One thing that the Casio community currently lacks and I believe is holding it back is an archive system similar to ticalc.org. Other Casio hosting sites, are often anti-gaming, nearly dead, or rarely frequented. Although the Omnimaga archives are great they aren't as open to the public as other systems are. What I was wondering was if it would be possible to host a site dedicated to maintaining archives of programs developed for Casio calcs. There are certainly many cost considerations as hosting a site isn't free and it would also need to be structured in a way so that it wouldn't compete with existing calculator based sites. Would anyone else support a similar venture? 

I strongly agree that an archive site that allowed Casio calc submissions would be very useful, especially for new users who might have trouble learning how to install games and where to find them. If the Prizm is going to be as good at gaming as the z80 series, a good source of programs and information is crucial. All of the files that currently exist are generally spread out between the Omnimaga, Cemetech and casiocalc.org archives, so there isn't a good place where all of the programs are. If one of these forums do become the largest source of programs, things might still be tricky, since some people dislike some forums and newcomers might only notice the forums and not the files.

The only sites i SEE That There are active are the ucf (and so...), and P-C...
We need a real database.
Oh, and we'are makin the fourth version of P-C...

Version 4? sounds cool. Are you guys gonna update the  EN homepage? I think the latest news is from 2004

I think there should be a database that searches P-C, UCF and omni for your prog. A casio search engine. Maybe even have a list of all add-ins.

that would be alot of uploading...

I still think the neutral archives should be Casiocalc.org, though, because those were the neutral archives since almost a decade.

I agree that there should be some sort of center for the Casio archives, though I don't exactly see what's wrong with using an existing site.
Imho casiocalc sounds pretty good, tho I'll say casiokingdom's collection seems pretty impressive as well, also having the tutorials etc.

Both sites due to have good archive collections but they are quite limited and due not have any section dedicated to newer Prizm calcs. What I'm really looking for is a distribution system as well laid out as ticalc. One that is frequently updated with news and supports a large collection of programs and apps.

Yeah I wonder if 2072 would be willing to expand for the Prizm. Also the current system is quite weird. It might be good to have something like ticalc.org, although it would be hard to get the old authors to add their files to the archives.

For authors that we can't get to upload to a new site there's always the possibility of providing direct links so that at least some resource is provided to download those apps. Everything else would be hosted directly on the archive. For the domain I was considering some ideas such as:

casiozone.org
casioalliance.org
casiohub.org

what do you guys think?

Yeah I like that idea because I had no intention to contain a forum other than maybe comments on news articles and app reviews.

btw very off topic but since when have you had leet ratings?
