I thought the network was going to surround the various Madness sites currently set up. There's gonna be 4 soon (girlfriend wants a DOOM one).

yes there is, but i am talking about one in the network, but nothing to do with madness, or driver.
the more interesting sites out there the better we do with users.

I think I see what you're talking about. Do you mean that there are pretty much two networks?

Well, I wouldn't mind blogging and such, but as for DOOM Madness, I already got space for it, so can't do that.
But yeah, if you don't mind, I'll start a little blog for you to rule, but you will have to install the appropriate Wordpress script, please.

you would have to make a blog at least once a day, you will be responsible your advertising it and everything, including design and features
i dont want this to be some failed thing, but anyway, lets see if anyone else is interested first.

Sounds like a better idea. I can't keep a blog to save my life.

Must not've noticed. Anyway, good luck with that. I hope I can just stay within the Madness line. If you want, I can make an affiliates page on my site with links to other Madness sites.

So.. this will be something as a gaming blog, with a host given through Driver Madness, also with an a commercial idea in mind? Sounds cool

yes, but if you are interested you would have to make at least one post a day if everything permits, you would be in charge of marketing the website, design and add-ons in the blog.

Hmm this sounds rather cool but I'm already busy procrastinating with ravengames.com D; Not to mention I have no idea how to advertise it. Anyway good luck with it and my 2cents are:
have more than 1 newsposter/blogger. It will ease the load by having a duet. If possible even more. It also allows/forces people to come to a concensus, therefore not creating a fandome site or some site only the blogger would like. Finally, giving chance of people to be able to join and post maybe once or twice a week is better. You also get a broader spectrum of opinions which results in appeal to a larger audience which = more people reading your blog.
Though it takes time with these things to generate profit, you need a fanbase if you are looking for cash. best of luck. Personally I wouldn't mind posting one article a week, but can't commit to more. so if u do decide with the mutltiple poster idea I'd try to lend a hand.

Thank you, Galen!
Now, the story - yesterday older hosting went nuts with cutting everything that makes one host nice - disallowed file types, cutting down direct FTP manager. Except the huge place, but that`s just ridiculous.
Galen helped me like Batman. He offered me
this and I accepted. And it`s freaking nice! Coming soon in downloads, there will be hosted important Driver stuff, just like the textures I myself ripped down. They can be also in preview, since image hot-linking is allowed

Yes, I know. With 'ripped' textures I meant hosting
this and
this into the site, since this will make them easier to preview and upload. And if possible, they will be permanent here, as it`s hot stuff relating Driver and Driver 2 for PSX.
PS
For abandonware, Racing Madness cancelled offering abandonware games, since of these hosted on CGN.
