i guess the old warzone 2100 site forums are gone...

Post by lav_coyote25 »

someone took the forums down too bad... the old information site is still up and available... ( http://warzone2100.strategyplanet.gamespy.com/

makes me wonder why it was taken down :(  ...  as the old site is also available on the wf site (http://worldforceclan.com/warzone2100/index.html )

i tried to register on the wf forums to ask why - and was promptly advised that i was not welcome...  just to advice - i was also helping to answer questions on the old forums - i guess i helped too much or something... cause i sure as hell wasnt advised of being persona non grata to my face...  oh well... no problem!!!  less bull sh_t... to put up with from the owner of wf site.

Coyote, from the looks of it, I'd say it's nothing personal as the forums seem to have evaporated..  Do you have a direct link to them?

And DevUrandom, thanks for the clarification on PhysFS, I wasn't sure what it can and can't do.
The best thing to do when your philosophies don't stand up to debate is to lock the thread and claim victory.

* It was the old WZ original HP & domain but those vanished forums didnot contain the 25,000 + posts from the original Pumpkin moderated Xtreme WZ bbs.

* Those original 25, 000 + post Pumpkin bbs, IMHO, were a treasure trove that the subsequent Fileplanet forums didn't even come within an iota of replacing (they were so pale and lifeless in comparison it made me sad to visit them).

* But the FP bbs did help get newbs oriented for a spell of years to were the WZ lifeblood was actually pulsing. That functionality has been effectively supplanted by this and other vital community sites, IMO.

* GameSpy looks to have gone with a more streamlined organization by making their forums Genre-Based rather individual titles (which may or may not have the same appeal to game fans).

* The person who was moderating the File Planet WZ bbs is in the WorldForce Clan, if I recall. I don't see where he is still part of the GameSpy re-org and if that's the case he may have lost his annual ticks to the E3 show which could have put him in a bad mood - perhaps even a misplaced vindictiveness (ergo the no welcome to the WFC reg.).

* But that is speculation on my part. WFC has done a lot for the  Wz community over years.

* One peep esp outta that group is more missed (from my PoV, anyway) than those FP bbs - & that would be NiKer.

* Lav C - you know what's up with the Nikester ? Just wondering if he's doing OK.....

Lav you need to get the story correct no one told you are not welcome. I answered you as when I saw your thread. Here is the thread where does it say F off lav http://www.worldforceclan.com/phpBB2/vi ... .php?t=412 ? Yes Forum Planet deleted just about all off the forums except for a few current games. No warning nothing just deleted. lav I appreciate you help on the WZ forum but not you saying you were told to F off from the WF forum when it's not true. The Pumpkin moderated Xtreme WZ bbs is still in the directory of the warzone2100 site just not sure how to get it working. All kinda little goodies buried in there. It's a real mess very hard to find out how it is all put together. Somehow the site works but it's a real jigsaw puzzle. Then they moved it to a new server and broke a bunch off stuff which is now fixed. I have the site on a CD and backed up on my comp in case they decide to deleted it.
It's all about money for Game Spy so as long as the site is getting traffic they will keep it live.
My first and last post here.
