Hey great Overlord Matthew, just seeing if you're still lurking. What's the status of allegro.cc these days? Things break and things mysteriously get fixed.

Since no one else here is gracious enough to thank you for unlocking all the threads, thank you. It's a stop gap, but cool nonetheless.

Perhaps it's time to ditch AWS....and Jeff Bezos in the river....

Is someone trying to quote something in one of the threads die too soon threads?

I think I dreamed this site had stopped working last night. Dreadful. Posting to check whether it still works.
Strange, it's the only website I dream about.

I personally would like to see allegro.cc live again. Discord threads and forum posts suck compared to allegro.cc's threads. Please don't abandon us to the wilds of the internet. This is our refuge in the storm. Our secret place where everything is kum bah yah. Don't kill it off, just pass it on to someone else if you don't want to update it anymore. Many people have been willing to help and probably still would help if you wanted it.

All due respect, screw read only. If you're gonna do that, just take it down.

Screw nostalgia, the only life this place ever had was a bunch of shit talkers who spammed and ++post counts. It's the programming questions and depot threads that made this site worth while.

In any case, it would be a shame if this site 1) died or 2) stayed outdated. 2) is the reason nobody uses this forum anymore, it's not a matter of interest, its usability that is the limiting factor here.

I would personally take over the news section. Hook it up to my (personal) email and I will review news every few days. Take down the old downloads, or mark them as strictly outdated. I would be willing to review depot games too.

Let us help you.

I spent most of today programming. I couldn't have but for the years of being on
these forums and recieving guidance from people who know more about game creation than me. I don't think I'll get very far with anything I want to do in the future if these forums disappear. So many people I've gotten to know a bit over the years.

I could try to argue that, as creator and benevolent ruler, you have some tiny bit of responsibility for your otherwise homeless citizens, but it would probably not be convincing.

I prefer this site to Discord. The other has it's upsides I'm sure but I like the feel of this one. My goal is to someday answer as many questions as I ask.

One nice thing about this site, is you'll never hear..."We've answered this over and over! Search the threads before you ask!!" .
