CPCWiki forums will temporarily replace the CPCZone forum

Mar 072009

Some hours ago I got a message from Gryzor who wrote that the CPCWiki will now act temporarily as a replacement forum for CPCZone forum. So if you haven’t registered yet and you are missing an english CPC forum, go to the CPCWiki forums and start a discussion :-).

And that’s Gryzors message:

Hello dear CPC users,

This is to let you know that since the (hopefully temporary) demise of the CPCZone main site and forum,

and in order to not lose a meeting point, new fora have been created in the CPCWiki board system. This

will allow us, hopefully, to continue discussing and keep in touch.

Regards,
Gryzor

CPCZone partially back

Malc Jennings is currently working on CPCZone and so it is partially back. He mainly brought back the game database, however comments are currently deactivated. The forums are not yet back, too. There is no date aimed when CPCZone is fully available again, but it is good to hear that it will be back in the future. Thank you Malc for your great efforts to bring the site back!!!

CPCZone down

During the last days, CPCZone.net wasn’t reachable and only showed an errormessage on access. This happened because of massive spam attacks. Malc Jennings, the site admin, just gave a short statement about what happened and about the future of CPCZone:

“CPC Zone is currently offline due to persistent attacks on the server, the forum and various other things that are going on right now which I will not get into here. The site may reopen at a later date but I’m unable to commit to a date and time. The data that I painstakingly collected over the years is safe and sound, nothing has been lost.

Thanks to everyone for supporting the site this far, as I said earlier this is not technically the end of the site but it defintely needs a rest until some of the annoying issues are resolved.

Malc Jennings.”

Let’s hope that it will come back sooner or later.

UPDATE: There is currently a discussion in the CPCWiki forum if their forums should act as alternative until Malc has time to bring back CPCZone again.

UPDATE: Malc posted a first idea about how CPCZone could look after the relaunch. It’s a first mock-up in Photoshop, so please be patient.
