trj22487 | 350 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Actually I take that back, it looks like it is already functional. All the old threads are currently gone. The site design also looks worse than what NintendoAge was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulpa | 3,488 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) The stuff on NintendoAge.com is still there. No idea how much longer, though. The new forum does work and our PMs are there on that one. edit: old threads archived here: https://connect.gocollect.com/categories/archived-nintendoage-posts Edited October 30, 2019 by Tulpa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a catchall for all discussions, but the archived stuff and one announcement is all that has been posted so far. No word on the database, etc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogie | 12 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Wow! I can't believe they didn't find a way to still use the NintendoAge domain. From what I can see, they just lost all the SEO that made NintendoAge valuable from a business perspective. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t looked at the SANs on the ssl cert though EDIT: nope, just the gocollect wildcard. Edited October 30, 2019 by barrels 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Good luck to everyone who said they'd stay on NA/go collect. Enjoy trying to navigate through that. VGS is for the community.

nrslam | 474 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Hmmm... I was going to try my old NA login to see if it worked, but I have this suspicion that they'll start flooding me with spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine they're still on the NintendoAge site and the server is still going for a little bit so they haven't tried it out. But yeah, when they try the new digs it'll be a shock.

GsoFly | 0 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I knew this was going to happen. Knew it when Dain sold it. Nothing good ever comes from sales like this. Lots of us saw the writing on the walls, and others kissed go collects ass. Well, here we are. NA in all its glory, history, and archive is all gone. Years worth of knowledge WE contributed and shared for us swallowed up by the virus that is go collect. Makes me sick to my stomach honestly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trj22487 | 350 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Definitely could and should have gone so much differently. I personally haven't experienced anything this bad since Tom Anderson selling MySpace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
