QtheC,

All your questions and thoughts are good ones. Right now the development team is working hard to launch the site and our focus is on finalizing all the features required for us to tell the story "LG15: The Resistance" and for users to have profiles and the basic features of a social network. We definitely want to do things along the lines of YouTube where there are user controlled and moderated show pages and forums for community shows (with tagging, search, AJAX, feeds, etc.), but at this stage it's beyond the scope of our initial launch. In the meantime, because we want to increase the profile of community shows at the time of launch, we are going to be doing some hard-coding as a stop-gap. Yup, this is a pain in the ass and inefficient. But, we do it because we love you guys and the shows you make and we want to make it easier for more people to watch them and participate. I don't know exactly what that will look like and I don't want to make promises I can't keep, but the bottom line is that we will have a more prominently feature list and/or section of community shows and those show links will take you "somewhere" to watch and talk about those community shows. Again, I don't know the details and it is definitely a stop-gap solution. So, all we want is a list of the currently active community shows so that we don't miss anyone when we hard-code this stuff. If you want to provide more information (like trainer asked for), then that will help us if we decide to use some organizational system for the community shows (grouping them according to what universe they are in or something). Again, nice but not necessary.

Thanks.

Miles
