Yet another community website about calcs
« on: February 05, 2013, 09:56:18 am »
Hi,

yes, another website about z80 calcs :D
Nothing compared to omnimaga of course :p

It's intended to become another community website.
Currently the content is very poor but I plan to add some original content as assembly tutos, source code review and this kind of things (mostly assembly stuff)

Here the links :

Home : http://www.ti-84-plus.com/index.php

And of course a forum : http://www.ti-84-plus.com/forum/index.php

Please give me some feedback, what you think about the design, and what you espect from a website like this.
Do not take care about content, there's currently nothing...

Looks nice :) Too bad I'm not a z80 coder, I would've been glad to help (well I still am but I'm not of much use :P).

I like the design, it needs some of the more conventional forum related stuff though, like a feedback section and an intro section.

I'll join to help form a solid userbase :D

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

Not to be discouraging, but as I said last night to pimathbraniac (who also planned to start a new calc forum) I am not really convinced from the right-most part of the following graphics that it is a good time to dillute the TI community userbase even further right now:




And for a new forum to be active, it will definitively need something exclusive to attract people (eg RPGs/68K on Omni and hardware/DCS/BASIC Elite on Cemetech back in 2005 gave them a kickstart, add another in 2010 with Axe/Nspire and DCS7/ASM respectively). That worked for both, but back then there were 2 other forums that had around 150 posts/day each to attract members from, which isn't the case right now (although it might be next school year when many people will have bought a TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition)

The site looks nice though.

Yes when I see the charts, I'm wondering if it's the right period to promote it.

But... I really convinced that TI84plus C se will give a lot of new active community members and I also would like to attract people which are not community members...

And I don't plan to have a huge traffic/number of members, I simply do this project for fun first :)

I will continue to develop assembly stuff and personal open source projects as always, but I will share a bit more what I do and try to help others if I can.

What DJ_O says is true... Having a websites good, but it has to have something unique about it to gain interest. I personally wanted to start one (as already said by DJ_O), but he made me realize (as well as myself thinking it was a bit crazy to begin with) that it is a crazy idea and might not last very long. You need something special to have on the site, and you need to promote it and get a large enough base to have it stay.

I wish you luck regardless, and I may sign up as well.

Thanks :)

Currently, yes, I have no content that's true, but I will try to have something special, cloning other community websites is not what I want.
I will try to build something original and I will see if it please to some people :D
