The end of Planet Quake?

[The Happy Friar]

Yes, we get it. It's the 500,000th death of PQ.

Gamespy is going away completly.

Fader simply does not know how good PQ was back in the day. But I think its time for it to die for real. It has been a zombie ever since Gamespy sold itself way back

Meh, forget Planet Quake, I still think it'd be cool if the front page of tastyspleen had community contributed news or something. Something like 'TastyNews' that would help give people another reason to frequent the site and hopefully become apart of the community.

Isn't tastycasty simmilar to like a tastynews except it dosen't provide latest information of current quake 2 events? But I think your idea is okay cause if there was a tastynews people could get latest information on upcoming things or current events happening.

Tastynews? Dear god think of the headlines: VaeVictus clowned by Focalor, vows ownage by rail.

And in other news... NINETY TO FOURTY-FIVE. Also... Preparation H coupons on page 5.

PlanetQuake was smoking hot. I proudly took this screendump (sexy win98 taskbar) 11 years ago after getting my first Level-of-the-week review. Best thing about PQ in my opinion was the goldmine of Hosted player sites and Reviews (see bottom left of picture)

'Tis a pity. It's one of the last Quake sites out there these days. Most of the download links haven't been working for a while now though.

I guess the only bad thing to lose would be the download archive.

[The Happy Friar]

It looks like lots of the stuff on fileplanet is gone, but if you want anything that's not a download file (a review, article, pic of the day, etc). that's what will be gone soon.  I don't know when the domain will stop working.

just need some quake people to band together and work with them on trying to get it at least extended so the site doesn't drop in augest


if the hosting on IGNs servers is no issue, and it is just the domain expiring... domain registrations are cheap

[The Happy Friar]

Gamespy (and everything Fox still owned related to it), IGN, 1Up & AskMen were sold to Ziffdavis.

how about shortening it so it's unique and easy to google... UniQuake?

(also xtyfe, i remember using pq back in 04, so noob on you, fgt)

[The Happy Friar]

I don't think "Earth Quake" is a good name for your new site - it seems like it would be extremely difficult to search for without returning thousands of earthquake related news links. How about something like "Quake Universe"? At the very least it's a key word more closely related to the game series.

"Earth Quake"'s name is meant to be a play on the name "Planet Quake".  Strange enough, doing a Google search for "Trenchboom" brings EQ up at the 4th search link.  So it's out there, just not many people linking to the direct site yet, only to articles (which is fine with me).
