All the best of luck to them. I'm not sure it's wise to add more sites instead of concentrating resources, but one more is better than none! :)

We saw couple of times what can happen if ressources are concentrated. They get wiped out in one strike...
I think it's a good idea to have alternatives and the site is really nice :)

Does this site has something special, which CPC-Wiki.eu or CpcGamereviews.com doesn't have?
I don't know, if it's good, when forces of the hobby-scene are splitted up too much on several equal projects?
CU,

Quote from: TFM/FSWe saw couple of times what can happen if ressources are concentrated. They get wiped out in one strike...Well, true, but we only saw that one time I think. Yes, it's the "don't put all your eggs in one basket" think, but when you only have, say, a couple of eggs (=limited resources) you don't use two baskets...

A larger scene, like the Spectrum one, can afford duplication of effort and stuff - it's good to experiment and something good comes out of it. But when there's only a handful of persons, it gets different.

I keep my Dizzy tapes in a different basket than my Chuckie Egg tape. You can't be too careful :D

Baskets? Take two and your backbone stays straight, else you get crippled. As we say... Only the donkey runs once ;)
To bring it from the metaphoric level to the intelectual level... is it a question of: Dictatorship versus Democracy? Probably/hopefully not. So why - the heck - is it a bad thing to have another CPC page? Do you like to have a c64 page rather than this nice site? I don't understand the problem here.
And ... during the past years I saw a couple of CPC pages disappear, not only one. A pity for all of them.

It's not a dictatorship vs democracy, far from it. To use your metaphor, it would be more like having one of either versus a multitude of either.
