As usual I'm the last one to notice and after poking my host I fear the worst as they removed all traces without notice. I'll update after I get in touch with them but it's pretty safe to say it's game over after 10 years. The fact that google doesn't even list 2a03.org anymore makes me wonder how long it has been down now. But yes, in reply, the website was only there for reminiscent purposes since the first fallout.

Re: Thoughts on Streaming (114 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Some background :
I've been casting, let's just call it a live radioshow with cam and chat, regularly for well over 4 years now.
While by no means popular, mostly because I simply don't advertise it, or any reference for that matter,
I have learned that for a stream to be successful there has to at least a means of direct interaction.
But that in itself is not enough to captivate viewers. Most viewers come for a personality/show
they can relate to and the actual streamcontent is secondary to that.
So, is there room for a stream about chiptunes? Defenitely. Are we missing the boat if there isn't? No.
The question is only what direction to take it in. Just showing a video of a concert is
not going to cut it nor is just playing music. People use youtube for that.
It would however be a great predefined time for likemined people to actively get together,
hang out while promoting and/or enjoying new music while getting instant feedback.
Basically the way I see it is that it's just a not all that different venue for a community to get together
and share/promote what they care about with the added feature of being able to show visual information.
How to fill in the visual part is really the only question and by far the most work.
My random 2 cents

Re: Article on Chip Music (30 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I found absolutely nothing wrong with the article for a general audience. The article isn't even about chipmusic per se and there are no blatant mistakes there.
People here care about their community, that's great, but getting worked up over something like this sure smells a lot like elitism.
