Global Re-launch of COMMODORE by Tulip Confirmed

Check it out on the American Tulip Site ...

Um, this is not an "American" site. It is Tulip's International website that is in English as it is the official "International" language.

The site is based in NL just like www.tulip.nl as well. Both sites are hosted in Europe. www.tulip.com is just a registered international domain name serving as the main page. It is still hosted in Europe.

"Methinks Tulip-USA is getting hit with a DDOS attack; the page has been inacessable (HTTP: 501 Too Many Users) all day.

Wouldn't surprise me if the C= fanbase banded together and did this, not one single bit..."

The Tulip website has been suffering with something a little more than just a mere slashdot effect. They are being affected by the "Commodore user effect". They are being affected by a global wide load of Commodore users coming from all directions checking out the news.

Traditionally, a "Corporate" website would not be rendered inaccessible by just users from Slashdot. The news is spreading to TechTV, Amiga.org and many other sources besides comp.sys.cbm and Commodore mail lists and other Commodore newsgroups. This is *BIG*. I am talking levels that would render a dedicated server into traffic overload.

"I just got to the page. What a bunch of sad bastards. This would be like me and a few venture (no pun intended to the next statement) capitalists getting together to fund a return of the Exidy Sorcerer II home computer!..."

Actually the news was not suppose to have been posted and is tid bit misleading. I do not think that they are looking at shutting down Commodore fan sites from more recent messages from people at Ironstone. They are more into "embracing the Commodore scene". They are targeting sites that are commercially using the trademark for commercial products like Commodore telephones and others that are clearly using the Commodore trademark as a brand name and stuff of that sort.

The Commodore project is not endanger because the name change to C-One a while back. They are just fine at this time.
