Note: derivative works & tributes to past, that are executable on C64 are of course not retro, because they create new C64 history in themselves |

Or, a less hateful/negative approach to the retro issue, instead being a challenge: (not meant to anyone specifically)
"You obviously show an interest to the C64, so why not do something ON it? The resources, tools, means to communicate and spread your work are now better than ever. By doing that instead of various retro work, you become immortal" (slight exaggeration) :)))) |

I agree with Cadaver. And if his opinions have to scare away people who consider themselves C64 supporters by doing various PC/WIN plattform dependent productions I'm perfectly reconciled with that. Commodore 64 is a computer plattform and PC is a computer plattform. If anyone makes C64 related MP3 remix, game remake, website, or video production he is mainly supporting the PC scene. As this is a C64 scene database it's quite obvious that such productions doesn't belong here.
It of course doesn't mean that non C64 productions cannot be discussed or offered in the forum or at c64 related news sites. Many times it happens that there is a video from the party or video offering new product (Like Metal Dust video), website supporting an active group, party, or new production. MP3 with interview with some C64 celebrity. PC tool for crossplattform productivity. New hardware for PC helping better communication with C64 etc.etc.
Videos can be also released computer parties in Wild Competitions. Even Forever 4 (8bit party held this year in March) allows 8bit related video productions in it's wild competition. |

http://www.afl1970.net/ <- example of site which is in my opninion going the non scene - retro direction.
Yeah it looks nice, but it's very retro oriented. As far as I know AFL 1970 isn't active anymore but maybe the will organise meeting celebrating their glory (as they write in the Flash demo). Well we are celebrating glory of Slovak scene almost every year at Cult Party. It's always a lot of fun especially when we celebrate the glory (=booze ;-). Except of that former slovak c64 sceners check various PC stuff, watch latest C64 demos in emulator (because there is always some problem with transferring and dude responsible for that (-me) always fail to deliver stuff). Except of that we mostly watch PC demos and Divx movies. Well, I must admit that we also play C64 games on real c64 from all the time. ;-) |

Ah, CreaMD wrote a very nice further clarification..
Let me say that had this been posted to "C64 discussions" for example, the humorous system-integrity check subroutine wouldn't have been triggered.
Let me also say that most of the time, I also hate behaviour that insists on anal rules of conduct, staying 100% on topic etc, "polices" guarding the correctness etc., which happens in many, many usenet newsgroups. This is usually associated with "old farts" by the younger people, who simply fail to understand why is this necessary.
But, the truth is that when there's something one believes in a lot, like the C64 and its continued active existence, such behaviour becomes, little by little, acceptable or even preferable to some degree. I believe it's somewhat like in savage tribes: the continued existence of the tribe is most important, so harsh punishments are dealt to those who violate various taboos :)
We are of course civilized (?) so we don't need to impale people on a pole :), but I think messages to remind of correct usage of the forums (particularly if not dealt in an unnecessary offensive manner) aren't out of the line. To my knowledge, this is the only major, only C64-scene related, english-speaking forum system today, so it'd be sad to see it going out of control. (for example, to the level of Lemon64's scene forum :)) |

i think i have to reply to this.
I MADE A MISTAKE . jesus.
it was my first post here and iam sorry for getting up your nose by posting in the wrong place.
but you didnt have to be so unfriendly to a new poster.
it says at the top "welcome to our latest new user", well i must say i dont feel very welcome.
ive been in the industry since 1987 as an artist, started working for alternative software.
since then ive moved around alot(as we all have) so i have a lot of experience on doing c64 gfx and thought i could add something to this forum.
anyway iam off to lemon64 were its friendly and people dont jump down your neck for making a mistake.

I think it's only fair that the general attitudes of *this* community are shown to you at your 1st post. If that makes you go away, it is perhaps regrettable, but the C64 active scene is generally more limited in scope, and therefore this forum IMO doesn't have to be as "friendly" as the Lemon64 community, which is aimed for everyone interested in any aspect of the C64. For the most part, we are zealots and maniacs in here :)

when did people become such touchy crybabys? this is a forum for sceners, and on the scene most people can handle a sarcastic post or two with out running and hiding behind mothers skirt(or on lemons forum). thumbs up for cadaver who speaks his mind and has valid opinions.
when i started calling boards and made mistakes i usually didnt only get sarcastic replies, i was also told to fuck off. i'm still around though, but then again i didnt drop out of school because i got slapped around every now and then either. |
