When writing some books on my booksystem I thought up an idea. What about having a website made in byond that could go threw a database of the books in the game. So you could read the books from the game and write some too and not even need to be in the game. What you people think about that?

One, having the game running perpetually so the website can poll the game and gather a list of all books there are. Books would be stored on the game server.
Two, having the books stored on the webserver, and having the game poll the webserver to determine what books are available.
(There is a third option, but it's only possible if you have Dantom.HostServer running on the game server; having the books stored on the game server, and having the website automatically start up the game to poll for the list of books.)
In all of these cases, you'd need to have a webserver with BYOND CGI available. In addition, the game server and the webserver would need to be up at the same time (and, currently, only Dantom's machine is up almost perpetually).
