GameArtisans.org Shutdown - Inside June 28th - July 5th

[FredH]

To celebrate GameArtisans.org's first year anniversary, everything will shut down for 1-4 days somewhere inside June 28th to July 5th.

When we re-open, expect to see some awesome changes as we shift to version 2.0:2thumbs:

Things that will change... it's a surprise:D

WHAT WILL I DO FOR THOSE 4 DAYS??!?!?

There are always "specialty" sites. ;) Then again, what do I know? (Ow! Right... hand...cramping. Must... stop. ... .... Cannot.)

Okay. That was low, even for me. :p

hehe, anyways! Excellent. Really excited! :d
Yeah. Exciting times indeed. Still, I know how I'll use my "off" time. I'll actually get some work done. :lol: Besides, Friday is my birthday. I plan on spending that weekend (at least) crawled into the fetal position, lamenting my lost youth, and nursing a hangover. ... `Cause that's how I roll. :p

[Aftermath]

it will be like christmas again but this time i cant sneak a peak!

[HntrLuc]

pfft, great, now my lurking is gonna be limited to polycount only...
looking forward to seeing whats in store though

[BuroKun]

[FredH]

No, no tacos in V 2.0:p

[Arkadius]

Sure.

Butt scratcher? Butt scratcher....

Aren't you glad you asked?

[Kalango]

To celebrate(...)everything will shut down
Aewsome way to celebrate! MUWAHAHAH! Cant wait...
Oh and how about the comps in between?

PS: Watch out while we're unprotected, polycounters may suck our bloodz...

[Parnell]

Exciting news Fred!
My computer just crapped out so I guess now is the best time to shutdown the site;)
Thanks! Oh and the medals for the top 20 are perhaps the coolest thing ever. I can't wait!

1-4 Days?? HAHAAAAAAAAALOOOOOOOOOL

"..everything will shut down for 8-12 days somewhere inside June, or July.. or someone this year.. hopefully"

;)

looking forward :)

No. No. Nothing like that. Unless something unforeseen happens and things unexpectedly go kablooey, which is unlikely, have faith in Fred. When he says 1-4 days he means 1-4 days.

Man, you must be the life of the party at university.

"Say, we're thinking about heading out to a party. Wanna come?"
"Can't. THE END OF THE WORLD IS NEAR!!!! REPENT!!!! REPENT!!"

:)

What I can say is that these changes ARE for the better. It's all to keep the site moving in a positive and exciting direction. You all may get "the shakes" for a couple of days, but you'll certainly be jumping for joy at the cool new stuff. Guaranteed.

[FredH]

now now Rollin, I was sure to give myself enough time this time around... I hope:p Thanks for keeping me on my toes... you nagging preacher of doom:lol:

[Bobio]

Sweet, I can't wait to see what you have in store for us Fred.

My Computer died recently too, both my video card and my hard drive died :( but at least this will give me time to get my new components installed and all set up.

Looking forward to the changes!!!!

[confracto]

gah!

right when I'm going to get time off.

Fred, are you conspiring against me?
like how you delayed dominance war 2 weeks, so that it'd start RIGHT when my months off ended, and TONS of work lands...

sigh

[FredH]

:eek: This would explain the whispering voice inside my head that tells me when to start things...


:D

[confracto]

yeah, yeah it would...

[WhiteGuardian]

So, fred what about deadline of the mini comp? I think this shutdown will affect to the competition that still running

[Cunipshun]

Sure.

Butt scratcher? Butt scratcher....

BUTTSCRATCHER

ILL TAKE 1

[FredH]

WhiteGuardian - It should be ok. I'lll try to minimize the realtime changes as much as possible. So I'll just flip everything from one design to another.

Crossing my fingers:D

[YdoUwant2know]

I guess its a bit of a mixed blessing. I cannot wait to see GA 2.0. It's just I don't know whether I should be excited for the switch right now, or figuring out how to fight off the DT's when the site is down. :think:

[AchmedtheSnake]

i know what the surprise is! THE WHOLE SITE WILL BE IN PAPERVISION3D !!!!

[BiG ToE]

ready or not, 3.7.0, here comes GA.

While the site is down, who will hold me tightly while I watch the sun come up. Then push me off the roof. (i've been playing too much GTA4, and listening to the Vibe radio)

[funkdelic]

BigToe Corleone, the GodFather of Triangles.

He really liked the Godfather Idea, hahahhaha


I´m looking foward to see this surprise.!

[Japhir]

hey it's not down :O. yaay and naay ;)

[cookepuss]

Well, he said 1-4 days between those dates. It could just be one day and it didn't have to be today. :) I'm guessing that some of the changes can be done offline before going live.

[funkdelic]

hahah thats odd, everybody is expecting a downtime of the site, hehe I know that means some hot news :)

[ShadyD]

Or maybe.. Fred has totally forgotten about this whole thing and decided not to do anything at all and just keep us anticipating absolutely nothing 4 days long and than on the fifth day, BAM, GA will no longer be online!!!
That or.. what cooke said..

[FredH]

Nope, I didn't forget:) Still working on minimizing the downtime as much as possible so when the switch is done, it will be quick:thumb:

[Parnell]

It's the 5th of July
