Well that's a bitter-sweet response. Well at least I hope you all manage to bring .net to the former glory of the old .com site. Godspeed.

Quote from: Glam Stachee on January 21, 2024, 03:05:35 PMSo I haven't visited the site in a few years, and I come back now and see that it's both completely different and also, everything seems to be gone?

I couldn't log into my old account, so I'm assuming it's been deleted as it was used on the same email address.

But what bums me out the most is that basically all the old mods seem to be gone, and I can't find them reuploaded anywhere else.

Could anyone fill me in what happened? I'm guessing a change of ownership happened.

Hi,
 Sure! I'd be happy to chat with you about this.
I posted an article about it here, if you would care to take a look:
https://www.mafiascene.net/index.php?page=2

The short is that it seems with the software that MS(com) was running on, it was not compatible with the newest versions of php and the host didn't seem to be interested in keeping outdated version available. (from a security point, this makes sense)

MS(net) was created years ago when MS(com) had similar issues so that members could re-connect and collaborate as they did on MS(com).

If you were a member of this website before, I could help you recover your account if you need help.

Hope this all helps and welcome!

Thanks for the reply. I don't think you need to bother since I wasn't that active on the old forums anyways. 

You or Rob wouldn't by chance happen to have all the old mods archived?
