thankyou!

Random unpopular opinions:

1) Think about the genres you're doing within chipmusic and aim at websites in those genres, not just chipmusic ones.  Enough 'real music' is using pure waveforms these days you can maybe slide into that genre under the radar.   Don't think because it's chipmusic you have to stick to gaming pages or web sites like this.
2) Use a banner term like electronic music, don't describe it as "chiptune/chipmusic" unless they do.  Those terms come with a lot of baggage, calling it electronic at least means they might listen to it just to check what type of music it is.
3) For a niche style like this internet IS the way to get a following rather than gigging, unless you can piggyback onto gigs with other types of artists.  Because the gig scene for purely chip artists is small and infrequent, chances are people already know who you are there already.
4) For social sites just pick one main hub as your base and use a few other 'satellites' for certain aspects of it, rather than trying to cover all of them.  (For example: Facebook as the main because it has good stat feedback and practically everyone has it, Soundcloud to upload streaming tracks, YouTube for videos, Bandcamp for releases, Myspace as an RSS feed for places like Last.fm)

I've downloaded zero chip releases with skulls on, what are you on about?

I agree, and having asked Byzanite his definition of fakebit I doubt it's even ironic. "fulfilling your non-purist chiptune needs for the front end of the new year", I mean for crying out loud.
