    What do you guys think? Website idea.

    Alright guys I kinda had a minor thought (oh god, here we go). Now I'm a web developer/designer and I always get minor ideas like this to make things easier or just to have something to do (yeah, I'm bored as hell and other projects are getting on my nerves).

    So the idea goes like this:

    A website for people to get good quality and size snus can photos to create a post for a forum, like for the "What's in your mouth?" thread. People would just choose their brand and presto, they get an image of the can and text if they decide. Also, I would allow people to use the images wherever they want. Want to post a can of snus on another board? Fine by me. I basically have a web hosting package with unlimited bandwidth that is unused right now and I also have enough free time (yep, unemployed) to throw something like this together pretty quickly. I'd possibly also have a simple image hosting area too for any other images you guys want to host and post (heh, it rhymes, that'll be the catch phrase!). I have strong abilities when it comes to web development, the interface will be very intuitive and quick - that's what I'm aiming for here, the ability to make a quick post such as in the thread I mentioned above. I'm also thinking of user's being able to save a template of sorts if they want, so it's even faster for someone to make the post they want. I would also be able to make a browser addon to make this kind of thing even faster.

    Also, post any ideas for a domain if you have any (www. [ domain ] .com/.org/.net, etc.). Try to be creative, I'd like it to be short and memorable so people don't have to jump through hoops to get to it.

    So take a minute here and let me know what you think. If you don't understand, post and I will try to elaborate. I'm basically just bored out of my skull and want a simple project to work on that I have interest in. I'm posting a poll to make it easy to get an idea of what people would think of something like this.

    I probably wouldn't use it, but it seems like it could be a useful tool.

      Nice, thanks man, I already started working on it a bit. Oh and that's the weatherman from Family Guy, his catch phrase is "It's gon' rain!". Close though, Eric.

            If I were you I'd create a snus blog/reviews/general-info site that has an images page. The image idea alone doesn't seem like it would attract too many folks...

              the hardest part about learning the how to use a computer or the internet is sorting thru all the redundancy. If there was only one way to preform an action on a computer or website it would be MUCH easier to learn. Of course, after you learn a bit the other options are easier to grasp, but still. With this idea....Google images beat you to it mate. With all the questions we get here on SnusOn no one has ever asked where to find a photo of any of the different snus tins.

              Do you have an alterior motive with your endeavor? I'm just wondering why you think this is something that anyone would actually use.

              Actually, we probably already have all the photos here on the site in the Whats in your mouth thread. Even tho, if I needed a photo I would still google the snus tin I was looking for. You never know what interesting shot or other objects might be included on google images. Not bashing you here, I'm just trying to imagine why you would bother. If I had free time I'd take a nap.

              There are already probably too many snus blog/reviews/general-info sites

              good luck
              Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





              I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

                I would have to agree with PP Here.... Only about this though: If I had free time I'd take a nap.....


                And I often do

                  If you could develop this idea into a Snus Reviews website with photos, then it would rock.

                    ummm.......we have a review section here. Just one of the many that exist online.

                    don't get me wrong...its nice that you have the free time and actually want to do something constructive while the Jerry Springer show isn't airing.

                    take a nap.

                      The review section here is sketchy at best. I'm talking about a comprehensive review website like http://www.tobaccoreviews.com is for pipe tobaccos.

                        true. Maybe he would like like to devote his time to help to bring snusons review section up to snuff. {pun intended]

                          Yeah, I agree with PP that there are way too many of those snus review/news/etc. sites. Thanks for questioning my idea so much guys, after a nice sleep I realize how terrible it was.

                            A picture site seems like a very small nice to me. If you want to expend some creative energy, how about a style sheet for SnusOn? I hate the default theme here. It's too bright, and I'm not a big fan of the colors. I hacked together a theme for Stylish, but it has a lot of bits that need fixing. I'm happy enough with it that I find it'd useable but it could use professional attention.

                            This is what I have. I darkened everything, replaced the logo with Greasemonkey, and got rid of an irritating grid in the status box by blocking gifs with Adblock+. That last one was a fortuitous accident :^D

                              I recall having this discussion when the site switched software. I still am of the opinion that a lighter background screen is best. My logic focuses on those of us that have visual disabilities that need a brighter screen. Additionally, a bright screen, marketing wise, is the industry standard. When is the last time you saw google, yahoo or any other major player with dark backgrounds?

                              As far as images go... I use photobucket. It only takes a few seconds to cut, paste and get the code.

                              Just my 2 cents.
