Plokite_Wolf Posted June 11, 2017 Author Report Posted June 11, 2017 Wouldn't surprise me, with the shutdown announcement being unexpected even to us remaining staff. 0 Quote
Testament Posted June 11, 2017 Report Posted June 11, 2017 I scratch my last comment, apparently it went through after giving the answer "nod" (after doing it multiple times under the same password) for the factions of the Tiberium universe. 0 Quote
Plokite_Wolf Posted June 11, 2017 Author Report Posted June 11, 2017 News from Sonic: Quote Hey guys. Firstly thanks for your support. It was difficult for me to write that post. The reality is I can't afford to pay for the hosting any more. I have more bills and rent that must come fist. With that said. I have read all the replies here and many PMs. I'm very sleepy as I reply to this. So give me chance to sleep on it. Someone else taking over the hosting seems to be the best option if you want the site to live on. 0 Quote
NodGuy Posted June 11, 2017 Report Posted June 11, 2017 I hope someone else takes over. I don't want to see it die. 0 Quote
Plokite_Wolf Posted June 11, 2017 Author Report Posted June 11, 2017 The site has been taken over by an ex-staff member and friend, @Zee Hypnotist. 1 Quote
Bayonetta Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) I don't think the series is dead. Steam Released and active player counts on Steam shows the series has life. Still. I would love to see a HD re-master of the older titles. Officially outside of fan releases. Updated Cutscenes with new actors. Older Graphics updated with 3D models ect new balance and so forth. There's potential to renew the series. I can't say reboot the story from scratch, But updating it visually could work. Blizzard are doing it with Starcraft Same could apply for Command and Conquer. It's the Grand Daddy of RTS next to dune and Starcraft.. Edited June 12, 2017 by Bayonetta 0 Quote

Raap Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) Good to see someone took over. Too bad Sonic didn't try reaching out first. As an FYI, CNCNZ has been suffering from a 'broken' front page for many months, I occasionally visit it and it always has a forum redirect on the main page. I don't know if page hits still matter for a website like CNCNZ, but I'm sure it didn't help, Edited June 12, 2017 by Raap 0 Quote

We have a plugin wannabe in place now, but it's less than perfect. 0 Quote
moonsense715 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 At W3DHub we are using a REST API for the front website to pull the news from the forum, WordPress or any other manager thingy is not used at all. 0 Quote
Plokite_Wolf Posted June 12, 2017 Author Report Posted June 12, 2017 We have lots of articles/specials, portals etc. from previous website designs, so Sonic decided to use WordPress. The plugin we had was good and effective for IPBv3, but wasn't compatible with IPSv4. 0 Quote
Zee - Rabbit Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 Any chance you guys can change the title of this thread so it reflects the fact that CNCNZ is not shutting down on the main page? Thanks. 2 Quote
MartinMb Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 CNCNZ closing would have been devastating for the C&C community. We are already very uncertain about the future of another long-time fan site, CnCSaga, which is currently down... 0 Quote

For those of you who dont follow sc2 balance, it got really out of hand, and killed off its grassroots community. The toxicity of the US server also helped (a LOT)(in us ofc) 0 Quote

Raap Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 Getting several red flags on attempting to visit CNCNZ such as the website connection being too insecure, so something is up, figured I'd mention it. 0 Quote
