Let's do this. Tell me what it should be, what it should look like, what the name is, etc. I'll foot the bill for hosting it and registering the name, as long as the name doesn't cost more than $50.

EDIT: $50 for the name. I'll host it myself.

Let's build a website dedicated to yoga pants. Yoga pants in the wild, that is - meaning no posting pictures of girls taking pictures of themselves with yoga pants on or them posing for others. Has to be a totally natural pic.

Let's call it yogapantsinthewild.com.

I'm not going to lie, this was 100% my first legitimate thought. If others are on board, I'll build it.

 
I'm on board with yoga pants. Whatever you do though, make absolutely sure that it has a functioning search engine. *cough cough*

 
Gambling website where people place bets against each other.

Two sections. 1, you can create a bet and people can choose to accept. 2, you can search and choose for other peoples bets to accept.

Anything can be bet on. Anything. Any disputes handled by the webmaster.

Better than my suggestion of dumponchest.com which was nothing but steaming dumps on chests

Why not just a website where we all get to bet against LHUCKS? Once his account reaches zero he has to agree to be your butler for a week?

I totally forgot about this.  Gonna start this weekend on building a website dedicated to yoga pants.  You'll all be invited to join and submit your favorites.  Unless we want to build a website focused on something else.

I think I might need some FBG legal advice to ensure that everything is kosher.

Can you point me in the right direction to building a site; best host & domain for the price and who has a good interface to get everything rolling?  I know a fair amount about computers, but, haven't ever built a website. 

 
A website that automatically generates a thread on a random topic every 10 seconds so old rich men that try to pretend they are cool have something to complain about 24/7

Serious question; if your building and hosting a site through a service like godaddy for example they want to charge you a monthly fee for web builder software. Is that because you'll need that software anytime you change something on your website?  What's a cheap easy solution for this?  Is there software you can buy and not "rent"?

There are a lot of content management systems out there that'll let you easily and quickly build a website.  I'm a fan of Wordpress and use it regularly, but there's also Drupal, Java, Joomla, Squarespace, Wix, etc.  The former 3 provide a lot more granularity for your site, although can be rather complex for someone unfamiliar with web development, while the latter 2 are designed to be extremely easy, but with low customization and optimization.

All that being said, it really depends on what you want to do with the site.  If you are doing something that requires little in the way of features and functionality (e.g. creating content and structuring that into pages) and want to get started quickly and easily, I'd suggest taking a look at the latter two (or similar services).  If you need a site that can do more than that and you don't mind trying to learn a little about the nuts and bolts of web development, I'd suggest one of the latter three (actually I'd suggest Wordpress over those three).

if you decide to give a shot at something like Wordpress, you need someone or something that can host a Wordpress installation - a Linux or windows web server stack.  I like GoDaddy, and have used many others hosts, but have always gone back to GoDaddy (I host myself now, though).  You could do that, but I'd recommend starting with a web server emulation software that you can run right on your home windows machine (assuming you have windows and not Mac or something else).  One such software is called Ampps that I'd recommend checking out.

Let me know if you have any other questions.  There are some other developers here too that might chime in - I think @Abraham is one.
