I'd definitely like to do some reviews and ramblings etc. if I have the time (which I probably won't

)
I've had an idea for a section. How about we do something like 'Games that Time Forgot'. It would be a review and a recommendation for a game that is really obscure, or criminally underplayed e.g. Beyone Good and Evil. It would say what's so good about the game, why it was ignored, and why people should seek it out. Good idea?

Cool, glad you like the idea

I've already got an idea for the game, I'll write it tomorrow evening. Any guidelines about word length/format etc? Or should I just do it how I think, and then see what you think of it?

Just another idea. I was thinking of basic ways of navigating through the site and was thinking that maybe if for example you want to read just articles you click on the articles link. Also I was thinking if people want to only read specific peoples articles they could click on the username and it would take them to all things submitted to the site by that person only.

ok i like the first idea but not the second. Do you want to go through what I wrote and take out the rambling and add in whatever your thoughts are about retro gaming?

I'm not sure if Classicgaming.com allows PHP and MySQL based sites. I can check.

What if you guys just did it all HTML? Does it matter?

Hey there...

I can offer you free hosting with me. Cpanel access and the like. In fact, I think I have some extra domains if you want them, as I'm probably abandoning web development other then a few sites.

Plus your concept sounds cool and I'd LOVE to help! I'm a great writer
