The fate of RetroFusion

Yes, we've been full of dreams & broken promises. I've been too busy in my life to sit down & focus on nothing but the site. The only thing that's stopping me is money, money, & money. Once I get a job then everything, & I mean everything would come true. I actually haven't been dead though. I've been doing stuff on the LiveStream including complete playthroughs of games & whatnot. I've added my first two video reviews. They could be better but whatever. I have no video making skills & I think I did a pretty good job for my first time until my budget becomes more expendable & I could finally build that dream computer I've always wanted. This whole summer I've been attending a summer semester at college & was in an internship. My fall schedule which is starting in exactly two weeks is gonna be kinda heavy but I plan on squeezing a job into my schedule. I'll try not to overwork myself. Once I get the first paycheck then boom. We can actually purchase a domain to host our own site with our own rules & no limitations. This forum is fine but after experience vBulletin on numerous sites I believe that would prove useful to most users. I know this site is dead, there are lack of members, let alone this forum isn't easy to find, but time is of the essence. Yes, I'll admit, this community looks like a stupid failure attempt to open a site. Yes it started out on a narrow topic. Yes this site hasn't progressed much yet. Now, this site is dedicated to all things retro. Now, once I get the resources I need it will go towards RetroFusion. It is hard to find good help these days, I know. People have lives as well. It's not like I'm forcing anyone to help though. We do have members. I converse with them on our TeamSpeak server but none of them go to this forum. We'll send a mass e-mail to all our members if they are interested in returning when & only when we actually get things running. Sorry if I disappointed anyone who came here & left. I just hope I can create a successful community dedicated to retro video games because it is something that I love. Also because I enjoy networking with fellow retro gamers.

I feel the same way, ATB. My online life has taken a dive as well, what with college and all. Good news is that I've finally graduated; bad news is I still haven't found a job yet. I've been on more and more recently, but once I find a job (if I find one at this rate), I can't say for sure whether I'll have to curtail or not. However, I will not in all good conscience let this site die. After all, as Neil Young said; "It's better to burn out than fade away!"
