'help' guides...I realize doom9 probably does a better job. But we could very easily have people write articles (subjective or objective) about the merits of the new emerging formats (blu-ray & hd-dvd) and stuff along those lines
