Should we care about that site?

Why should we move from a well established site with massive amounts of quality content and many active users and start supporting another site which hasn't very much to offer?

Well, while I understand the logic, I can't see how this would be possible for every site out there. Why not concentrate, for instance on RG's forum instead of every other site we find out there?

Because it spreads the information across many different sites so that you need to find every site to have all information. Having a central place where the majority of information is stored/discussed makes it alot easier to find what you want.

Well, I don't know Giant Bomb. Can s/o give back infos? Is it Z80 related? Or CPC related? Looks like a gaming related site.  :)

Why does it cost so much to host the site...?

Is it storage size or bandwidth required?

@Redbox: bandwidth and storage - we are about 60GB by now :D

:D

Someone visiting that site might get the impression that no one is interested in the CPC nowadays.

Someone ought to reply: "Most CPC users are at cpcwiki.eu/forum and pushnpop.net these days".

Because they gave up looking after clicking on one site?? If they know even the most basic basics of the internet, they will realise from a simple search where the CPC people meet.

Right, impression and a matter of fact. Of the worlds population probably only one out of a million knows what a CPC is (world population 7.26 billion currently).  :-X

Well thanks to the Giant Bomb I found a game called "Jim Power in Mutant Planet" that Loriciel released in 1992, had no idea the game ever existed, feel like I should talk up the game (http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/games/game's-that-you-feel-need-more-recognition-!/msg73358/#msg73358).

Well it could be added to the Loriciel games page with a Link to CPC-Power Page which has stacks of info about it.

EDIT: It's now been included in the Software Releases for the CPC section on the Loriciel page.
