Thanks for the hug of death HN :-)

Unfortunately the folks taking care of the hosting aren’t yet aware of the problem as it is sleepy time here in EU.

In the mid 2000s I built the majority of what you see now but it has generally been out of my hands for a number of years after Scenesat demoscene radio took on the hosting keeping it alive with their love and the generous public’s donations, so that I could pursue other interests.

After keeping the fires going for the better part of 20 years it is tradition to pass the baton.

It was nice to see it posted here- The former modarchive.com that I helped support until it’s admin moved on was slashdotted back in the day with similar effects. I’m personally pleased to see my incarnation also get the hugs.

There’s an awful Easter egg site re-theme on an ancient test page located https://modarchive.org/?mp3

Thank you! Tracker music was a,large part of my youth; it's great to he able to find old known tracks, and also discover new gems among the old ones.

(And it's great to see chiptune scene alive and kicking at various places.)

The chip scene has indeed grown in scale since the 2000s began, I shared a few beers with the guy who did the Commodordion and he’s one of many reaching youth with what I think many have come to consider modern folk.

Battle of the Bits is a unique and wonderful community plugged to the core by chiptune. I do recall their logo nicely visible on the reddit r/place thing recently which says a lot about the number of participants chipping away!

It's strange how they keep popping up in the most unlikely of places.

First it was a bunch of Russian bootleg MegaDrive games stealing BotB tunes that were included as demos with Shiru's TFM Music Maker.

Then there was a game jam where they all made really excellent TIC-80 games.
