Cannot access dxediting.com web page

A refuge for those migrating from the fallen DXEditing.com and a place for general discussion relating to Deus Ex editing (coding, mapping, etc).

Yep. I know nothing about this company, other than they did advertising-supported free hosting for years, had more downtime than I see elsewhere, and recently disappeared silently along with everyone's content. From only that, I've created a strong opinion that they are irresponsible administrators. If someone said tomorrow that an alcoholic hitman found EdgeNetwork in the phonebook and tried to shoot the company, I'd still think it was irresponsible to clear the FTP and say nothing. If they still have the content and allow access for a short time soon, I'll change my opinion, and see EdgeNetwork as a more principled and admirable failure.
Yes, that is exactly what I was talking about -- you have no idea what the circumstances of EdgeNetwork's demise were, yet you assume it was something akin to someone saying "fuck y'alls" and flipping a switch to delete everyone's content. As for downtime, I'm not sure what you're referring to.

Hi people, nice to see you have a little shelter from the 'storm'. There is a very non relevant question here though. OiNutter why are you a billboard?

I represent the ever-vigilant eyes of a judgemental society that is blind to its own moral decay. Discuss.







(Actually, people apparently don't frequent TheNamelessMod.com anymore and missed that we have merch, so I've become a prostitute to offset costs.)

Congratz, your blatant billboard-ness worked. I just bought me a Goats shirt.

Nobody every figured it out, as far as I know. It was rather nebulous and nobody had direct control of anything. Sad.
