The latest happenings
I've always wondered what goes through people's heads when they spam an entire forum with mindless, useless stuff. At the same time, now I've had the pleasure of feeling the same way (almost). Tonight I spent a lot of time searching through any Sega or classic gaming boards, trying to get out the message about the NetLink League. It's hard to find other users. The few I did find say things such as "Well, I've got a NetLink, but sorry, it's a waste of time and money to play a NetLink game on a landline phone, blah blah blah. It's a waste of time if you're totally unapreciative of some awesome old school fun. The Netlink is a great little device, and on top of that, I'm sure many people would love to have one given the opportunity.
Which is why I'm going to keep trying to get people to know about this. Finding NetLink users willing to play only gets harder as time goes on, so its critical that the word get spread now. If you guys can, please inform people however you can. Thanks a lot, and I'm going to keep up with my efforts.
Btw, welcome to our newest member, Mateoman

Yeah its always gonna be an uphill battle with this sort of thing...most people just see it as being old and out dated...but there will also always be a small group of people who will be interested and those are the people that we need to reach. I have mentioned the new site on a number of other websites, but with little impact...but over time those all posting may well produce new members.
We can only hope...im sure this place will grow

Ah! Good to see the site up again guys , everytime it comes back online it just looks better and better (I really digg the clean layout).
I think we all appreciate what you're doing Xranger, and it must be really tough to show people the value in using a netlink.
But if by some chance they ever get to experience that single teeth-gritting 1on1, win by a nose race in Sega Rally...I'm sure they'd come around.
Congrats on keeping the site going!

Thanks . I think so far the most people prefer this new layout. It's a good base for adding on the rest of the stuff I want to get on here, like more screenshots, guides, reviews etc.Cidus wrote:Ah!

And I appreciate you guys coming by here and sharing your views and joining this community. It's great that there are people that still appreciate what NetLink is all about.I think we all appreciate what you're doing Xranger, and it must be really tough to show people the value in using a netlink.
I agree. Oh, and let's get that NetLink game in sometime soon!But if by some chance they ever get to experience that single teeth-gritting 1on1, win by a nose race in Sega Rally...I'm sure they'd come around.

Before the site got deleted last time, Cidus and I were going to set up a game since he's right near me, and I have relatives in the same town as him, meaning for the first time in my NetLink career I could play a game that didn't cost long distance. So we will get that going soon, very glad he's back.

Yeah thats true...no doubt when we do start playing it will be a very regular thing...we currently play online with Dreamcast 5 nights a week...so no doubt the saturn will be included in our schedualCidus wrote:Yup anytime you're ready dude.
It stinks that you're so far away segadreamcaster, it'd be great to get some matches going. But at least you've got someone close and 1 is all you really need.
