All Good Thing Must Come to an End
« on: May 31, 2006, 05:35:20 PM »
Well,

Folks, I hate to tell you this but this board will probably cease to exist by 6/15/2006. 

I do not know how much it is to keep the board running nor why would anyone would be interested to keep this board going.  I think it maybe time to switch to plan b.  However, if anyone is interested and have the money and desire to keep this board going, the company that runs the board will not release that info until Lance say it is ok.

Sob...

That truely does suck. :(

As much as I haven't been around recently, I still check in, and it's a good place to keep in contact.

I wonder if Minirealms.com will accept a convoy of refugees?

I had tried  contacting Thom on several occassions to offer him help on keeping these up but he must have better things to do than talk to me. If it's not outrageous I would be willing to offer fundage to help keep this place going.

I'm sorry but... what so difficult about running a forum like this?
I have a forum exactly the same HERE.

When these forums eventually go down, you'll find a backup copy of all the messages on this forum through my forum. If you want to use it too, i'd be pleased. As long as Warzone doesn't die!

Problem is, I hate these forums, I think they are ugly.  Anyways, good call setting that up.  It is a bit more dedicated than what I had made.  My forums were for my games, but I have no issue sharing.

That's great chribu!  The only problem is that I couldn't find it.  Other then clicking your link from here, I'm not sure how many people will be able to discover your site and join us.  I did a google search under both "warzone forum" and, excelsior warzone.  I looked for several pages on each search and still did not find your site.

I think it's wonderful that you're doing this and I give you kudos for it.   ;)  It's just not going to be able to support the game to the same degree as this site can.   :(

I say, if Thom's listening, release the server info to Topkick so that he (along with anyone else who is willing to pitch in) can keep this site operational.

There aren't hardly any links pointing to the forum at the moment, but even if i did put some links around, it would take some time for it to show up on google.
The thing is... anywhere we move, there is no "excelsior warzone forum" main link at the moment. Not even this forum is easy to find on google!

The best thing would be to stay here. But what do we do if nothing comes up and this place shuts down?

I think it's just up to the faq team. Where they go, I'll follow ;D

Well Slappy I am starting to think you are spot on about this.  Months pass no word.  It's kinda like when they were still in buisiness.

if they were still in business i think they would try to sell some product. i know were all looking to add to our armies and are resorting to trades to accomplish this.i think they would figure out some way to make some money.
                  if theyre not in the biz-why not let folks have their game?
if thom isnt releasing it,then there must be something in the works...unless he hates us all!!!

Possibly spite, perhaps neglect, maybe he just decided to wash his hands of the whole thing and decided it simply isn't worth it anymore.  If I had a way to contact him, trust me, I would be.
