AmiBench rolls over & dies........

[Kin-Hell]

As the title says;

AmiBench

Fs..... :-(

i m sure its just a techincal fault at hand here. there has been no warnings about amibench closing so expect to see it up and running again soon (hopefully).

[LoadWB]

If it's technical, then it's someone playing a joke or a hack.  Otherwise, it looks pretty official to me.

I like the page design

[therail]

still works partly:

http://www.amibench.org/cgi-bin/view.pl?type=wanted

i think its just being updated!

That's too bad. I always liked AmiBench. I remember it really took a hit though when there turned out to be a crimial operating in the Wanted/FS sections. Not sure it ever really recovered after that.

i m sure its just a techincal fault at hand here.

Read the browser message carefully. It looks like a standard error message, but isn't. It's always possible the site might have been hacked.

well the link i provided works and can still be updated. remember the front pade of amibench said a while back about them looking for gfx artist of some sort to change the look of the site. its probs just that i am sure! chill

Check your link addy

Amibench is a .org web address not a .net one

 
And for the record it is still up and running

cheers

Do you guys ever check out

         The News?  :-D

[tecno]

Its true, I have closed the site, the domains are not currently forsale (through I did broach the thought with one person).

I am intending to keep the domains for a forthcoming project.

I will not be re-opening AmiBench in its current form.

@ tecno

Why did you close it? You should leave it open or at least give notice ... I check that site out almost every day!!

[Gav]

Over the recent years the site seems to have very little adds on there which is a shame,so its pretty obivous the site was gonna get closed with hardly anyone using it anymore.

I think that AmiBench is going to be a smaller part of a bigger thing.

It's a sign of the times that it was so slow traffic wise.

Its a shame to see it as it was currently after all it was fantastic in its hayday (used to get 50K hits a week). To go from that to a mere dribble in the last year or so was very saddening

I feel for you m8y. Must have been downright demoralizing tbh!

Any chance of a clue as to what the bigger thing might be to allow the smaller AmiBench bit to function some more?

Whatever, all the Best Mark & thanks for some Golden years!  :-)

[weirdami]

Wasn't there a news item saying it was down for good, officially?

edit: :-P

 :-(   :-(   :-(   :cry:  :cry:  :boohoo:  :boohoo:

I cant believe it I loved Amibench.

I should have donated when I had the money.

Its all my fault
