A new site I'm working on. http://www.nyrd.net I've just registered the domain and planned what I will use it for, havnt really gotten far yet as I havnt had much time on my hands. But what do you think about the concept, and the domain name? Also, if anyone wanna be part of the group of nerds building up the features listed, or have suggestions for other features, feel free to contact me by the email link on the page
Interesting idea and the domain name should be brandable. I would drop the 'Free @Nyrd.net e-mail forwarding' as it would be a fair bit of work and probably wouldn't be needed by many. You also need to sort out your hosting, the demographic you are targeting is notorious for not liking/clicking on adverts and to have a banner across the top of your page will be a major turn off.
Ok thanks for the tips, I will give the email forwarding a try though, shouldnt be too hard as I have unlimited email forwarding at my webhost, just need to make a way for users to add them, or else I will just have to add them manually whenever someone wants one. And yes, its not the intention that this banner will stay, its just now as I have just gotten this domain and havnt upgraded my hosting yet. Its currently on a free server. I guess one of the first things I should get up is a forum so people can join for discussions
If you manage your website using cPanel there are some classes available for adding email accounts and I would assume email forwards over at phpclasses.org
