  1. Hey all, I have a project I would finally like to get some programmer help with.
    There's this site called battle of the bits, a place in the chiptune scene that is well known for battles, where it would be a music competition and people would battle to see who could make the best chiptune or chipmusic in the formats provided by battle rules.
    It's a place that has tuns of music in the original old chiptune and tracker formats, and sadly one that has no known off site backup unlike modland.
    I started archiving this site years ago by hand and my opendirectory looks to be the only directory for the battle of the bits work , but I can't keep doing this any longer.
    I also tried to get people interested into protecting the history and the culture of there community, but sadly that worked to little avail.
    Here's the forum post where I started to talk with them. Mind you I'm not a writer, so I had to stay up over night to spend a half a day just to write any of this.

    I was also trying to do this on Twitter as well, but that also didn't work so well.
    After looking at the API for BotB I was Wondering is someone or a group of people could help me to collect a point of BotB's history together? Here's the API. What we need is a way to get all entries from all battles, and that should be enough for round 1 of preserving BotB.

    I love chiptune and chipmusic, but I can't do this alone no more. I am very tired of seeing awesome sites for chiptune with very little people that have a good enough backup of what the site was like.

  2. we need a botb fedi account that announces new comps, periodically posts random tracks, and posts the results of each comp when they end

    unless that already exists
