All good things...

Post by jv_map »

This has been known behind the scenes for a little while, but today I have to bring everybody the sad news: we are about to be closed down.

The reason is that IGN/Gamespy are terminating the hosted site service we enjoy. The closing date is August 31st, 2009.

It remains uncertain if .Map still has a future. Today I have requested a complete database export which, provided we can find a suitable host, can (in theory) be used to reinstate .Map (in its current form) at a different web address.

For the moment I cannot promise anything, as the website is unfortunately not easily moved.

IGN tech support has advised me to close down the forums from now onwards, so no posts will be lost in a migration. However I prefer to leave them open as long as possible, please bear in mind posts made after *now* might be lost in the migration process.

Finally a major word of thanks to all our members that have made .Map a pleasant and helpful site for its 7 years and 3 months of existence. Not bad by any account :).

It's been a great time for me personally, I hope everybody enjoyed it as much. Thank you!!

As long as we get the database backup I can't see why .map wouldn't be reinstated. ;)

I hope the site can be re-established elsewhere. This site is one of the major cornerstones for the MoH community and I would hate to see it be gone forever.

Thanks everyone who made this site very informative and useful!!

Wow, can't believe it. I keep coming here for reference because I can't remember anything between the rare chances I get to sit down and "map". Thanks for everything.
