Retro Insomnia

Site Name: Retro Insomnia
URL: https://www.retroinsomnia.xyz/
Type: website (forum/blog)
Site Info:
A brand new community currently mostly centred around retro gaming, but we might offer discussions related to retro tech and media too. I'm just started this so don't expect too much activity yet - but I guess the premise is promising.

Excuse the .ga domain, I will pay for one if this actually gets off the ground, though am using a paid VPS.

Best of luck with your community !
I’ve sent over some FP$ so you could use a posting package to get some more content or another FP Service.

Never give up !

Cool site that you have going.. best of luck

 

[hazeldig]

Well that's pretty cool. At least people like the prospect.

Thinking of writing some proper content tomorrow though.

I was told one of the early paragraphs here was pretty well written, the same person said they didn't even realise I wrote it and thought it was a professional article 😛

Some good feedback and so you know what to expect ^^ just ask or PM me if you want to help out!

Also our discord launched https://discord.gg/TDqGxvx (excuse the GT3 cover art as server icon )

Right, can someone register with their Discord account, I need to test whether this works...

... also I wrote a review to a SCART cable for the PS2 I got yesterday it anyone's interested

I like your site, simple and easy to navigate, but I think you should have more section in your forum, is just my opinion, anyway good luck!

yeah, I was considering that but I didn't particularly know what to add... I'm thinking of adding a specific section for emulation

Obviously to keep in line with legal stuff no piracy will be allowed

Ah, that's wonderful! There's simply not enough retro nowadays around hehe...

 

[hazeldig]

Absolutely. Also, updated the domain to a .xyz, rather than a .ga, we still look cheap but at least we're not as bad now and will actually rank in google properly I guess

 

[hazeldig]

Bad news. The forums screwed up, so we're going to have to reset (I was unable to login since the domain move due to the theme not being updated for mybb 1.8.19)

I'm switching to php7.2, phpbb 3.2.5 and we'll be live again in some hours (basically when I get home from college)

Still down, is this coming back?

 

[Jerlene]

Still down in April so I'm closing this thread. Feel free to make a new one if your site gets back up.
