[CerIs]

i was wondering what it would take to allow people to play multiplayer games on my site. Not game like quake or half life, board games like checkers, chess etc. Would i need server etc? i dont know

Well, there are two types of multiplayer sites with mostly board games: web based like http://gameknot.com or Java based like http://games.yahoo.com. First kind is better for people who like to think before they make a move, Java ones are usually real-time, that means you need to finish the game in one seating. But in both cases you definitely need at least a server. http://geekvillage.com/ubb/smile.gif A good programmer or two and a web-designer wouldn't hurt also. http://geekvillage.com/ubb/smile.gif
