BeAScout.org is an awesome website for parents and boys. You want to join a unit you can get all the pertinant details right there at beascout.org at the Service Center when we have a parent come up that is interested in scouting we show them to the volunteer desk and show them beascout.org then they are able to email, call, or visit the unit of interest with their son.
As a gamer I would have to put in my own two cents... The main thing you want to look at is the game fun? Does it utilize the best graphics? What does the target market think of the game?
What about reaching out to companies like EA Games, Square Enix, Sony etc. with the idea and allow them to create the games. I believe EA Games would be best to create a sim like game since they own Maxis and they have they have matured gaming engines for this style of gaming. Then to bring in Square Enix to create an RPG based on scouting that would be awesome! Square Enix created one of the best RPG series ever, Final Fantasy...
I love the idea for a scouting based game, it just has be fun, with the right difficulty, and awesome graphics, and the gameplay must be there too you can't have a game with shotty controls!
I meant to take out disgruntled in front of volunteer. As I was going to use a more a drastic example and I chose something simpler and the word disgruntled remained.
The purpose to end a session after a period of inactivity is to prevent unauthorized access to the system. Be thankful that there is a timeout enabled. Could you imagine you walk away from your desk a disgruntled volunteer walks up to your workstation notices that you have Scoutnet open and goes on to lookup their information. Security violation there, if it timed out then the volunteer wouldn't be able to lookup the data and the information is still secure.
To answer the response about ports. As soon as the query is completed the port is then freed for another user to access it. Timeouts are for the above reasoning.
