Graal Server Information

[Gunderak]

Probably in the wrong place, but oh well.

What is it?

I have written a website in PHP to allow all server owners and all developers to view servers that need developers.
The owners can submit their servers and any developers can view them.
It can be found at http://graalservers.zxq.net/ once there click the logo to begin.

How is this helpful?

Well, instead of seeing the usual "Only staff can login to this server" you now have an easier way to apply to help develop servers.

What is in the making?

Well as there is no current way to check if the user submitting the server is the actual owner, I will have to think up a way around this problem.
But I am entrusting that the Graal community has enough maturity to not abuse this.

I do plan on implementing an IP ban system.
Anyone blacklisted will not be able to submit a server.
This will be for anyone who abuses the service.

I might even implement a "Star" system.
Servers with a "Star" next to them could possibly be the verified real servers.

An iDevice version maybe?

Nicely set out. A pretty unique idea but I think that hiring should be left for the server owners. Good job though!

Very nice. Maybe you should put that into the hirings section

Hehe thanks, I have updated my OP since you posted that

Update:
I will change the background color tomorrow so that text is easier to read.
I cannot do it now as I am on my iPhone and apple doesn't allow FTP...

As much as it is an interesting idea, I don't really know what it buys the community that the forums aren't already capable of (and already used much more often for, and already provides better verification of server ownership).

Looks awful and no one is going to seriously use it.

If you're trying to make a successful graal web service you have to put a lot more polish into it before you even attempt to get it out there. It also has to serve a unique purpose or be much more innovative.

Woo time wasted.

Quite sure you've learned something while creating it. So nope, no time wasted.

fowlplay hit it on the nail.

If anything, it'd be interesting to convert it into a Hiring Board, example.

Classic Servers
UN: Hiring! - What's for Hire? NATs and GFX (Presumably to make more hats and pretty toys)
Hosted Servers
Maloria: Hiring! - What's for Hire? A little bit of everything
Under Construction Servers
-Some UC Servers Here- -Hiring- What's for Hire? Everything, All the time.

But... Make it rather organized and not too gimmicky (The whole breakdown menu bit was rather unnecessary as basically being used on the whole site, at least until after you have a list of servers come up would it seem appropriate for some accessibility.)

I have had an idea so that when you mouse over on a server it will display the information about it.
I shall have a crack at that.
