A website about programming - programming nation

Poemon1_REMIX

This is a collab, but I thought it would fit better here, since the collaboration forums are for Scratch collabs.

Anyway, if you want to learn programming, or even a new programming language, you can make some recommendations or ask questions on the forums page. There will also be a page for credits (anybody who helps in coding the website,) and a FAQ page (for those who asked questions). Anybody who gets their username on that page gets to be a moderator on the forums! Anybody who helps more than 4 times gets to be an Admin. The rules for the Java category:

no offtopic posts. 
if you are posting something you created, then make sure you add send the main Admin (me) or my best friend irl (kungfuboi1211, he will make a Scratch account later.) a media fire link to the program. We will download it, and see if it's safe. Then we will add a link to the download so it can be direct, and not a external link. 
If you are below the age of 13, and want to learn programming, your email is not needed, although it is preferred. You cannot share your email with other members on my site for security purposes. There will be no personal messages.
Basically, it must have the same rules as Scratch, or I don't think I can post the link without it being removed.

Could somebody turn that into a link for me, and post it.
They will be my first moderator!
I can't turn it into a link, I'm still a new scratcher.

You don't need to quote the whole post. o.O
Just right @ then your answer. Saves time and space.

Poemon1_REMIX

@ssss
ok.

ssss

FAQ Questions
1. Which programming languages are you planning on using in this project? (For tutorials etc etc)
2. Why have you embarked upon this project?
3. What will make this different from other, similar sites?

Also, there is a similar site here, so you will want to consider what you can do to make yours better.

@ssss
1) Well, I will be using requests so I know what language the members would like to learn. Also, I will add two of my favorites: Java, and Python.
2) Hard question. You see, my friends (irl) want to make their own games, like my game I'm making. I just told them ‘It takes a knowledge in computer programming,’ and I also told them I'd make a website.
3) Wow, haven't thought about that one, yet. Probably the ability to request your game and a screenshot to be frontpaged (like the featured section on Scratch).

Also, this is more like an interview XD
But it's OK, I like interviews.

ssss

Will you be adding variants of C, or only 1 variant such as C++ ?

Will other programs be featured as well, such as Google Chrome Extensions or Minecraft Mods, not only games?

I'm helping you

I got to do my online school. Be right back.
1) variants of C
2) No Google Chrome extensions
3) Yes, but I cant test Mods, since I don't have minecraft. But you can use minetest, a similar free game and then I can test extensions.
Ok, you will be our #1 FAQ contributor! How would you like to be a moderator (when I get the site actually running)?

ssss

Sure, I'm down with that.
Okay, that's nice that it's variants of C.

Why won't Google chrome extensions be featured?

@3. Fair enough.

ssss

Also;

What forum software will you be using? What measure are you taking to prevent spam. How many admins and moderators are you going to have? Is it a free project? Will you charge for extra features? If you did charge, would it be subscription based or one off payments? Will members be given any storage space?

These are questions I would like answered. You can organise the FAQ once all the questions are answered.

http://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/4989/
http://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/4624/

Making sure you know all the stuff.

I will be (if it's possible) making my own forum in PHP, and not using any precompiled software.. If it's not possible, could you recommend some?

I will basically have three methods to prevent spam -
Image validation,
A 30 sec rule (ugh, the 60 sec rule is annoying, but a 30 sec rule would be better.)
and a report as spam button, like youtube has.

I know I shouldn't have a lot of admins/moderators to start with, but when there becomes more traffic, we will have a few more mods, and more traffic, more and so on.

No, you will not have to pay. It's going to be hosted on 000webhost (and it already is hosted), so members don't have to pay. I'm not that cheap

I also don't want people to pay for education.

Yes, members will be given storage space, just have to figure out how much.

OK, thanks!

Alright, yes, making your own forum is possible. Just more time.

Fair enough about the spam validation methods.

The worry I have is 000webhost has a lot of problems.

And the storage is minimal as well. You will eventually need to use a paid host if it gets popular.

I have, in my possession, a VPS with 3gb ram, 60gb storage, and 3TB bandwidth/mo.
