Back2Roots is hurting - let's help.
« on: February 15, 2004, 11:15:44 PM »
The main reason I just assembled an A1200 tower is to run demos that I can most easily find on http://www.back2roots.org.  They've had to stop updating site due to no more disk space.  Need $$ for more space.  I just made a donation (see the link) - give some thought to doing the same.  Lots of great demos and games to be found there.  Nice feel.

If that's a pirate site, they're certainly not getting my money :(

It's not a pirate site. The stuff it offers for download is legal and permission from the authors was obtained.

But then...you'd have known that if you'd have followed the link and spent 10 seconds on the site.

Eh? Since when was back2roots a pirate site? They only distribute public domain demos and stuff that the developers gave them permission for putting on their site...

All stuff there is legal.

This guys definitely deserves some donations.

Paypal... so, quick... so easy. A few mouse clicks... And also, exchange rates make it cheap for us in the UK at the moment to slide a few dollars in the direction of American sites we appreciate (and the Kitty is kinda cute...).

How do I donate?  I checked out the
site looking for a link to make a donation,
but I didn't see any.  I am sure it is there,
but I can't find it.
