RPGDot says 'Goodbye'

the really sad thing is ... noone cares anymore.

 

[xSamhainx]

i better grab my morrowind tips thread before it goes bye bye!

 

[GhanBuriGhan]

A sad end for Rendelius' baby. Don't ever sell the watch, ya hear!

 

[Asbjoern]

Goodbye RPGDot.

 

[Alrik Fassbauer]

What a loss ! All of this information in the forums !!!

I wonder whether I should try to make a kind of "backup" via HTTrack ?

But I fear it would be too much stuff, perhaps ...

 

[dteowner]

Quite the shame. I think Jolt kinda did it to themselves, but it's still sad to see the Dot die. Rendelius has got to be heartbroken.

 

[Wulf]

To be honest, i'm surprised it held on for so long in a state of frozen euthanasia, it was obviously inevitable. It would have been better pulling the plug when the dotter's migrated en-masse.

I've just had a strange thought, if Jolt had put up a "for Sale" sign and the "Watch" re-aquired it, we could all have migrated back again en-masse....a kind of forum musical-chairs. :lol:

Goes to show, a site is nothing without its members, and we are all here!

Kinda sad that, after 2 years of near-inactivity and removal of all the NFG posts, I'm still #8 on their post count list, down from a peak of #5.

Wow-so was this the forums closing, or everything that used to be on the Dot?--when I lurked there, I used the games database and reviews a lot, but since this site opened I've rarely been back.

 

[dteowner]

Since it's posted on the news page, as well as the forums, I'm guessing the entire site is going boink.

 

[magerette]

Sad. In it's prime it was one of the best, if not *the* best, rpg sites on the web.

 

[Corwin]

It was the best for many years, then Jolt slowly choked us to death. Thus the formation of the Watch!! Sad, but inevitable.

 

[txa1265]

That is a sad passing, but it was really on terminal life support for the past two years,

I go on vacation for a month and come back to the death of the dot, but like you guys already said it's been dying for a long time. They still kept up with the news but the forums were emptier than Fallout's wasteland.

If Rpgdot dies, do all the other network sites die as well? I suppose it does but it would be a shame to lose all that info on all the networked sites.

Edit: Nevermind, I got my answer. The goodbye message is on all of rpgdot networks. I have some downloading to do before the sites disappear.

That is the turth. Another site I post regularly on is about Texas Longhorn Athletics. The main site, Hornfans, had an amazing community for close to a decade, but the mods went overboard, permabanning people for the smallest offense. I'm friends with the owners and I got permabanned for something that wasn't even against the rules! Well, enough people got pissed off and formed a near clone site where the mods are totally hands off. Within about 2 months the old site is dead and the new site is rockin'!

 

[Dhruin]

It's a strange feeling.

Well, we're not going anywhere.

 

[JDR13]

Wow, this is definitely sad news for me, even though I barely visited the Dot over the last few years. I was a member there for a long time before the Watch opened, it was one of my favorite sites.

 

[The Wanderer]

If it wouldn't of been for the .dot, I wouldn't be here with yall today.
For that, I am grateful.

 

[Guhndahb]

That's a shame. I admit, though, that I've only checked back there once or twice since the Watch opened.
