Hmm, this is all very strange (that site). I wonder what will go there, maybe just a fan page, who knows.
Oh god... i just realised the last tab on zchri9's post. eww, wtf!

Hmm, you can FTP that site as well, but it asks you for user name. I decided not to play with it. i might have a proper look at it in a bit (I can usually at least get the idea of what files are on the site - even if i can't see them).

Hi to all of you. I was looking through the situation most of the time, so I have some thoughts 'bout it.

1) Very strange coincidence about 3D Realms closing and massive leak of an information about DNF (screens, footage, plot, etc.)

Yeah, really strange...

It's not a coincidence. It happened before with various projects.

Quote

2) During this week there will be some sort of new press-release regarding Duke Nukem (not DNF?).

Apogee stuff. Probably because their press release will be more noticable because of the DNF.

Quote

3) Cars near the 3DR office.

So what?

Quote

4) George's silence.

Never happened before?

Quote

5) Savedukenukem.com. There is a sentence with a "12 years" part in it. Rather intriguing.

I can create whatever site I want.

Quote

7) Suddenly dissappeared screens and arts from the part of the blogs from "3DR members searching for employee". And some others things.

Suddenly someone said to them "NDA".

[btGrave]

Lotan, savedukenukem.com was registered one day before all this story (used "whois"). Maybe the owner of site is a fortuneteller. And some blogs still have art etc. I think NDA is going to the art too, but art still there.

6th May is the day when shacknews reported it. Charlie, for example, knew about this several days earlier. So, it doesn't say a thing than owner of the site also might have known this slightly earlier.

In other words, like I said: We don't know shit.

Sums it up for me. I don't like too many conspiracy theories so I agree with Lotan on this one.

[Redcard]

SaveDukeNukem was registered by a domain speculator.

I imagine he's waiting on what George has to say, and then will find "popular" community members and try to sell it for a few hundred bucks.

Nothing more. You can see his name and everything, and google his personal site, and he talks about being an "internet presence" consultant.

This is what he does. It's done all the time. People see something in the news, and register a few domains from it. I bet saveDukeNukem isn't the only one he registered on that day having to deal with DNF.

[Master Fibbles]

Why was the thread closed?

Because it was a shithole. You don't get 1000+ posts of shit like that everyday. I am surprised it lasted as long as it did. I think that is because Joe gave up on it since he has other things to do..you know like find a job, play with his kids, clean up the office, move his stuff from the office to his house, etc.

I tried to read it in fragments but it was just painful to see all the ad hominem attacks and red herrings and just plain bull shit. The morons who wanted to "save DNF" should be removed from the gene pool and anyone who thinks there is hope for 3DR should go with them.

It was a shithole so Nacho, being reasonably intelligent, locked it finally.

[peoplessi]

Mr.Flibbles is correct, it was a shithole, and still is. Some new randoms started to post their shit, and it turned to a shithole.

[Nacho]

I closed it since I didn't want people talking about the upcoming Gold announcement or how 3DR aren't closing but expanding and are moving into a new office, a football stadium with a giant Nuke symbol on the field that you can see from space.

That and it was nothing but retarded conversations being looped over, and over, and over...

[Damien_Azreal]

I'm actually glad it was locked. Took long enough.

Nothing new or even really important was being discussed anymore... and given the amount of posts that were being thrown into it it was a pain in the ass to keep up with.

And Nacho is right, until more, solid information is released... there's nothing else to really discuss.

[SpitFire]

Only accept speculations as hogwash until announced by official 3DR leadership.

Although I did drive by 3DR and saw a huge staff party with GB dancing to MJ's Thriller.

True story bro's.

[ryche]

That would've been a sight. TOo bad you don't have a video clip or pic

The server goes down daily for a database back up at the same time everyday. It means nothing, its just something that happens so that the forums run smoother.

[Reaper_Man]

Is that the Raziel I think it is?

[Kathy]

A vampire?

[Reaper_Man]

Please be quiet, the grownups are talking.

[^?^]

thanks for the info about the 3DR forum

He wasn't talking about you. He was talking about the topic starter.
