Alright, this is meant to be a successor to /y2k/ on the old 8chan, however I have expanded it to include both the 1990's and the 2000's and NSFW content is allowed, provided it's actually related to the purpose of this board and doesn't violate any of the site's core rules.

Not gonna lie, DMC3 was an awesome game. It's in a close second only to the first DMC itself IMO.

Also, anyone here remember Dino Crisis? That was one of Capcom's forgotten gems. 

Well, the first two games and the Gun Survivor spin-off anyway. 

DC3 sucked balls and killed the franchise.

Hmm, now that Capcom has finally done the impossible and made Resident Evil good again, they can bring back Dino Crisis?
Alright, after seeing how the Late 2000's thread has turned to shit, I figured it's time for a new rule.


1. No incessant political sperging or conspiracy theories. 


Unless the subject is directly related to current political trends (like comparing current media to media from the 1990's and 2000's) then it's not wanted here.


Keep /pol/ confined to /pol/ (or /fascist/, as it would be in our case)

The 80's were overrated as fuck. Music was good, but 1980's nostalgia is an even bigger dead horse than 1950's nostalgia was at its peak.

But I could understand having 80's nostalgia in a single containment thread or maybe there could be an expansion to include 80's stuff too, since the board used to be 2000's only on the old site, but now it's 90's and 2000's.

I just bought a Sony Sports Walkman from someone, he'll send it in the post. It should be arriving pretty soon, it's a WM-F45 I believe. Should be a hell of a player! It's even water resistant. You can dunk it and it'll be fine, so it's perfect for the gym.

I was going to make a football board, with an archive thread of past football players and their skills, but in light of recent events i will make it some other day/year.

>>373
to re-post what was lost, yes it arrived in the mail (like 4 months ago) and it's still going strong! Sony really made some good stuff.
I changed the CSS to Nineties Cheese to give the board a bit of a unique look, but if anyone doesn't want it please say so.

How about this?
400GBs of horror/action movies from 80s/90s, all VHS rips.

I can see what you were going for, but there are too many beveled buttons where there shouldn't be, and also some misalignment in certain elements like thumbnails.

Hello anons. I made the CSS for this board back in the Julay days, but over time I have grown to dislike it. I think it's not authentic to how 1990s websites looked and mixes modern styles with retro ones... For one it's too colorful and the colors are desaturated, plus it heavily uses icons in the form of Unicode glyphs, which modern operating systems automatically convert to emojis. Also it scales horribly on mobile, something I didn't care about when I first designed it. Ironically now I'm away from home for most of the day due to work so I'm using my phone more, and I ended up just reverting to the Yotsuba CSS theme because this one is just so uncomfortable to use.
But the thing I hate the most is that it doesn't work well on LynxChan, specifically the captcha whose field is half hidden and the buttons that lost their icons. Ideally I'd prefer if anon.cafe migrated to JSchan like other IBs on the webring, but if that's not possible then a new theme from scratch is due... This is, of course, a gargantuan task so I'd love to get the consensus of anons here beforehand.

>do you like the current CSS theme?
>what do you like/dislike about it?
>if a new theme was made, how do you want it to look?
>is the BO still active to make changes to the CSS?

I think you should do as you see fit Anon. I'm not a close-knit part of your community only having met you all back on Julay. However, it's apparent to me that you both think more about this probably than others, and understand /retro/'s particular issues here better than most. Hope that helped, Anon.

Cheers :^)
>>2743
Usually i only browse at home as i see it anathema to do in public or away so not a lot of problems in my case.
I do like it but i can see it being helped with some minor usability fixes, being modern in some instances i don't mind as long as it works better, vast majority of us back then would have liked some features we have as long as it didn't meddle with the "purity" of the concepts/intentions... at least in my experience and by that i mean "same thing but faster/better" rather than "faster but different and lacks x"
>Lynx vs. JS
I agree there, still because you are the CSS creator i also agree with anon above, you are the chief there and if there was an actual problem we should pinpoint it very well to communicate it properly.

Hello to all the Time Travellers, love what you guys are doing here. No pandering; I believe anachronism is the highest form of rebellion.

I'm Newt (no relation to Jewt), the new owner of /agdg/ - pardon my avatarfagging. I wanted to reach out to this community and extend a formal invitation, actually more of a request for assistance, to come post on /agdg/. While posting activity is at the time limited to pretty much myself (I'm doing the 2.5D isometric ARPG/CRPG) and a few others, I'd like to think that we're representative of the typical anon's indie game you'll see on the board - reasonably-scoped with a throwback style. Platformers, RTS, ARPG, shoot-em-ups, beat-em-ups, very much '90 to '05 era. I would appreciate it if anyone interested in developing games in a retro style (or any game really) could drop by and check us out. Don't worry if you have nothing to show yet or don't even know how to get started, just drop in the meta thread and say hi and what you'd like to do or what you're interested in seeing and I'm sure something will be able to straighten you out. I personally can help with 2D game development using the excellent and free Raylib - https://www.raylib.com/ - incredibly easy to get started with and powerful. Other anons may be able to help you out if you insist on using a modern engine.  

>but dead board tho
Tell me about it. No really, I'm trying to get things active again and I'm open to any and all suggestions. I have ideas for more discussion topics and board activities as well, but I can't do everything myself. Anyway, come on over.

Are they from the 90s or 2000s? Then post them in the vidya, computer etc threads. Otherwise just use the "Modern /retro/ material that actually does it right" thread.
/retro/ was hit by a slide attack. Since it didn't have a thread limit set or Early 404 turned on, all threads were completely wiped.

