Let me first start off by saying how happy I am seeing that this site is still available. I remember when I was first introduced to chiptunes, this site not only inspired me to write music, but the community was very welcoming.

Now that I am starting my path down game development (in particular, retro 8-bit/16-bit), I was hoping to move away from the personal/immature profile I had and create a fresh start. However, I was sad to see that Chipmusic.org is no longer accepting new profiles. I was wondering if this is a timed occurrence or if the site is no longer being supported.

I have always appreciated sites that focused on the community and the music rather than advertisements and accumulating views. If there is also a form of support (i.e Patreon) please let me know.

1. Social network site links

2. Make the user page sexier

3. Add ignore & links to the posts in a nice maybe drop-down manner.

4. Possibly add + | - to threads, threads under a score will be "folded" from view

5. More forum navigation options. (New posts since your last visit, Your Threads, Unanswered Posts, [fixed] advanced search)

6. bbcode buttons for message box

I have a question regarding this site, and am unable to send an e-mail to staff@chipmusic.org due to the following:

staff@chipmusic.org (staff@chipmusic.org)
The address you sent your message to wasn't found at the destination domain.

Is there a way to contact a member of chipmusic.org staff or administration team for some questions regarding my account? Thank you.

The contact email doesn't work/exist (it bounces), and yet I did not receive a reply from assumed moderators after sending PM to them...

Thanks for any help or hints,

(tl;dr) Chipmusic.org should have a socialnetwork-like layout where folks share patterns and melodies on their user pages. Organiser/developper monetizes it with advertisement.

totally new to music in general but i'm learning everything on chipmachines doing chip tunes.

All i've done is basically watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UphAzryVpY by John Varney, then checked out some videos by Prof. Ethan Hein on you tube about what's called a Beat Pizza.

A beat pizza is a great way to share drum patterns, 16 steps (one bar) represented by slices and notes by colors and neat visual tricks. For example :  https://soniccharge.com/patternarium

I've been able to tap into music through chiptunes so quickly this way. I think it's worth sharing.

Man i'd love to see a facebook of chiptune drum patterns and melodies with some sort of intuitive input. I'm sure it's practically trivial , with a small team it would be easier in some and harder in other respects, but really it would be so great to try to do this correctly .

Hope this helps !
