Well, the topic. Maybe ArmorGames can make its own radio, (Accessed by Internet of course) which can be heard by anyone.
How will this work?
When someone enters the site,not necessarily a member, in almost every page, there will be a link, which will say: click here to be connected with the radio. Then the user turns on his speakers and listens. What will this radio play?
It can play anything. From music to announcing Ag's problems.
Will there be any schedule for it?
Of course. In the link there will also be a timetable, stating what is on every hour.
Will it be based somewhere?
Sure. Maybe AG can rent a building for this or base it on the administration building or something.
Who will be responsible?
Maybe Daniel Mc Neely, Carlie, or generally an administrator or moderator or even all the administrators decide together or...anything, i don't know.
Who will choose the programs that will be on?
For this there can be 2 solutions.
1: A new category can be made in AG where in the thread users decide what can be on, or generally suggest and the one who is responsible decides from the best suggestions. Suggestions can be ANYTHING that can be played.
2: The person who is responsible solely decides for this.
How will it be funded if we rent a building?
Maybe users can, IF THEY VOLUNTEER pay a certain amount of money and "mail" it to the AG. These money will also go to the site maintenance. In return, these users will enjoy some more luxuries like, they will be able to choose the programs that can be played or they will have their own category accessible only by them.
Generally this is the idea. It can even have entertainment hours where maybe music like rock or pop, will be on. If there is any technical problem, i believe it can be solved.
That's right but if Crimson is right about Pandora, then we don't want to put AG into legal trouble.
Actually making their own music would not get them into any legal trouble that I am aware of since they would/should be the legal copyright owners of any 100% original songs that they make themselves, but thats not the problem that I had with his idea. I actually already stated it though:
As for other suggestions AG is a company based on one thing, and that is games. They are not a music company of any sort, and we don't need some sort of audio portal like what Newgrounds has.
We don't only want music, we want interviews with developers, and the moderators and admins and information on the site, it won't be live, just like mortal kombat did with mkast, some episodes
And facebook is a communication site but it also has games and its chat sucks. Of course Armor Games is not such a huge site but if it is able why not?
Well, I think it is going to be impossible for AG to make their own radio station officially.
Correct?
But I think it will be possible to do an unofficial one.
Hmmm. You are thinking now?
What you could do is if you have ever seen a radio station you see that it isn't the same people every time 24/7 they of course need sleep. What you could do is communicate via skype or something. No need to rent out a building and just record the conversation with a bad recorder. That way, if the conversation is...uh... a bit offensive someone who would own the unofficial AG radio would say. Yes or no. If yes it goes to the radio. If no trash. The radio could also interview people by skype, email, etc and then the people who are in the studio repeat what was in the interview if it was by email and just show the recording if not. Opinions would be optional but an idea I had was instead of calling it would be emailing. There will be a special email set up and the next time they record they will answer questions and such.
What I am thinking? This will be abandoned. Why? No music. What are you going to do? Make a remix? I didn't think so.
Now I will develop a bit more into this as I go deeper through the subject.
It isn't live. Now I know you are thinking, WAHHHH?
It isn't a radio station all together.
Instead not to bore people with talking there will be a blog where all users post their recordings than anyone who wants can listen to it and ask questions via email and that.
That way. Instead of having a hard time trying to give people fun stuff for an hour when they only have 2 minutes of talking they just post it on the blog and anyone can listen to it. If that happened it could possibly official. Although I doubt it.
Thing is, you haven't just suggested an idea, but also how it should be organized. While you might have meant it as 'help to the admins' it also gives you a pompous appearance.
So you're suggesting a sort of radio to broadcast ideas about AG? Why is the forum/news/blog not good enough for this? I just to want to hear why you want this implemented, as you didn't state that in the original post.
Well Actually the IGN idea from page 2 might work. I have a few friends that are a high rank in IGN :P He could pull a few strings to make the donation happen!