Luckily, we had a backup of this particular board. This copy of /retro/ is from early June.

The current Board Owner now has control of /retro/ back, although we turned on Early 404 and set hourly threads to 1 while we had control to restore the backup. The anti-slide features are there, so please use them. Next time, there might not always be backups, or the backups might not be restorable.

When certain elites want to degenerate targeted groups, they go after their history, their heritage, as one of the first things. If you forget your past and who you are as a people, then you are much more easily manipulated into swalloping any old lie they want to send down the pike against you. 1984-101 tbh.

We've seen it before in various way, and they'll send their goons troons out to do it again. But you have plenty of power in this regard against them if you're proactive about it, knowing the evil they'll work ahead of time.

This is why I advocate backing up your entire boards locally. Either using cURL, wget, or BUMP. Then if something happens to either your board, or even your whole site, you can rebuild it again from scratch.

I saved all the  "Modern /retro/ material that actually does it right"posts in a text file (without the images, naturally; all I have are the file names) from before that faggot finally managed to slide it off the board.

The problem is that I don't have the images to go with your post. I can repost other people's stuff if they don't want to post them again, but things might get complicated with the way some of the posts are responding to images that aren't up anymore.

I made a new thread since I think this is serious and should catch people's attention. >>3664

Goddamn look look at those beautiful images, feels just like home, doesn't it?

A couple important things you should know: the new thread limit is 1 per hour and captcha triggers after 2 posts per hour. This may seem unnecessary but I'm not taking any chances, the captcha isn't as bad here and they both reset after an hour. I must say I really like the modding tools and all the settings on jschan, there are 33 themes so I'm sure you can find at least one you'll like, or here is the 90s cheese CSS if you want it back, feel free to make it jschan compatible:

Welcome aboard /retro/, I like the mod tools myself.
Chobitsu have suggested me to help on adapting the CSS on jschan. Despite I think the Win95 one fits perfectly the board theme, I will work on it if some fellow time travelers want to have it back here on Trashchan.

I originally wrote Nineties Cheese for Julay which IIRC was on jschan, so the theme should work out of the box. It might need some bug fixing though... Let me know what you guys will go for and if there's anything I can help with.
P.S. anything would be better than the Win95 theme, it's way too cluttered.

>I originally wrote Nineties Cheese for Julay which IIRC was on jschan
Nice work!

So, I was on Julay back in 2019 before it became nuJulay->AlogSpace->AlogsSpace . And as far as I can tell, Robi's place has been a LynxChan site since at least back to that era?

Regardless, our /comfy/ BO here is clearly skilled at adapting his LynxChan CSS to work pretty well here on a JSchan server.
>>>/comfy/

So happy to have you as neighbors again, /retro/ !  Cheers.  :)
I never liked nineties cheese and I will keep using this windows theme

Thanks a million, Bo. Were there any interesting hiccups during the process?
Replies: >>3820
>>3807
Yes, please do. It was one of my favorite things about the old /retro/ board, right down to making reading threads a pain in the neck.

>>3809
Julay used Lynxchan, which is significantly worse. Stephen Lynx is a nigger.

>>3812
That's the nice thing about JSchan having so many inbuilt themes. Pick what you want, when you want.

Actually the first attempt was unsuccessful as a bunch of images were still missing but the admin was nice enough to fix it and redo the entire process. It's good to have an admin who cares.

Yes indeed. Doesn't he also have some coding chops?

Yep that's the other thing, I don't think we could have had our files restored anywhere else.

I think you're correct, in essence. Trashmin is both 'willing and able', and that's saying something today. Certainly there are other technical talents on the webring, but the 'willing' is sadly lacking for the most part now, AFAICT.

Regardless, thank you Trashmin! Great work.
Are code tags supported here..?

Sorry for the delay but I'm really busy these days, I'm still thinking about working on the CSS tho.
Looks like all the cafe has made it out to Trash or ZZZ. Nice.

Or anon.garden for /pro/ and /lang/. /sw/ is in stasis here.
I think the only board that didn't get migrated was /valis/, which I'm only learning today while saving threads was a /vg/ outpost.
Their CSS is really nice. Maybe it can at least be recreated as a thread on /server/ when that board comes up and is fully functional.
Replies: >>4139 >>4148
How about instead of recreating 90s Cheese a new theme is designed?
I was thinking of a minimal web 1.0 theme with ASCII art/icons. For example >>3875 instead of the banner, and icons like these (WIP):
 _____       _____        ___        _   _      ___         /     /
| . . |     | ... |      / . \      |_| |_|     ______      \\\\\\\
|_ O__|     |_  __|     /  _  \      _   _      ____        /     /
  |/          |/        |_| |_|     |_| |_|     _______     \\\\\\\

Does it just need a BO?

Yeah. It's already migrated. It just needs someone to claim it as BO and then unlock it.

Got a friend who's set to do that...but who do you contact for that, and where?

All you have to do is send an email to the admin here with a login name.
Also drop a post on >>>/meta/64 requesting the board.
You probably want to wait until after anon.cafe closes because the Admin is trying to do some last minute migration and archiving stuff, including some stuff for /sw/.

Cheers anon, I was planning to release in full when the cafe shut down but IDK WTF is going on, if it's still up later I guess I'll do it anyway. Kind of a sad way for things to end when everything had been so organized up to this point.
