i was just about to say that :o

~~it's funny because it's all happening in 2012~~

Badnik96 · « **Reply #2 on:** February 04, 2012, 12:14:08 PM »

What's even more funny is that with all these Robot combat sites going down the Advanced robot Combat site is back up

http://advancedrobotcombat.com/

RA2 is crumbling...

Oh, I will have none of that nonsense. You're not sparkey, ain't ya ?

RA2 isn't crumbling. 99,9% of all RA2 activity on the internet happens HERE, ON THIS FORUM. Is it dead ? Nope. Is it dying ? No good argument for that.

We're still having tournaments. We're still building robots, we're still discussing RA2, we're still having new and interested newbies. RA2 might be an old game and have a tiny fanbase compared to other games, it's NOT dying.

What is on the receiving end of my UNDILUTED, WHITE-HOT, AND ENTIRELY JUSTIFIED SPITE is actually people that whine and complain about RA2 dying. Not only it's entirely false, but you doomsayers setting up pessimism for the future, which is not a good thing for this forum's continued existence.

Seems like you guys actually want this community to end, or something similar, by saying that it is crumbling.

WE STILL HAVE N00B WAAAAARZ

Badnik96 · « **Reply #8 on:** February 04, 2012, 02:20:05 PM »

yes but everything besides this site is gone.

MassimoV · « **Reply #9 on:** February 04, 2012, 02:21:07 PM »

Clcikbeetle's, Starcore's, and even Darkrat's sites are all up.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 04, 2012, 02:23:19 PM »

yes but they are all part of GTM

MassimoV · « **Reply #11 on:** February 04, 2012, 02:26:35 PM »

Joe's was too.

G.K. · « **Reply #12 on:** February 04, 2012, 02:35:43 PM »

It wasn't

MassimoV · « **Reply #13 on:** February 04, 2012, 03:03:36 PM »

Like it has gametechmods in the URL. I thought you just meant they were setup while gtm was the only site around.

smashysmashy · « **Reply #14 on:** February 04, 2012, 06:48:57 PM »

I totally saw this coming - after Joeblo left GTM, there wasn't much point of keeping .info website open.

Plus, I didn't really like Joe's site. The latest edition of backlash constantly crashed, so I gave up and remy back to BF2 :P

QFT. I remember back in 2006 when people said RA2 was dying. The fact is that there is still a strong interest in robot combat and there are not many alternatives.

As much as Nary gripes about the IRL fad in DSL, you have to admit it's been good for the community (at least the DSL community, stock not so much). Almost every time I get on the forums there's a full page of unread topics in the DSL showcase.

RpJk · « **Reply #17 on:** February 04, 2012, 10:35:13 PM »

Its because the game is nearly a decade old and I'm guessing that within another year this could very well be the only RA2 site left. Its kind of sad really.

ty4er · « **Reply #18 on:** February 05, 2012, 02:18:16 AM »

it's lack of interest and ideas when building really. Old members leave and plenty new ones join.

TeamXtreemer · « **Reply #19 on:** February 05, 2012, 02:50:24 AM »

This site will go down soon.
