+save2600 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Lemonamiga down as well. Says "Temporarily Offline, will be back soon"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhite2600 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Must be an issue with the hosting. Maybe the hosting has not been paid. The domain for lemonamiga.com expires on June 2, 2014. lomon64.com expires on May 23, 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterMsk Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 @hammerhead I agree. I was just about to post information that someone requested and then I saw the message "Temporarily Offline, will be back soon". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Synergy Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Still down ... anyone have any info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steverd Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 It's still down... Arghh Do they need a new host? New owner or what? I run severial message forums (with Xenforo software) I could take over. Or start a new classic computer board/forum. Not sure another one would take off though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I believe Kim Lemon is looking for new hosting, so something fundamental must have happened to require that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradroid90 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I agree Mayhem, something major must have happened but I am sure Kim will get it addressed soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So could I and 2/3rd's of the people that were on Lemon64... my hosting service can auto install the exact same forum software and have it up and running in under 10 min...so ya, the real trick is getting people there,and then keeping them. -John- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ALOT of work to get people to actually use a new forum. Very Rare for a new forum to catch on. I've been there more than once!!!

hammerhead Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Yep, also Lemon has existed since the 90's and is a huge repository of Commodore information and opinion. Anyone searching for specific info on the C64 or Amiga will likely find Lemon in the first page of results, if not at the top. No new forum/site is going to achive that level of penetration (oo-err) anytime soon. It'd be a huge shame if it were gone for good as - like Atari - Commodore has a huge following with people still developing software and hardware. It needs a home. Ah, I'm sure it'll be back online soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+frankodragon Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 This page says it's safe, no viruses, etc. Yet it's worth $54,224 USD http://www.seomastering.com/audit/lemon64.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban Space Cowboy Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Card-carrying Commies need not panic. There's still The C-64 Scene Database and Commodore.ca and Landover BBS and Plus/4 World and Commodore16.com and Forum64 (German) and Ready64 (Italian) and Commodore64.se (Swedish) and supernumerary IRC channels and telnet BBSes. Oh and there's Atari Age too, but you knew that. If you want chat you got it. Personally I'm more concerned that cbm8bit.com's disk search engine fell over and went boom. Of course, most of that stuff is just mirrored from SceneBase, anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMsk Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Actually, I am quite impressed with http://awesome.commodore.me/forum/ forums. More talking about all commodore products versus just the Commodore 64, thou. However, there is a Commodore 64 section. The people that run this forum are actually pretty active as well. I see Kitty every once in a while on the Slay Radio IRC when the BBB is on. The front page actually stays current on new items for the Commodore as well. If Lemon does not come back up, I'll be their and on the scene database site (for Commodore 64 related items anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegamezmaster Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Checked out some of the other sites. Pretty cool! But still miss Lemon64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) I used to visit lemon a lot a decade or more ago and contributed some reviews that got me a few thanks from old programmers. lol Its a great source of information hopefully it gets back online soon.

+save2600 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Really hoping the great LemonAmiga site gets back soon too. Relied on it heavily to make purchasing decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubelindo Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Lemon64 has always been my reference for C64. I have my collection listed there. It's my first stop to learn about a game (if it is not listed I go to Gamebase64) For me it's the same as AtariAge for Atari related stuff. I really hope Kim kicks it back online!

H.E.R.O. Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I do hope it comes back. Best unnamed feature of that forum is you could describe a game in even the barest terms and someone would chime in "Oh, it's THAT game". Had to do that twice. Once for Hero of the Golden Talisman and then again for Wizzard's Lair and even found out about Nebraska Joe from a guess and that game is fun as hell. Invaluable resource.
