    How many local clubs are out there who could use a simple and easy to update website? I know MWC used to host a few that are now gone.

    I'm considering setting up a wordpress multisite system here which would allow me to provide a semi-managed (I take care of server side updates, you take care of content) wordpress site easily to local clubs in need. There would be by necessity some restrictions on disk usage - I don't have unlimited space. You could either subdomain from rcwarshipcombat.com - such as yournamehere.rcwarshipcombat.com or we could set up a domain name for the site.

    I would be providing this free of charge to any local groups that need a site, my only requirements would be that 1) you be some manner of viable warship combat group with a presence here and 2) you agree to some manner of link back to RCWC such as a 'hosted by RCWC' link in the footer or a 'Official Forums' link in the first level of the menu; along with the usual stipulations that you not use the site to host illegal content, spam people, etc.

    I don't have the details worked out yet, but if there is interest I will further explore it.

    I have the Port Polar Bear site on a flash drive that I'd like to get back on the web. I have the portpolarbear.com address, just need a server. It's 487mb, lots of photos. I could cut out the old photos, but also have lots of new photos I never put up.
