tomasz86 Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Does anyone know what happened to this site? It doesn't seem to work anymore...
Tripredacus Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 It looks like they didn't pay for their hosting. Maybe the site moved somewhere?
OldCigarette Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 They nuked our site because we violated the TOS somehow. They won't explain the violation :/ It was actually just a free hosting so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Oldboy had the database backups for every month so we didn't lose much. When we find some hosting a bit better we'll get it back up.
tomasz86 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Posted July 9, 2011 Thanks for letting us know I hope you're back in a short time. There was a lot of useful information at your forum.

Hosting can be so cheap these days, there are plenty of $1/month hosts in the US.As a sidenote, I noticed in the OS list when registering, it listed:Windows 2000 x64 Datacenter
Cyker Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Seconded! That site was a godsend!...Could it be hosted here as a subforum of the 2k forum...?
ouno Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 I'm looking for the wrapper pack which was on this site, can someone upload it somewhere ? (the one which is referenced here for example: http://forum.teamspeak.com/showthread.php/46830-Teamspeak-3-on-Windows-2000?p=204926#post204926 )
johk Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) One of the admins of the site left this thread on other forum with the explanations and download links (or where to find them):http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic167843.htmlI hope they find a new host soon.

johnnynoone Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Gday OldCigarette,Is there any way to speed up the return of win2kgaming??
johnnynoone Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) The win2kgaming forums which were located at this old url:http://win2kgaming.site90.com/are now back online at this new url:http://oldcigaret.info/win2k/phpBB3/ Edited October 15, 2011 by johnnynoone
tomasz86 Posted October 18, 2012 Author Posted October 18, 2012 The forum seems to be unavailable again
johk Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Yes, gone again.The saddest thing is that I recommended a free site to avoid this and forget to pay for a domain name (because that happened this time, the domain name has expired, at least the first days), dhost.info, that I'm using from a few years now for a forum/page, without problems.... :-/ (the only requirement is to have one visit a week).And the worst is that I don't get why archive.org don't crawls and archive it either :-? We are now without backup or anything but this thread and the one I posted a year back.Let's hope it comes back soon :-/
tomasz86 Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 I also use a free hosting (http://www.000webhost.com/) for my website and haven't experienced any problems with it. I don't think that it's worth paying for hosting in case of such a specialised website with <100 visitors daily (it's around 80 visits a day for my site and I doubt that more people visited win2kgaming).
