thebadplace (http://www.thebadplace.us)
I spent a little time over the past few weeks coming up with this - a successor to Deja-Review (http://www.deja-review.com). As of yet, I haven't had time to upload the content from Deja yet, but I should get around to it this weekend. It's not really ready to open to the general public, for lack of content, but I thought I would post it here to see if anybody was interested.
If anybody wants, I will continue accepting submissions to review and linkage for download to distribute to the community.
Just be kind to me; it's my first attempt at web building, so it's not near as fancy as Deja was, lol, but it works.
At anyrate, I hope this is of some service to mappers. If it's not, let me know what I can change. If you have any suggestions, I would be happy to take them into consideration. I'm already planning a much prettier V2 ;)

Thanks for the offer Tabun. Like I said, prettier V2 is in the planning stages right now. Mostly, I just need to get off my ass and learn how to use the tools that I have. Adobe rules, but geez... you just about need a college degree to use em right. Oh well...

eh.. ok ;) well asp is simply one way of doing dynamic webpages, eg i could make a map submission page or list all maps in database with their comments / review...deja-review is a dynamic webpage so is this message board :) other script languages: PHP, coldfusion, jsp...

Would MySQL work for that as well?

Hmm. Well, I should be able to make a mySQL database with myphpadmin (or was it phpmyadmin, lol), but I will still need a script for the page. How do you do that? Just insert the script on the page and then it takes care of everything? That would be nice...

well it's not really that easy cuz you need to know programming.

eg. this is a vbscript that writes certain values from a form to a database:

Code:

  strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblmessage ORDER BY ID"
  
  Set objRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
  objRS.Open strSQL,objConn,,adLockOptimistic
  
  objRS.AddNew
  objRS("strfrom") = Request.Form("from")
  objRS("strto") = Request.Form("to")
  objRS("strsubject") = Request.Form("subject")
  objRS("strmessage") = strText
  objRS("strdatum") = Date
  If Not tempid = "" Then
  objRS("strruserid") = tempid
  Else
  objRS("strruserid") = Request.Form("id")
  objRS("strdatum") = Date
  End IF
  objRS.Update
  objRS.Close
  Set objRS = Nothing

*note for some reason my tab's ain't working..
there are plenty scripting tutorials on the net, search for them and learn :)
