Possibly the worst gaming news ever. May have happened a while ago and I missed it, but it hasn't been up so far as I have noticed for well over a month. Hopefully my ISP has just blocked them for overwhelming traffic or something...

There's a server there. At least entering any URL with anything other than "/index.html" sends you to the 404 page, but the content is certainly offline.

I remember going there a couple of months ago, everything was normal. Hopefully, if there's been some server mishap, they kept backups.

In the meantime, the Wayback Machine's capture from July 27th was already a blank page, but the one from June 29th seems to be all right: https://web.archive.org/web/20190629104220/http://www.colonizationfans.com/

Oh no! I hadn't noticed this either. That was a brilliant and pretty much the only Col resource site. :(

Cheers for posting the wayback link. I was about to go check there but you've saved me the trouble!

Here is a link to the website I always used. This one has a ton of info, plus to patch downloads needed.

Or not...it will not let me post links. SOOOOO....

it is www-dot-colonization-dot-biz


NOTE: I am looking at the site now. There is something fishy with it, as you cannot actually click on the page, or some stupid pop-up comes up. Use the scroll bar to move up and down, and right-click on links to open them. That seems to work just fine.

Yeah this is TERRIBLE news. TERRIBLE. I wish I would have downloaded the whole colonizationfans.com website. Can we reach out to the people behind it somehow??
