Well, maybe TI will send a dmca notice to Netham45 for using monochrome colors like on their old calcs

That made me LOL. Anyway, this was a good joke...

btw, ticalc.org did better in the previous years. Didn't like their joke that much, but the comments were funny.

yeah I didn't like it too much. However, what was cool with it is that we could easily play around like if it was real and exagerate.

My favorite one remains the Voyage 400

Mine was the one with the radium processor, but I only saw it like 7 years later... I've been in the community for little more than 2 years.

oh that was not a AFJ it was just a fake news. As for fake news I think my favourite one is by far the Calc.org redesign in 2006, but no one here would get it because they would have needed to have seen what happened with their own eyes to understand the joke. In second place, it would be the WFRNG first release

Sorry to necropost, but this is related to the topic, kinda.

http://www.ticalc.org/archives/news/articles/4/40/40306.html

This was years ago but it is a bit scary: TI actually C&D'ed calc websites for having TI in their domain names/names. That C&D was also due to ROM sharing, but TI-News were asked to change their name too.

Yeah, I didn't knew they did that kind of stuff before. I hope they still won't do it. It would suck if they tried to DMCA ticalc.org, UTI, TI-BANK and every other calc site using TI in their name x.x

It was weird to read this when I made a joke about something similar (this april fools prank topic I necroposted)

And nytimes.com :o

But that is stupid. But then, Google sent a C&D to letmegooglethatforyou.com (that's why they changed their URL to lmgtfy.com), googlegooglegooglegoogle.com, googleloco.com, and just about every other Google parody with the Google name in its name.

The key is to use a common consonant cluster as your domain name ;D like "ck", "tr", and so on.

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.
