I would say "PC retro gaming hub". VCF is still a way bigger repository of non-gaming-related PC info.

Very true. The amount of knowledge there is enormous! Especially when it comes to the more technical details of the very old stuff.

I thought they did mostly older stuff though.

And since they don't grow along with technology (or not as much as Vogons here, in 10 years we will have more different retro systems while they keep at it with their ZX Spectrum's and Atari's, which are very unlikely to grow in numbers), they can only grow by specializing more instead of increasing their coverage and then specializing.

Never really thought about this and was surprised how interesting I DID find it.
Didn't know it was split off from VDMSound and now also interested in those first days and who was involved.

Just a bunch of assholes who couldn't appreciate the simpleness of bravenet.

Also this is what vogons looked like back in the day

sorry for the necroPost.

Wow, throwback.

My first post in 2004 was about getting FastTracker 2 shortcuts working in Dosbox. Alt+F4 is the shortcut for "copy selection", which I used a lot, but it also killed the program. I had switched to an NT based OS at the time and wanted to still use my old favorite tracker software.

I was such an annoying nerd back then. Even moreso than now.
