Hello!

FFTacticsRules · 11-30-2011, 09:39 PM

Hello FF fans, I am a FF fanatic known as FFTacticsRules. I love Tactics and IV/V/VI/VII the best of the FF series!

To tell you a little more about myself, I am also working on an Internet web site project with a majority of it devoted to retro gaming and heavy metal, especially from the '80s and '90s. Unlike the current trend of the Internet it will be purely written in HTML by choice, with the exception of a community forum. I am doing this because I want to resemble the Internet in the retro form similar to how it was back in the 56k modem days, a site that will load up instantly on weaker connections, and much more friendly to users with a capped Internet connection.

I am currently looking for some help with this project in terms of a loyal contributor or suggestions on a good free web hosting service to start off on.

I love my music on vinyl and still own my old school consoles. I hope I'll enjoy my stay here.

You're the biggest hipster ever.

Do you get your drinking water out of a well also?

What? That was very rude.

Just so happens I prefer video games and music of the '90s and '80s over today's. And I don't like visiting sites with flashy layouts only to find out there is little to no content. And I grew up making sites back in the HTML days so EXCUSE ME if you don't like my views.

In all honesty, I commend you for not wanting to make some "flashy" (u c wut i did there) website. Flash sucks. And the most important part of a website is functionality. We actually see pretty eye to eye on our web ideas so far.

I just thought it was funny that you were into all this "retro" stuff. Good for you. You like what you like. Personally, I like to not remember the 56k days.

Also, internet doesn't need to be capitalized.

And don't be so sensitive! <3 Welcome to TFF. Good luck with your project!

Thank you. I'm glad you've quit it with the trolling. I am a big fan of Maddox so I have learned a good deal from his sites. Content matters, not how glamorous you make your layout look.

Also, obviously no one wants to go back to the 56k days, I agree. But my project is really more of an appreciation for the time back then when we had plenty of interesting and detailed fan sites exploding (OK, not all of them, but most had unique content).

Nowadays most just copy information straight from other sites and that's about it. No, besides us wanting to bring over people who remember and appreciate the older days of the Internet when there wasn't any of that MySpace/Facebook thing going on, we also want to publish OUR own content because we LOVE that era of gaming and music.

For example, I have a heavy metal album collection/reviews page I am working on and will soon be published within our own little "Webring" of mini sites within a site.

A friend is also working on a tribute page to his favorite Zelda game. We do all this from the heart, with no cheap copy-and-paste crap!

Thanks for the more proper welcome. Appreciated.

P.S. I'm used to capitalizing the "i" on that word.
