Title: Freespacezone.com shut down!?!?!?!
Post by: ZmaN on February 28, 2006, 07:28:33 am
I told someone about it who had asked me for access to my FTP, and he said it had been taken over by a search site...  I wasn't sure what he was talking about so I checked it out myself...  LOOK AT WHAT IS THERE NOW!

www.freespacezone.com

EDIT:  If this is going to be down permanently, someone needs to remove the link on the Freespace Wikipedia site and maybe put a link the Karajorma's Downloads thread....

DW-Hunter contacted me about this one a little while back. Apparently his hosting company failed to notify him that his domain name registration was running out around the 20th.

Freespacezone.com should be back up as soon as he can sort things out. I believe he posted on Game-Warden about it in fact :)

As you can see the .net address has a different registration period.

ok sorry for all the exclamation.....

Just kinda odd that it went down without warning....

I doubt you were anywhere near as surprised as DW-Hunter was :)

all these "dot net"s and "dot com"s are confusing me. Is the official FSzone site .com or .net?

Either, but .net is the only one that's working at the moment.

Surprised? kinda. pissed? extremely. he was about ready to either sue them or take it to claims. that is until he found the mirror still operational. ;)

What really sucks is www.sectorfiles.com is down... since I wanted to get VA's higher limits mv32 off it and I get ads.

Danke. This wretched forum, wiki, and main page all have absolutely no way of getting it. THe main page pretends to have links, but only has a half assed description. The wiki links to a dead geocities page, and the forum has broken searsh. :(

I could never find working links was my point. And the wiki I found the info on was the old one. Or on the main HLP page under downloads. I mentioned this before in a thread in Grognards, but it seems to have had two blind eyes turned to it. The official resources, outside of the wiki, have broken/no links.
