I'm no longer an active participant on the forums. I'll be posting my own Atari stuff elsewhere. But, having said that... feel free to PM me here - I'm always happy to answer questions.

If you anticipate wanting to contact me, please note my email address andrew@taswegian.com
Although a knee-jerk reaction, I have considered how I would respond once this sale/acquisition was confirmed. I'm not interested in any way supporting Atari. They did wrong by me and it still smarts.
So I expect I may disappear from this site. I'll mull over it for a few days. But basically, fuck it.

As I like to point out, is the "Atari" that hurt you THIS current Atari, or one of the various Ataris in the past?
I learned somewhere along the way, probably around 2008, that the childhood memories I had with Atari stuff, and the corporation calling itself "Atari" was not the same.
So I get in a minor way the "did wrong by me" comment. I remember when the Atari back then came down on some people wanting to develop games and getting the good ole C&D. Was a valuable reminder that these memories were not just fun in our heads, but active properties still of some people still hoping to make a buck.
Selling this place to Atari is about akin to crossing the streams. It is good to separate what you care about from business. And very rarely do hobby and corporate money mix well.
