Foxhound Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Just thought I would drop this by and see what's up with this? The main site seems to have shut it's doors. Just wondering if this has been noted or not. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Wow @war is closed for good Thank you for all the good times. It was a blast while it lasted. We have faithfully been at the service of all you gamers for the last 5 years but in all that time have receive not a single word of thanks from you ungrateful lot. And not even a dime - not a single ######ing dime. And whats more, all we get is a whole lot of whining and biatching. So thats it. We sick of it...and sick of you. Lots of Love @war Ps: If you wanna say sorry or better still, have a dime to spare, send it to Akira. His kid has been starving ever since he sat in front of that godamn pc 5 years ago. He has not got up from that seat since. I am, speechless. I see Akira on ICQ and occasionally we drop a message but I had no clue this was coming. It sounds like there was an argument or something that got out of control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Over the past few months I hadn't noticed anything that would have indicated this was on the horizon, but I do remember reading some of Akira's newsposts and thinking "Akira wrote that?", some of the posts just didn't sound like the old Akira.

Rocky Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Unless, as Pave just pointed out to me, todays date has something to do with it. I could think of funnier ways of pulling it off if it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteKnight77 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Holy cow. They had some stuff for even R6/RS that couldn't be found anywhere else. That is a big loss to the TC series of games. Such a shame that they had to close. Best of luck to Akira. [edit]That could very well be Rocky. Let's hope that it is and if not, my previous statement stands.[/edit] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxhound Posted April 1, 2005 Author Share Posted April 1, 2005 I have to be honest it caught me off guard as well. These guys have been doing great work for the community as a whole for the past few years. I have to admit that I've never mentioned anything in their forums (As I rarely do) nor have I sent any money. They've provided me with a service that I'll surely miss. If you see him again Rocky pass on a belated thanks from me. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornToKill Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 I think it may be an April Fools joke, rather like my JOKE about GR2 Official announcement that got deleted.Some of us try to maintain a sense of humour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pave Low Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 I haven't been there for a while so no idea how long the message has been up and I'm clinging to the slim hope that it is a really bad April fools joke for now. It would be such a damn shame if it is true, and as WK pointed out they had an almost irreplaceable line-up of D/L's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

en4rcment Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 My bet is an April Fool's joke. I mean c'mon. Who seriously shuts down their site for good on April 1st? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Yeh, after thinking about it for a few hours, and one unreplied PM, I'm pretty sure it is an April Fool. A little too close to the bone perhaps, that's what threw me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osokdfgr Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 If it is an April fools joke (Who closes their site on April 1st?) I think its a bit too far. We'll see tomorrow/later today I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
