Atariage has been aquired by Atari.. fyi

[+hloberg]

the TI99 forum is the 4th largest, per post, forum on Atariage behind the 2600, Atari 8-bit and, oddly enough, the Intellivision. And I be willing to bet a lot of us with the TI99 also have a 2600, 7800, 8-bit (I have a 2600) too and buy Atari games for other consoles & PCs. So I doubt Atari is going to screw with us unless they are really, really stupid which I doubt they are or @Albert wouldn't have made a deal with them.

There is a huge amount of information and knowledge about the TI computers here from expertise which is sadly aging, and it would be a catastrophic and likely irreplaceable loss should this forum disappear. 

I for one will continue patronizing AA as long as I perceive a benefit to the community at large as well as to myself. That said, I will also start archiving select threads like the Assembly language and the pascal ones to name a couple in case the forum goes south.

Time will tell...

I would also like to add my concerns about the future of this forum, which has been of so much help to me in my exploring my beloved TI99.  Without it I would not have found my compact-flash (I think it is a Nano-PEB), or my F18A, both of which have immeasurably enhanced the usability of my system.  There is also the invaluable advice I have either located in the forum, or received directly from the kind and knowledgeable users here.  I am glad to have contributed a couple of programs that I and (hopefully) others, have found useful.

 

Thanks to everyone.

First, congrats to @Albert for being rewarded for his effortless work for our communities. Well deserved!

@Albert has expressed his interest in doing games production for the TI.

Second, I'm really interested in knowing more about this (as a developer), if the entire idea is still being entertained?

I am a Commodore guy who comes here to check out the Coleco and TI forums as well as the Atari 800 forums, and hey, this has been a tremendous resource for us retro computer enthusiasts, I thank Albert for all he has done, and wish him the best and understand that he needs to do what he needs to do!
