At some point over the month or two, the forums are going to move from their current home at http://68kmla.org/ to a brand spankin' new server and (not so new) web address at http://68kmla.org/. We don't expect the actual downtime to be more than 24 hours, but due to DNS caching issues it could...

Since it's such a common vector for SPAM attacks, external links in signatures have now been disabled. You can still link to pages on the MLA wiki using the wiki tags (see here) and also to topics and posts on the forums using the topic and post tags by entering the topic/post ID (which is shown...

Well guys (and girls), I think everyone here would agree that the atmosphere on the forum (and the Lounge in particular) has been a little sucky of late. I thought I'd take a few minutes to write down my thoughts on the matter, with the hope that it'll make you guys think again about yours...

Please note that this forum is not intended to be used as a place to request downloads of copyrighted software for older machines. While we understand that it is hard to find some pieces of software, there are a number of repositories of older "abandonware" out there that are worth searching...

As part of on-going efforts to generally improve the forums, we have decided to make some changes to what is allowed to be discussed in the Conquests, Software/*NIX and Peripherals forums. These forums are going to be tightened down to only cover topics relevant to vintage (specifically 68k and...

Well, I hope everyone enjoyed their mid-year forum detox... ...seriously though, sorry for the brief service interruption. Basically, since the 12th of last month I was getting an insane number of hits on one particularly large file on my server (that's nothing to do with the MLA) and that...

The 68kMLA Forum Rules have been updated today, and the main addition is this clause: The number of threads we've had recently that serve no purpose other than to bash eBay sellers for either not knowing much about the item they're selling or for pricing it too high is simply unacceptable...

Well, since we have custom BBCode abilities on the forums, I thought I'd test it by adding some shortcuts to the MLA Wiki. You should be able to link to any page on the Wiki. Thoughts? Macintosh II ...view on the 68kMLA Wiki... Macintosh II ...view on the 68kMLA Wiki...

In case you haven't noticed, we've upgraded the forums to phpBB3. Quite a lot has changed, so feel free to have a look around and see what's new. There could well be bugs cropping up with the new system, so please report them in the Bug Tracker: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=24 The old forum archive...

I haven't done one of these for a while, so just a quick note to say that I have just done a purge of all the inactive* accounts from the forums. I have left those under a week old to allow people who have just registered to become involved. We do this occasionally as a spam prevention measure...

Well, the domain was supposed to be renewed last night... but I guess something went wrong with it. Until we get it sorted, the forums will be up here at 68kmla.com. Sorry about the inconvenience! Tom

Hey everybody, I hate to resort to this shameless begging, but here goes... We aim to provide this site as a free resource but, as I'm sure you can imagine, we do have a few overheads associated with running this forum, the Wiki, the RetroChallenge site, etc. Hosting and domains cost real money...

I'm very happy to announce that Cory (Cory5412) has been promoted to General on the forums to help with day to day running of the forums. He joins our crack team of moderators to help keep off the hordes of spam-bots and cross-posting n00bs at bay [;)] ]'> *Raises his glass* Welcome to the...

It seems Apache 2.2 broke a few things with the .htaccess files from previous versions, so when my host upgraded today the forums went down. Oops! Hopefully it won't happen again! [:)] ]'>

I know we've barely finished with this year's 'challenge... but I guess the sooner we start preparing for next year the better! It's probably a good to keep the momentum up and get a few details sorted out now. All in all, I'd say that this year was a resounding success. Congrats and many...

Well I was a little bored yesterday, and remembered that I had a CafePress account from way back when... so... http://www.cafepress.com/68kmla_store I went for some feets inspired designs -- the classic slogan and the inevitable "got milk?" parody. If anyone has any other ideas for products...

Well what do you think, should we keep the Wiki 68k only? Or should we extend it to cover PPCs and other vintage machines? Since the forums cover PPCs, then I think it'd be logical to cover them on the Wiki as well...

Well this has been a "pet project" of mine for a while now. I've started getting a general layout in place, but it's still far from there. I haven't had much time or inspiration to work on it lately, so I've decided to just go ahead and announce it! First a little background. There has been...

After much deliberation, the forums now have a new set of rules: http://68kmla.org/forums/rules.php Please make yourself familiar with them, though they're mostly common sense. Certainly, no one is regularly breaking them at the moment. We just thought it'd be good to have some general rules...

Well, we're back up and running - albeit with a fresh install and in a slightly different location! Sorry about the huge delay in getting this ship back in the water, but we're back... and hopefully better than ever. You may notice that the forums look a bit different - please bear with me...
