The Knightmare.com site is unofficial, can it become official? I mean, Tim Child uses the forums and websites (I think...) ...and after all it is www.knightmare.com

It's officially unofficial - and that's official!

I think the site is good as it is. If it were to become official then there could be some censorship issues and it could be made difficult for Illusion to maintain it.

There would even be a chance that if someone picks up the rights to Knightmare VR then they could want to see the official site shut down so as they could start their own.

I would leave it as it is, independant but supported by the show's creator. What more do you want?

I suppose it can be classified as...
"The official unofficial Knightmare website" :P

An official site generally implies it is connected to the company responsible for it (Knightmare) which would be Televirtual, which it is not.

For example a site I have designed & maintain for a local football club (avoiding a blatent plug) is the official site because it is owned by the football club.

I think it's quite knice the way it is - unofficial but with some official input. At least keeping it unofficial probably gives you more flexibility.

To be on the safe side I did write to Tim before I set up this site just to check it would be okay, and he did not have any objections.

It's the best kind of site, unofficial ones with some official input. There's much more flexibility for speculation and chat on them.

Just thinking about that official Knightmare 'website' makes me shudder...
