So, have been thinking about this more and how to make this idea feasible (easy to begin, scaleable)... current thought:

(1) Create a nice SciFi Environment like one in the example Unity assets.

(2) Interface the forum database to pull the avatars for each active user into the environment and have those avatars "hanging out" near a common object in the scene that represents the location of their last activity.

(3) Interface the forum database to pull the avatars for each active guest user that might be a bot into the environment and have those avatars "hanging out" in a room where we can easily see the amount of "hits" (activity).

(4) Added an embedded web browser object into the scene where users could browser the forums using the browser, or even simulate what others are browsing (posts, threads) using an embedded browser in the SciFi environment.

(5) Add a mod room that shows basic stats on newly registered users with a spam risk score and the ability to shoot them with some cool space cannon that automatically updated the backend db and bands these users.

Any more ideas?

If not, this might be the initial base line for a future front end app for the forums.

Note: I think I may move this thread out of the UG so we can get input from more members or members who are more interested in virtual worlds, etc.

hman

hman(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   hman(1)

NAME

       hman - browse the on-line manual pages

SYNOPSIS

       hman [ -P browser ] [ -H host ] [ section ] name
       hman [ -P browser ] [ -H host ] [ section ] [ index ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  hman  script is an interface to man2html(1) that allows you to enter man page requests at the command line and view the output in your
       favourite browser.  The behaviour reminds of that of man(1) so that many people will be able to alias hman to man.  If the browser used	is
       netscape, and an incarnation of netscape is running already, hman will pass the request to the existing browser.

OPTIONS

       -P  browser
	      Specify  which  browser  (like  lynx, xmosaic, arena, chimera, netscape, amaya, ...) to use.  This option overrides the MANHTMLPAGER
	      environment variable.  The default is the non-httpd version of lynx, or sensible-browser if lynx cannot be found.

       -H  host
	      Specify from what host to get the man pages.  This option overrides the MANHTMLHOST environment variable.  The default is localhost.

ENVIRONMENT

       MANHTMLPAGER
	      The default browser to use is selected using this environment variable.

       MANHTMLHOST
	      The default host to use is selected using this environment variable.
