It won't though, you need quite a few active users to sustain a community. The issue is potential users are often turned off by the lack of an active community, and the lack of an active community is exacerbated by a lack of active users. Unless you know how to get around that besides "post into the void and hope other people pop up somehow"... I don't know. I forgot where I was going with this.

I've seen someone unironically whine about how the mods were harming more users than Reddit mods. And of course, r/AskReddit's pseudo-neutrality is infuriating.

I'm not sure I'm able to seed, unfortunately. College network doesn't seem to like port forwarding, and Mullvad disabled port forwarding recently. That and I don't have a lot of storage space and I'm worried about getting a scary letter from my ISP. At least the scene I'm in is more DDL-based than torrent-based. Makes things easier.

That makes sense. What about aftermarket titles like Demons of Asteborg or Grimace's Birthday, or those weird AtGames cartridges that only work on AtGames' Firecore-based Genesis clones?

I wouldn't mind helping out on this sub. I've moderated in other communities on Discord in the past, though I don't really want to say which ones because I'd rather not have my main Discord account get identified on here. I do have a question about this sub though. Which systems count as "retro" for the purposes of moderation? Or is there no hard line at the moment?

[–] ScratchySoft 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, that makes sense.

I mean if you can find the iOS port and get that to run I assume that would be the cheapest. But of course, it's an iOS port so it's probably trash.

Not sure. Maybe I'll do it with my releases, I dunno. I don't exactly release any high profile stuff though, and I typically just avoid torrents because I'm afraid of getting a scary letter from my ISP. Perhaps that's unwise though.

Damn, nice. You have backups of this in case it gets taken down, right? I'd back it up myself, but storage space is a premium for me. Part of why I mainly deal in ROMs for older systems. That and aftermarket games for older systems are not well-preserved, especially older physical aftermarket releases.

Are funny stock images or something fine? I have some reservations about AI art.
