hello to all the smart and beautiful members of c/retronet

When I initially created this community I threw together a basic icon, banner, ruleset, and description just to set things in motion

Now that we've got a few hundred people subscribed I'd like to ask if anyone wants to nominate new and more permanent fixtures

If you are graphically inclined: you can recommend a new community icon or banner. I believe banners are 966x240 resolution (EDIT: lemmy updates seem to be changing banner resolutions, so this may be in flux) Icons seem to be max of 120x120

If you are good at words: feel free to recommend a better or more concise ruleset, or short description.

The short description appears in search results so it can be helpful for new users who are looking for communities, but I didn't want it to be too wordy either. It is currently 'Vintage Culture/Websites/Software'

P.S. I haven't needed to take any moderator actions but if anyone would like to volunteer for mod-duty leave a comment below and I'll mod you since I'm (surprisingly) not online 24 hours a day and who knows when the bots and spammers will arrive

thanks!

I tried to find some images that were more cohesive and 'retro net' looking than the originals

I'm still open to any artists creating better ones, but I think these are at least decent enough for now
