GameDev.Net out of business?

Post by jacmoe »

Something is wrong:
http://www.gamedev.net/

Doesn't take you to where it used to take you..
Did it go bust?
Or was it hi-jacked?

Too bad - they had a good forum.

<edit>
I hear that they went down earlier this year - and then they went away just now - hopefully because they moved to a better server and the DNS hasn't propagated yet.

You had me worried for a moment :D works for me.

I doubt they would ever "go out of business", it doesn't operate like that. Besides, if it ever did struggle, it would have the backing of the whole industry. :P

Must be DNS issues, yeah.

It didn't work yesterday, but now it works here. Must be some server issues they are getting or so.
