These forums are sacred and hallowed cyberground of video gaming. Puts my mind at ease a little......now I can resume worrying about the Detroit Lions looking bad tonight.

wolfy62 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Al,has the possibility been raised about a small monthly or yearly fee for membership? I'm asking because if Atari paid even a small amount to purchase Atariage they will probably like a return on their investment. Or hopefully they will also use the site to sell Atari merchandise to recoup whatever they put in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time they won it all there were no video games, no personal computers, no internet. I have no dog in the fight for the NFL so I will say "Go Lions Go!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to impose a mandatory subscription fee to people visiting and interacting with the forums. There's already a way to subscribe to the forum on a monthly or yearly basis, which gives you some benefits, such as a larger PM inbox. But I don't want to wall off the forum or any important functionality in the forum behind a subscription. ..Al 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm cool with that. Atari can pay me monthly. I can use it to buy games. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Spear Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I came running here to post this up, of course it's already a thread. Al, congrats and good luck, they wouldn't have come to you if this community had to value. Maybe it's time for an Intellivisionaries interview? @Rick Reynolds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGG Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Like I said in my most recent interview, as far as I'm concerned AtariAge WAS Atari for 20 years. Hoping for the best with this news. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you still own it? I recall it pointing here: On 12/9/2014 at 5:54 AM, Albert said: IntellivisionAge.com already points to AtariAge.com. The top news on the front page is for a contest based on an Intellivision homebrew game. I'd be glad to create additional Intellivision forums down the road if the need warrants. ..Al But I did find this one the Wayback Machine: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
