I have a ProBoard set up for Olde School, The Citadel of Chaos (http://oldeschool.proboards105.com/). I tried a sub-board structure to see how things go with that, and if it doesn't make people want to claw their eyes out, I will do something in that direction when I move to the big time of setting up a domain and regular forum software. Likely a portal, definately files, possibly blogs.
So, delve into the Citadel and see how it looks.
I messed up the url tag. Now it's fixed. Journey to the Citadel, and get your Olde School fix!
Looks good, but for Classic D&D, I'm surprised that there is no separate forum for B/X D&D (the Moldvay/Cook rules from 1981; the version with the Erol Otus covers). It would make sense to have a separate forum for that version, since its rules differ somewhat from BECMI/RC D&D.
In contrast, I don't understand why BECMI and RC have separate forums, since they're pretty much identical.

Yeah, it's kind of tricky, like Traveller. I was thinking of merging RC and BECMI anyway, I guess Moldvay/Cook is just as good a category.
I was shooting for the 80s era stuff, it seems to be a bit under-represented, so the whole Holmes edition thing is a bit outside of that, but I didn't notice it getting any love anywhere else, and it makes the D&D category look a bit fuller. Now I need to find a few more boards for the AD&D category.
i like, i'll have to think of stuff to contribute. of course i see this as the semester's about to start >.<

Don't feel too badly, I didn't realize how close it was to the start of school myself. :)
If you just want to get some discussions going until you have something put together, that is great too!
Hey, we have some planets for use with Traveller posted! Star Frontiers information, links to the Star Frontiersman, as well as links to download retro-clones and classic games materials. Soon, the alpha version of Alternate Character Sets, my own OSRIC contribution, will be posted!
Don't be the last one to get in on the Olde School action!
