Stolen dune2k name?

[sneezer3]

Strange. I mis-typed the link to dune2k earlier and look what I found..

http://wewww.dune2k.com/

weird...

Ha! And it doesnt even list a single Dune game... I doesnt take two Fed2k members to know why... ;D

It's basically the same server if you type any non-existing sub-domain it will forward you to gamelordz. though the site is not operational, a careful reading of the game titles there would reveal it.

Look at the news column in the bottom right-hand corner. There's someone named "Nema Faki"

[slaphapy]

hmmm... look at the history

http://www.gamelordz.net/site/history/

maybe that would explain a little bit more... or maybe just raise more questions.

The Westwood Underground?

[Gobalopper]

What Shiroko said. Its just the default site if what you type is wrong.

[sneezer3]

Is it my browser settings or what?

Why forward you there of all places I guess I am asking?

[bryorama]

That is strange, although I follow what Gob and Shioko say.

NemaFaki is on the Staff...

[Gobalopper]

It is just a server setting. A lot of the sites share the same IP address so anything that is mistyped goes to the default site for that IP which right now is GameLordz. It has nothing to do with your browser, its the server.

NemaFaki is on the Staff...

Spelled differently. Our Nema would never make such a mistake.

*Timenn laughs about that, and winks to Nema...*

Look at the mailing adresse!

Dum dum duuuuum....  :O

[slaphapy]

thats even different tamerlane... where did you find that even? that looks like an exact copy of what this site is... (i havent been here a hugely long time, but is that an older site run by the same people?) it even includes shiroko d2k faq, everything about Emperor, and i was not here in 2000... but it also mentions a ladder system that the "~gobalopper~" is posting about.

[bryorama]

Thats the old one i think, LOL.  :P

[gryphon]

webarchiever is a site that has website archieved. . not really hard to find out I guess. .. the page that is linked to is an old version of www.dune2k.com. I guess it's from 1998 or somewhere close to that .....

[Gobalopper]

Guys the website has been around for over 6 years now. Maybe time to read the sites somewhat outdated history page?

[Dunenewt]

Maybe its time to update it ;)

[Kiyouta]

Maybe he'll do it when a new Dune game comes out. Hell freezing over could cause problems though... :P
