8 BIT AWESOME IS LAUNCHED
http://8bitawesome.blogspot.com/
Sorry, its blogspot for now, but it will be domain and custom soon.
:]

Ever since I was about 7 years old, I have wanted a website.
One about gaming news, journalism, animations, etc.
I now have the ability to create that dream, yet it is so close, yet so far.
Ive wanted the site to be called 8 Bit Awesome.
And, heres what will happen.


If, on a very, very VERY good day, I will ask my parents to let me make a website with their credit card.
And if this happens, I will add 6 or 7 spp members on the team.
It will have articles about games, movies, pretty much just media in general.
Talk about the new camera that just came out, or your favorite movie.
Articles will be made by you.


There may also be a forum, or just simply a comment section for each article made.
There will be maybe, an audio or video show each week.
And top ten lists for best media/ electronics/ games/ news/ whatever of the past week.
Anyone want to sign up?

Nominees
Give me an example of your work so you can qualify.

An informer: Ash (he didnt ask, but he would be a good role I think), Nukem, MoD.
A European: Raffeh, Rawr.
An Australian: Who here is Australian?
North American Ren, Spitzer, Nodd.
A likable bully: Miniman (He won before it even started)
A black man: Spazzy... anyone else who is black, pm me.
A really good writer: Schall, Nominate yourself or others, one of you will be in here as well as a runner up from one of the other nominees.

So far, Demiangel is site html coder, anyone else wants to try, give me a shout.

Not sure.
Maybe they will be live recorded.
Maybe they will be parodies.
We will figure out when time passes.

I want in. Pwease?

You can get a free domain name for a year by doing this.

Quote from From Another Forum I go to
Read this whole thread!

Register.com is waiving the fee on domains for the first year for free.

You can sign-up below:
http://www.register.com/promo/acquis...kID=EMAoFkNb1W

After you register the domain make sure you shut off auto renew

After 60 days you can transfer the domain to another domain registrar to avoid paying their high fees after the first year.

You must have a credit card to sign-up, just be sure to cancel the auto renew so you will not forget in a year and be charged for the renewal

They automatically add something worth $9 to your shopping cart on check out, just go in and remove it.

I'll leave this thread open until I'm notified of the deal being over.

I'd love to help write. It sounds like fun, but I don't know what I'd be able to write about since I'm not very informed about much.

That would look good, but it would only show one of the things that the site is about.
