Hi Dyyryath,
First I just want to say that I am VERY glad that Free-DC is around and I hope it doesn't go away. The services you are offering like hosting forums for DF and SoB have been very helpful and I think even contributed to a larger user base for those projects.
The fact that you have spent lots of time creating third party stats for other teams besides Free-DC is also been a great benefit to the DC community.
I normally crunch for Ars Technica but I like to check out the boards here because the people that hang out here are great. Like you said, there are lots of great DC people on many of the big teams and it would be a benefit if more people hung out here to help each other out or even just have fun.
The Slashdot news/interview idea for DC related projects I think is great idea. I'm sure you will find a number of people willing to post news items and interviews of various people in the DC community. I know I would help out with that.
If you have the resources to allow other smaller teams which can't set up their own boards to have their own customizable section which they can moderate then by all means offer that to people.
Even though I am not on a "Free-DC" team, I am still willing to help make the Free-DC site a great place for DC available to anyone who is interested.
Jeff.
