New owner for Atari-Home (01.05.2020 - 12:00 Uhr)

The Atari Home Forum will continue to exist - in an unaltered form, as Johannes Hädrich has confirmed in the corresponding forum thread. Hädrich had announced last year that he wanted to discontinue the forum, but had given several months time to find a successor. However, this successor had to meet a number of conditions. On January 14, he announced that the Verein zum Erhalt klassischer Computer e.V. would take over the forum. The club publishes the Load magazine and operates its own forum. The Atari computers have two subforums of their own there, but with 2100 posts in 220 threads it is no comparison to the Atari Home Forum, where even the relatively young subforum of the ST-Computer has 1700 posts in 57 threads. In the future, the club will take over the role from Hädrich, but will not integrate the Atari-Home forum into that of the VzEkC. Since February 27th the registration of new users is possible again.
