Thanks for all the replies. For the most part, I agree. I just saw that the .su domain was still existent and thought it would be entertaining to get the thoughts of different folks regarding external forums, and maybe the concept of the .su domain in particular. Several people encouraged me to at least make a thread about it.
And Harus, I don't know who would have told you that, but in the ICMG now we don't say other people have really stupid ideas. We just <strike>say they're stupid people behind their backs</strike> give them ways to improve or flat-out say no. It could never hurt to have external resource hosting other than imageshack, potatobukkit, the wiki or the forums. I'd advise you to disregard such opinions in the future.
But ye, overall thanks for the constructive replies, guys. I can think of several uses for external sites, beyond even that of just forums, but it's important that they not grow too big - members will start concentrating on them over the Disco forums, which is never a good thing, or they'll end up as wastes of database space. Maintaining a balance is the key to successfully having fun and <strike>spreading communism</strike> setting a good example for others.
