Yet another community website about calcs

[contra-sh]

Hi,

yes, another website about z80 calcs
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 ).

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

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
