I was recounting Operation Rescue to a techie today and he was like “that’s a great story. nerds from the nineties are a good bunch.”

Felt warm fuzzy all over again. Love you guys.

Oh crap, end of an era?

Pinging britney.paradise.net.nz [203.96.152.10] with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.

Are rachel and kirsty ok?

Google can not help much to prove it though...

Primary DNS rachel.paradise.net.nz 203.96.152.4
Secondary DNS kirsty.paradise.net.nz 203.96.152.12

Bugger - no Vanessa or Britney here.

Ok - we'll go with your reasoning then. Pour some out for his ex's.

I'm sure there's a "$10 for 20 hours access" joke to be made here.

I'd be curious to know how much traffic NZG gets. I assume some days it's just me hitting F5, waiting for something to happen.

Once upon a time nzg was the busiest non commercial site in NZ. It started slowing as we all got jobs and kids and mortgages, but the real decline was when the Facebook machine hit its stride around 07-08. Nzg is now a dribble where once it was a bukkake firehose, but I’m glad it’s here <3

I think the front page might finally be really gone.

Yeah, no data lost. Just in case you need to confirm that clan match result from Bloodrain season 2 in 1997.

"now a dribble where once it was a bukkake firehose"

Suggesting this for the new open discussion tagline.

It appears that our gracious hosts since the 2017 crisis, Where’s My Server, are winding up their services. At some point in the next couple of months we’ll be moving again. Hopefully I took setup notes last time and migration interruption will be slight. I’ll keep you savages posted.

Oh, I liked them too. I guess Amazon is the go-to these days, and it's hard for the little guys to compete.

Maybe a Patreon or something for ongoing costs? Or just an account for cash works too.

Dear savages,

Due to the Where's My Server shutdown I need to move these forums to a new host sometime within the next few weeks. Given the fact that my household's income has dried up I will be going with the absolute cheapest VPS hosting I can find here in Australia.

The virus thread alone has proved to me the importance of keeping this place going. I ask you to bear with me, and if you come here and there's an error message check @nzgames on twitter for an explanation and a resolution ETA.

NB - I don't hang out on twitter so don't @ little love notes to nzgames, it's really just for announcements. Ta

I hope that there is a some extra to help you and your family out too. I was going to post that in the Covid thread, but didn't end up doing it.
