🕹️ Added "Atari Museum Archive" to the MORE Dropdown Menu under BROWSE in the Nav Bar at the top of the page. With one click you can easily access the most recent wayback archive of Curt Vendel's Atari Museum website. This is a stopgap measure until I can develop something more permanent.

There are probably a lot of little features like that in the software that we don't know about. Always fun to learn new things!
But like @Jinroh said, this is a fun and chill place to hang out. Thank you, @Justin and all who participate.

🖖 Atari Age members are welcome here. Atari VCS players are welcome here. Young people just discovering the World of Atari are welcome here. Atari alumni are welcome here. Atari I/O is a Disney World of classic gaming - a place for people of all interests, ages and skill levels to gather and make friends discussing our favorite hobbies - and continuing the adventure of what comes NeXT.

I agree with this. Atari was about family and friends spending time together, it wasn't always about the games. Atari is how and why I learn how to be social. Doesn't matter where you are from, we are all here for the same reason. And we all need a break from life. So sit down, visit with people on here, and enjoy a good game. It doesn't even have to be an Atari game. Whatever game you want to play...the idea is to enjoy yourself. Come here and lower your stress level. See? Atari Pac-Man is good for something after all!

I was shocked and saddened to see that "The Condor" Kevin Mitnick - the legendary hacker and security expert, who I've followed on Instagram and Twitter for years, passed away at the age of 59 from Pancreatic Cancer. I had no idea. He leaves behind a pregnant wife. 😔

Busy weekend, I haven't forgotten you guys 🙂
-
Busy is the new normal for many! Don't worry about the lot of us vagabonds. We understand completely.
I've been unable to participate in the VCS challenges because my gaming room has been taken over by visiting adult children! I would move the VCS downstairs, but that involves undoing all the wiring and just thinking about it makes me tired. In any case, we should be back to empty-nest status later this week. -
I'll try to have the new Squad Challenge up soon!

Everything's all set to go! Things get a little busy sometimes but I'll never forget or abandon you guys. It's been a rough year.

🏴☠️ Our hosting platform experienced a bit of downtime overnight. If you were unable to get into the Forums, it wasn't anything specific to Atari I/O, just some general maintenance on our platform's end.

I wondered, the site loaded and even threads but I could not log in or click to read anything without erroring out. Glad it's all sorted. 😎

❓Question: when’s the last time you “chatted online“ with anyone outside of this site?

It's been Discord for me, though I'm fortunate to have had more positive experiences on that app (largely because the Discord I've joined are all video-game related as well as moderated).

I chat with a few select folks pretty regularly in Discord or Twitter. It's nothing like in the old Yahoo or AIM days though.

It ain't nothing like the old "Wednesday Night Chat" days. 🍕

This is good to hear @Sabertooth. Feel free to pin this as a topic in Club VCS if you'd like. This land of hyped false narratives is exactly why I don't dive too deeply into this stuff outside of trusted sources who we know through Atari I/O or similar.

I guess one good thing that came from the erroneous/incomplete news is that a lot of people bought a VCS during the holidays, thinking either it would be their last chance or would be a collector item. Couple that with the awesome holiday sale on software, and I sure hope Atari got some great financial results during December.

@RickR Yes, let's hope! Atari has been doing a good job of listening to and respecting the hopes and dreams of their fans, and in my view when they make a sincere, authentic effort to do that they've earned our dollars. I hope they continue to do well!

🤔 Idk about you but I can’t remember the last time I animated a .gif

You know I realized I do remember the last time I created an animated web graphic - it was about 7 years ago when I created the animated emojis for this site. Like the one with E.T. moving his neck, etc. Technically I think those were saved as .png as opposed to .gif but man-oh-mannnn did I used to animate .gifs back when we first got started. I'd dial up, log the hell on line, start surfing the net and create animated .gifs which would get posted on Atari7800.com and AtariAge. Also Atari Joe's GeoCities page and Angelfire.com

THANK YOU @RickR It's something I've wanted to add for a long time and something that should've been native to the site to begin with. They have value beyond showing the handful of "Recent Status Updates" on the right of the Forums home page. In a community our size we should be able to scroll through and see everybody's updates, going back longer than just a couple of days. I think a dedicated Status Updates page is overdue and will work out awesome.

Thanks @Sabertooth! Hope this gives us all more reason to post cool updates more frequently!

🤔 Is there any notable difference between Star Trek's "Q" and Samantha Stephens?

Oh touché, mon capitan! haha great point

Heh, Sam is much cuter 🥰 :

She was on The Twilight Zone:
She played her own mischievous sister SABRINA:
Did I mention she was cuter? :
And if you cannot tell already I am a Elizabeth Montgomery fan, early crush. MERRY CHRISTMAS 😝
