I was wondering what ATOT members think of my idea?

I am considering creating and hosting an Official AnandTech Recipe Site. With the help of my fellow AT members submitting recipes, I am sure I will get a good amount to post.

For right now I am just curious to see if there is enough popular support for my idea. If so, I will then ask for recipe submissions.

Just don't expect the world's greatest site, as I lack l337 w3b creation skills. ;)

I think that would be something nice. I can help out with the design if you'd like, but I need to know how much you know so I can make the editing part accordingly if you're interested.

We would also need someone who has the time and skill to write cgi scripts so we can monitor which is most popular or most liked. Realistically, it won't be all that useful.

If you don't like the idea just say so. There is no need to insult me.

don't mind the trolls. AT's AOL filter must have been down.

honestly i was joking. My form of sarcasm does not transfer well to the internet.
I enjoy cooking in all honesty but felt it necessary to afirm my manhood with an insult.

I know a fair amount about web design. I am just not the greatest at it. I might just use a template to help me out. I will use DreamWeaver MX for the site building.

on paper, good idea. In reality, stupid idea. You are going to get about 10 submissions and the site is going to look hideous. Next please.

Sounds good.

I will need recipes for both main dishes and desserts. My woman has lots of recipes too so I am not sure how many would be posted.

Maybe 50 or so for now.

So far it seems a positive thing. I will look into its design now.
