Personally I would not mind terribly if the site was or was not named taccoms (although I'd prefer it was) as long as there is a place to find the latest documents. I only started epic a few moths ago and nearly gave up as I was presented with various codexs, rule books, compendiums, handbooks etc. from a myriad of sites, some obviously pur of date. Only a very old bols article, then advice from the forum kept me going. I'm still not convinced I have the latest version of the compendium.
I would love to just go somewhere and see what the different types of epic are, what the differences between them are and what the latest documents for each are. If that comes under the taccoms banner and looks pretty all the better, as long as it exists.
Maybe a taccoms site that explains what NetEA, Epic UK, NetEPIC, Epic Armageddon are, then links to the appropriate sites, with NetEA linking to another page on the Taccoms site explaining exactly what it is and what documents to use.
Personally I'd also like to have a unit wiki to contribute to and find obscure units that I don't know from 40k.
Well, much of what you are describing is the goal for the project, no matter where it is or what it is called. If there is a seperate site, this would deal with EA/NetEA only, and articles here would compare the differences, etc. And, as noted, we did attempt a wiki but it was underused. I am not going to say that we will never give it another attempt, but it will need to be thought through.

well, at least part of it is the need for redundancy - You've done a huge amount of work for the community CS, and if you got hit by a bus tomorrow I assume you'd like to see it continue...
That's how it is then.... Good to know I would be missed.

I'd say acquire
http://www.epicarmageddon.net, throw up Kyrt's site at it, and worry about perfection later.
I'd recommend a URL with epicarmageddon in it over one with simply netea. Another option might be to buy
http://www.netepic.com and offer to trade with
http://www.epicarmageddon.com.
Anyway:
It doesn't need to be complicated. It needs to be easily found, accessible to newbies, and to have the most current versions of files (and, ideally, have it be possible for several people to replace those files if necessary, so if someone goes AWOL or is busy they can still be updated promptly.
Well, where-ever this resource is, I am afraid that we cannot have trademark terms in the URL/address. If this is going to be set up for the future, and gain a reputation for being ground zero for EA, we need to make sure that we don't end up in the same situation as
www.talkbloodbowl.net. Putting 'Epic Armageddon' in the URL will result in GW demanding that we remove it at some point in the future. We can use something more generic like 'www.netarmageddon.com'.

yeah this is my preferred setup for reasons already stated better by others.
Thanks. While this thread appears to show unanimous support for a seperate site, there is a low response rate compared to the forum population and I want to make sure that everyone is in agreement and any concerns are picked up.
