Social Network for Abandonware and Freeware fans - Page 4

So here's an update.

My free host is back online again. I took the extra time today, to upload Elgg. Needless to say, I'm not pleased. It's bare-bones. Doesn't even include any mods for shoutboxes.. or many other features I need. Waste of time.

Heading back to phpFox.

I will give you guys the link, once I have a "Coming Soon" page online.

Right now, I'm naming it "Retrolife". Once the engine is all setup, I can change it if needed.

Retrolife has a nice ring to it.

Glad you liked the sugestion that much!
RetroLife is a good choice due to many factors. A 2 word combo opens up for an easy short that is easy to remember and use in a sentence, in this case "RL".
- Gotta check my RL status!
- Seen the link i posted on RL?

and so on...

Good luck with the developement. Perhaps you can get Abovo intrested in supporting you in exchange for something minor?

About the domain, I don't think having one that could attract too many people, is a problem. If anything someone could want to secure both retrolife.* and retrogaminglife.*--although the latter is too long --but no sane entrepreneur or webmaster would prefer the latter to the former, it's simply worth less money, for a reason.

I've emailed Andreas about a possible deal we could work out. We'll see if I get a reply.

Good luck with that. As long as their ass ugly ads remain in place, the owners don't seem interested in anything else.

Yeah, I actually have plenty of other things to say about Abovo. But I'll keep them to myself.

If we all walked away from AB and AR, I don't think Abovo would really care. As long as the ads were in place.

But if Abovo will host my social network.. I'll go with it.

Just to make sure... Are you looking for a free or commercial solution for social network? Or maybe a commercial solution that can be "borrowed"?

Nick02 · 28-01-2011, 09:18 PM

At this point.. whatever works.
