myFANSITE; Would you?

[Jackk,]

Dear all,

After numerous hours of thinking about this idea, if I was to make a platform where you could showcase your fansite and having a voting system etc and each month the winner would gain a prize. Would you do it?

[scottish]

Wasn't there recently a team fansite or something, did it just die?

[despect]

I'm pretty sure this was already a thing that @Jazzy; & @Jamez; made called team fansites and I don't think its a thing anymore, not sure what happened there but yeah it's been done before.

@scottish; beat me to it, but yeah don't think it's even a thing anymore.

teamfansites was more a support network for official and unofficial sites than a voting system, we bridged away from the voting system on the basis that it would cause basically fansite drama, and salt. Also a few fansites didn't want to involve themselves with us on the basis that we ourselves weren't official and they didn't mix with unofficials regardless of the circumstance. Hence why we decided to not put ourselves out for these sites but felt unfair to not include all the sites, even if they didn't want our help. It was a good idea (our twitter interaction) and it did prove successful and we did branch out and supported quite a few unofficial fansites but the forum site wasn't as good. I wouldn't personally use a voting website, it would be similar to retro voting and I think would be abused by big sites in order to win prizes so wouldn't be a fair game for the smaller or unofficals but good luck!

I feel it would be a waste of time and money for the person trying to maintain it.
But if it does go through, hopefully the person is willing to stick through it as we have seen many things like fansites, etc. With such motivation for out and just close.

Nope, there isn't any need for it. Might have worked back in the day but certainly not now.

I think something like this has been done before. Just didnt seem to work

Probably not, fansites just don't draw in the amount of users as they use to!

Depends really on what the fansite is doing to draw in users

Doesn't sound half bad. Maybe try making help for people wanting to start their own fansite too.
