If you want, I can also post your Old Skool Mag in the news section of our amiga main site, Classicamiga. I like the style of the mag, and also enjoy the music.

Heya DC,

Welcome aboard :)

Feel free to add the prod to your site - cheers!

Had a quick look at Classic Amiga before and looks a very polished site, will pop in again later and have a better shmooze around. ;)

The new site was started only some month ago, so there's still a lot of work to do on it. Me and the Admin added 3.500 entries into the games section, which took us about 3 months, and I am currently working on the screenshots, which is a lot of work.

We have also 2 guys working mainly on the demo section which also starts to grow from week to week. And a magazine section will be added soon, with scans of whole magazines.

We always search for people willing to give a help, as building up a database is really a lot of work, meaning a real time consumer.

Our forums have also been relaunched in January, due to hard disk failures at Invision, they lost our whole backups of the forum, so we had to start from scratch. But the forum is working fine now, better than before, as we also switched to vB and doing our backups ourselves.

I will add the Old Skool Mags to the news section right now, and hope that some guys will get interested. I'm sure, all our members and staff will enjoy them. I will also point a link to this forum if you want.

Anyone willing to devote time and effort into promoting a site like yours, deserves loads of input and you have a lot of variety on there and plenty of scope for expansion - great stuff!

Thanks for adding my prod to your list. Hopefully, the more nostalgic users should appreciate the vibe and not completely miss the point like others (*cough RC55).

A link swap would be cool and I'll gladly add Classic Amiga to our list in return. ;)

I already added your magazine to the news section, and also added a link to this board. Link here.

Right, I'm very retro based and I like stuff like that very much. I also have a subscription for the RetroGamer magazine, which is awesome imo, I'm only missing issues 1-3.

Speaking about the Classicamiga site, if you want to contribute, you're greatly welcome.

Cheers DC!

I see you've hosted ALL the newsletters produced so far. :) The earlier one's were more text based than actual 'art' but there's plenty to read none the less.

Will reg on your forum soon.

Btw, added your link to our Friends Of oS-uK section.
