dark-alex.org shutting down

[lawrence27]

This is not a rumor nor a very early april fool's joke.

I'll just quote the anouncement on their site.

Closure Announcement of Dark-AleX.org Forum.

Within the following announcement, we announce the closure of Dark-AleX.org forum, after one year of working, more than 50,000 users, more than
170,000 messages, and more than 15,000 threads. With those statistics, that have gone generally within more than 450 messages, 40 threads and 130
new users per day, we are more than just satisfied about the results and about what we have reached.

There are many reasons. The forum, by itself, has been a challenge. A challenge that, without any doubt, has exceeded all of our expectatives, and
a challenge that now, after all that we have been through, we find ourselves happy and proud of having gone this far. However, its, professionally
speaking, a moment for evolving and taking ourselves a little time for relax and so we can study whats next.

Since the beginning, the people' answer has been something amazing and indescribable, something that we won't have enough grateful words, and that
fills us of satisfaction. This support has been so huge that we have found ourselves overwhelmed, and when we wanted to give the deserved service
for each user, we have gone into problems and we have got to take this hard but consistent decition; that, the same way as we wield a smile when all
this was starting, this last decition makes us sad, but we know that is the best choice at the moment.

Again, thanks to all, to our moderators, to our friends, to our old and new partners, to the English Zone and their help to this project, and everyone
of you that have helped us on any terms.

Lastly, if any user is interested on recovering any part or any thread of the forum, please contact with the following e-mail: alek@dark-alex.org
so we can deliver what you need.

And remember, you always have to your disposal our IRC as a place in where you can chat, you can laugh with us, and as a cool reason to make a reunion
and remember old times, as after all this is not a "goodbye", but a "cya" ;-)

Sincerely,

Admin and Webmaster of Dark-AleX.org

That's only the forum. The title is waaaay misleading.

Dark-alex.org now relinks to the forums.








For now anyways. lololololololol

 

[Adiuvo]

Looks like he's finally decided to make it official that he's done then. Not surprising, given the lack of updates on his status.

Definitely was a fun ride.

Looking at the fact nothing else but the forums were left on the site for quite some time now, it was only a matter of time anyway - I wonder it took that long.

Reason the forums were closed has nothing to do with D_A. It's more of a private matter and does not concern anyone so I won't say more. The actual site will stay up.

 

[eighty4]

Everything is a private matter. He was sued - kthnx.

 

[Hellcat]

Or Sony hired him and he's under NDA now

 

[SilverSpring]

Reason the forums were closed has nothing to do with D_A.

But you should know that the forums (despite it's name) never had anything to do with D_A anyway...

I know, but it was in reference to Adiuvo's comment.

They probably had to pay for bandwidth or something. TBH I though it was completely pointless in them opening a forum in the first place seeing that there were already flourishing PSP related forums/sub-forums.
