Dragon's Moon

[palemoon]

First, my apologies to staff if this post is in the wrong place or not allowed. Please feel free to move it.

Being a long time Amiga user, owner, supporter, and developer...I decided it was time for Amiga to have a pure Social Site. I know that this site and others like it are more or less a social community. But, I thought we could use something different.

My site Dragon's Moon is totally free (Ad Free too). It has similar features to facebook. Members are free to join or create groups, have mini-blogs, and more. I will be adding more features to the site over the next few days.

Try it out, and I'm open to any suggestions on how to make it better.

Thanks!
Ed

Hmmm...

Pretty slick looking but OY! Another user name and password to keep track of?!?  lol  

Why weren't people content with Usenet? Oh yeah, because the next generation of geeks were on mind altering drugs (anti-depressants for starters) and were "diagnosed" with having ADD. That and Google came along and ruined everything.  

Is your new Amiga social site compatible with legacy Amiga hardware and software? AWeb, Ibrowse, etc? Be very nice if it were since the site looks so neat and clean as it is...

Actually I was happy with CNet or Zeus back in the day! I think I still have my Zeus discs somewhere.

Well, to be honest, I'm not sure how it looks on legacy Amiga. Sadly, I no longer have my A3000T. I'm still looking for a new (used) one...hint hint. But it does use Javascript / Ajax so I'm not sure how well that works on legacy stuff these days.

I'm trying to port some old legacy stuff over to AROS at the moment, but I would love to have an A3000T again! I was one of the 4 devs on the game Invasion Force (some of you may remember) and did the whole Amiga developer thing with the TAO/Intent stuff (AD-115 was/is me).

Thanks for taking the time to look at the site!

Nice idea, but the site doesn't work properly in IBrowse or AWeb

I've got a nice one, make me an offer!

Thanks for checking Cammy!

Hmmm... not the end of the world obviously, but I just had a conversation with a friend that makes his living programming PHPBB and told him about the server "upgrade" that took place on this site and the negative effects said upgrade had on legacy machines. Well, he swore up and down that there's absolutely no reason why this site couldn't be more Amiga browser friendly - that all that was needed, were cosmetic tweaks to the HTMLx (4 or did he say 7?). Anyway, he agreed 'that' in itself could be somewhat of a project, which is why Wayne didn't bugger to tweak since less than 6% of us actually use A.org on their machines.

I may be in the minority here, but it *would* be nice to have another Amiga social site be fully compatible with our machines. An Amiga site compatible with Amiga's? Guess that's just too much to ask for in the new millennia    Might start Twittering on my C64 instead, just because...  lmao!

I figured as such. I'm pretty such it's the Ajax bits. I believe I can turn those off. I will look into it.

Thanks for letting me know!

Specs, Rev. etc.

It's got all the good chips, 3.1 ROMs, maxed out RAM on the board, CV64, ethernet, and optionally a CSMKII '060 with 128MB of RAM. (SCSI card and all, though I haven't used the CS SCSI in it yet.)

I agree! I actually make a living doing web development (and a little hardware / software stuff here and there.). So, I will look into making it compatible with legacy Amiga. I've been on Linux for the past 3+ years, so give me a bit to get back up to Amiga speed.

Thanks again!

Cool, Ed - thanks! I'd think that would be a good "selling" point for your site, despite all the competition.

Sorry but I don't see the point.
Whats the draw to your site over Facebook, A.org, AW.net, EAB?

If you'd like an example of a social networking website that is very compatible with Amiga browsers, check out http://www.comicspace.com . It uses HTML to lay everything out, and only minimal CSS for a few extra cosmetic enhancements. The reason most modern sites don't work well in IBrowse or AWeb is because they use CSS for everything, and our browsers don't recognise CSS yet.
