Building a Vintage Amiga site
« on: September 13, 2007, 02:17:50 AM »
Is anyone interested in writing any articles for a Vintage Amiga site? I have articles for every model and a history of Commodore.

However, I don't have anything regarding key people other than the guy who started Commodore.

Your name would be at the top of your article(s) and if you have a site, it would be in our links page.

Thanks :)

Thanks -- the main site is meant as a home for everything. We are now taking time out to build a site for the major systems and the Amiga has a special place in my heart.

It would be great to get some articles from the community, both good and bad so long as it is not slander ;)

I just can't come up with everything.

Also, feel free to drop off any articles for the Arcadia -- it is a little scant right now :(

I'm already the webmaster of EA2001 Central, which as you noted is the largest site for that machine.

If you want to mirror content (eg. emulators, manuals) from there I don't mind, be aware however that the content is frequently updated.

Yes people, he means it! You might even find the love of life on it, since it's the ultimate place for romance!

Do you earn a lot with adsense on your vintage gaming sites?

Nice clean attractive page design that doesn't make the browser cry.

Well, not as yet. We have had the main page up for about a two months and no significant income. The plan is to make enough to cover the hosting costs and domain registration.

The main focus is to finish the SONY site and the Amiga site and then work on linking to other sites.

I'd really love to see the forum take off, but it is a catch 22: people don't like to post in a forum that does not have many posts ;) So feel free to drop a few posts now and then.

Amiga is my true love here, but I have learned a lot about game development and construction. Apparently, Commodore is not the only company to make some bad moves. Sega seemed to repeat mistake after mistake.
