Either someone else attacked them, got shut down, or got fed up with the criticism?

Everything is probably just fine.  They have been relaunching their site, and they are facing some tech problems    B)





There should be a like button on this forum, just like Facebook.

I just hate to be rude to anyone who liked SS8, but I hope this thread had a huge impact on all of SS8 (which I think it did). I hope they realized their copyright issues, etc. and fix them even if it involves shutting down. :yes:

Update: Now the SS8 website is gone completely and shows a page saying it's supposedly "coming soon". :blink: This can't be true; I would think that the website is going to be "gone soon". :huh:
From what I hear, it is a server malfunction (Hopefully).

It shut down all because of this thread? LOL that sounds too exaggerated to be true.

LOL, you've always got something funny up your sleeve, don't you?  :P :rofl2:

Well, I feel bad for them, but you just can't do what they did. They used TWC's maps, and basically used the name of their LF hardware, and the name of the segment itself. IMO, its sites like that that are gonna get us all shut down if they are allowed to exist.

They should rethink their whole model, use stuff maybe like google maps, and put their own stuff on it like everyone else does.

And try some CREATIVE thinking. The name and music are all linked to TWC in their own way.

I have a feeling that higher powers than just this topic helped close the site.

On an unrelated note, I noticed that they used FrontPage:

Code: [Select]
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">

Did they shut it down themselves, or was it shut down by the FCC?
