what the hell is it ?
and why do you just assume we all know about it, is it something related to retro gaming ?

I didn't want to be the first to say it, but yeah. What is the url?

Is this what you mean?

http://bluelobster.dyndns.org/

So why would they be using a DYNAMIC DNS address instead of paying for a ral hosting service ?

What is Blue Lobster ?

Now if only you had said "Rock Lobster" instead 😁

I don't have a problem with your post as I was unware of the site myself until now.

I think I was just poking fun at the name is all.

Maybe instead of a DYNDNS they should move to a hosting company but I suppose they are really on a shoestring budget 😀

Just wondering if Vogons has a obscure Web Site thread to post this URL for future reference and a summary of what the site has to offer ?

shoestring? I own a dot com and dot org through godaddy and it costs under $20 a year. You can forward those to a dyndns name easily. There is no real financial excuse to host a site intended for the public without your own site name. Pro hosting, yes, that costs $7+ a month for a reliable one (hostgator, I get their $15 a month hosting which is unlimited in nearly every sense)

On the Internet, "on a shoestring" = "for free"

😜

And whether you have a domain name and forward via dyndns or just plain dyndns makes no difference in regard to reliability.

Sorry I didn't join this thread when it was current. I haven't been around here recently.

Don't know why the board would have been down in March, but it couldn't have been down long. Blue Lobster has been online continuously since March 2007, except for about a year when I decided to try to live without it.

The connection to retro gaming: about 20 online games, all of which used to run in DOS and one of which runs online inside DOSbox. Also I have several hundred DOS games in the download area.

About blue lobsters: they are real animals and should not be ridiculed (not that I knew that when I named the board -- I was shooting for something goofy that had a personal significance).

On a shoestring, yes.
