Some thoughts, some ideas

Post#1 » Wed Nov 16, 2011 7:13 am

Obviously there is lack of english dreamcast on the scene, isnt it ?
Most updated dc news site is french _http://dreamcast-news.blogspot.com/ thank you man. we have _http://www.sega-dc.de/news/ but it's german, thanks goes to Maturion, _http://iberdc.dreamcast.es/news.php is spanish. thanks our spanish friends, sega.prv.pl isnt updated for some time but they have _http://world-of-dreamcast.blogspot.com/ thanks Tomcio, i post news russian at my site _http://dreamcast.org.ru/ I know i have not mentioned several sites sorry for that but i pointed most updated nowadays.
But we dont have english one now.
_http://dcnews.co.uk/ lost many active members, got to much ads, too much spam, overloaded forum engine and news are seldom posted, sometimes not dc related at all but i still post there sometimes.
_http://www.dreamcast-scene.com/ have many downtimes and usually not often updated.
_http://dcemulation.org the same as for dcs
That 3 sites dont post 'warez' news like HalfLife mods, recent 4x4 mod etc.

So where is a place for all kind of dreamcast news english?
For last years dc-talk became most popular english dreamcast site so my suggestion - to install some software for posting news and for creating file archive, i dint mind having afew ads because of that here. I cant promise to post news but i'll help to do it sometimes. Also i would like to suggest to separate this forum 'Homebrew/Emulation/Releases'.
http://dreamcast-talk.com have all necessary potential to become main english dreamcast portal so why not take a chance ?

I agree with you Vasily, there is only few good sites with dreamcast news like dc.es or zouzzz blog. But both are not in english. Dreamcast-Talk is my favorite forum, so it would be great to see some changes and make DCT the #1 Source for english Dreamcast news :D.

Thank you for the feedback. I would also like to offer more news but my current schedule doesn't allow me to.

At one time I had a submission form for news but no one used it. I would be happy to add that again. The current setup wouldn't allow for automatic news submission but I have no problem manually adding it myself. I don't think implementing a new content management system would be a good move right now.

So, for now I will include the submission for on the news page. http://dreamcast-talk.com/forum/news_submission.php

Thanks, but i'd like to see bbcodes or html editor there at least like while posting this answer.
Do you have any plans for expanding dc-talk ?
I have more ideas like news subscribtion, blogs, file archive and more.
