Goodbye Catacombs?
http://forums.thecatacombs.net/
So, are they gone forever? What the hell happened? Haven't they been around for many, many years? Does the TFC community have another place to hang out? I spend too much time on the internet methinks |

Looks to me like hax. I hope they've saved backups of their DB/Tracker.

The person who owned it the past few years is a power tripping whore. He took down the forums and sold them to a car forum owner. Various members have tried to buy the archives off of Rasp but he will not do it no matter what the price. Ironically he never even played tfc so I have no idea why it was even put in his hands.

There is nothing here anymore. Go away.
Dropping the database is potentially a very bad thing to do. Any data stored in the database will be destroyed. Do you really want to drop the 'thecatacombs_forums' database [y/N] y Database "thecatacombs_forums" dropped Pretty cool guy. |

Hello everyone!
Glad to see FF still alive and kicking, unlike our beloved forum. For those that don't know me (which I assume is everyone here), I am eziam or maize or maizy depending which pill I have taken. I was one of the original administrators (it was first an ezboard forum...old school). Not to bore you wonderful internet personas to death but the website started around 1999 (from a wonderful 5mb charter communications account) and really took off 2000. Half-Life popularity and the wonderful internet made this multiplayer game an orgasm for us computer nerds. The membership grew from a couple of hundred to over 5,000 individual accounts (i suspect only 2,000 real people and 1 banned person with 3,000 aliases). I was around for the golden years but decided that I should concentrate on life and became a recluse. The site was sold twice. Since we never made money on this (a community), the person that owned it was supposed to be the steward of our wonderful community. After a decade...the users were in the hundreds and finally in the tens (maybe 35). The forum sadly turned into its name "catacombs". While I love what we had (a wonderful small knit community), the low user turnout made it impossible to sustain. Sadly, the lack of great leadership allowed the site to disappear. While I wish somebody would step up and resurrect it, I understand that somethings just need to die. Last edited by eziam; 10-27-2012 at 03:45 AM. |
