It looked good in the beginning but that's all. Looks can be quite suspicious. :/

Why? Whats so bad about it? I'll have to check it out anyway, just to see.

Basicially, that site is just for flash, Audio, and art. The portal in that site is called a "Dome". That site is just a rip off of Newgrounds and Retrogade. :/

It's another one of, probably hundreds, of sites that tried to do that but failed.

I'm hoping it doesn't fail, I actually like the layout and the cool little shop things that are to come. Kind of like the cool little quirks Retrogade had.

Right now it needs flash/Photoshop/Audio artists.

If it fails it fails, but it's a cool little site.

Didn't say I was an active part of Retrogade, I was commenting on the subject of the site you had just posted about. Someone linked me to your post. I'm not whoring out anything.

Still the same old QF.

Yeah, thats all beside the point though. This thread is for people interested in, are an active part of, or helping with RetroGade. You are doing neither. You don't just barge into a conference room where they're talking about acquiring SBC Global and start talking about how the dime and penny store down the street from you sells wonderful whisks.

Well then for that I apologize. I didn't think one comment in a multiple page thread would hurt. I just wanted to comment on one little thing, not start a whole conversation.

Relax.

I'll be leaving now. Best of luck on getting the site back up.

The thing that I liked about Retrogade the most was that there was barley any noobs there. Also, the levels looked kinda cool.

Sk said if someone asked he would give it to them, if he deemed them to be suitable. But it needs someone who can actually code and who can actually maintain and run the site well.

Exactly why didn't it work at Godaddy anyways? If you all aprove, I can take over.

I have a shared webhosting account at webhostingbuzz.com with about 20GB availible space and at least 500GB of bandwidth per month. I host my other sites there too, but they're tiny ( and excluded from the space/bw mentioned above ). If that's enough to host RG on then I'll be happy to. I won't be able to do any major improvements on the site, since my skills with PHP aren't the greatest, but I can mantain it at least. And work on the new layout. Better that then the site dissapearing completly.

Well, I wouldn't say barely. But the noob/regular ratio was quite low compared to say NG General.

SK never explained much, but he definitely indicated GoDaddy's crapulescence had something to do with RG going down and not coming back up.

He was trying to take the site down and put it back up and... GoDaddy has some inherent limitations that made that difficult or impossible, it seems.

I'm not sure that the bandwidth per month will cut it, but it's worth a shot. I hope SK and/or QF get back to you.

I hope so too. Sent SK an email as well. Am leaving for vacation in a few weeks and I would really like to get the site up before that if possible, won't have access to FTP while I'm away. :S

You ain't kidding. XD That's basically the main reason why I liked Retrogade so much. Also, it had many similar features like Newgrounds. Examples would be stats, reviews, posts, etc.

Eh... sooner, later...

Just so long as it's EVENTUALLY, it's all good, either way. We've had to be patient in the past, we're having to be patient now... and we'll have to continue to be patient.

Such is the lot of an RG user.

Get ready to learn some true patience, my friend.

Patience... it's a good thing. Can't ever get too much of it.

Well... actually... in certain circumstances, I suppose you could. But the key to having great amounts of patience is knowing when to use it and knowing when NOT TO. #;-}>
