Overture

Post by LunarLoony »

The UK Retro Online forum is now open for business.
Please post responsibly!

What We Have
A set of forums based around games, music, and movies, and another one for "everything else".

There is scope to add more forums as and when - the results of the survey present a few more ideas which I'd like to implement eventually, but the current crop is a good place to start.

What We Don't Have (yet...)
Quite a lot! The following items are planned thus far:
  • Retro news, primarily from the UK
  • Site directory (maybe a webring...?)
  • Directory of UK-based retro-flavoured publications
  • Chat room (Discord or otherwise)
Anyway, let's see how we get on. Your feedback would be appreciated; indeed, there's a special feedback forum you can use for this express purpose.

Welcome to UK Retro Online.

I would love to see this site bringing back the webring!

Webring! Now that’s a word that takes me back! Agreed though, more of the classic takes on web discovery is good. The age of the billionaires algorithm is coming to its close.. hopefully!

I'll have to look into how to even set one up...! I suspect back in the 90s - early 2000s they were largely manual affairs, but hopefully there's a solution out there to automate it a bit. Much as I love the idea of having a webring, I also don't want it to be a full-time job :lol:
