Alek announces closure of Dark-Alex.org forums

"Closure Announcement of Dark-AleX.org Forum.

Within the following announcement, we announce the closure of Dark-AleX.org forum, after one year of working, more than 50,000 users, more than 170,000 messages, and more than 15,000 threads. With those statistics, that have gone generally within more than 450 messages, 40 threads and 130 new users per day, we are more than just satisfied about the results and about what we have reached.

There are many reasons. The forum, by itself, has been a challenge. A challenge that, without any doubt, has exceeded all of our expectatives, and a challenge that now, after all that we have been through, we find ourselves happy and proud of having gone this far. However, its, professionally speaking, a moment for evolving and taking ourselves a little time for relax and so we can study whats next.

Since the beginning, the people' answer has been something amazing and indescribable, something that we won't have enough grateful words, and that fills us of satisfaction. This support has been so huge that we have found ourselves overwhelmed, and when we wanted to give the deserved service for each user, we have gone into problems and we have got to take this hard but consistent decition; that, the same way as we wield a smile when all this was starting, this last decition makes us sad, but we know that is the best choice at the moment.

Again, thanks to all, to our moderators, to our friends, to our old and new partners, to the English Zone and their help to this project, and everyone of you that have helped us on any terms.

Lastly, if any user is interested on recovering any part or any thread of the forum, please contact with the following e-mail: [email protected] so we can deliver what you need.

And remember, you always have to your disposal our IRC as a place in where you can chat, you can laugh with us, and as a cool reason to make a reunion and remember old times, as after all this is not a "goodbye", but a "cya" ;-)

Sincerely,

Admin and Webmaster of Dark-AleX.org"

Mod's note: It has not been mentioned above that Dark_Alex is leaving the scene. Only the Dark-Alex.org forum is closing, that which is actually maintained by someone else called Alek, a totally different person. Don't get it confused folks, okay?

Yeah, then those "Russians" behind M33 turned out to be him. :P

Although, this could be real.

**Thomly** · August 27th, 2009, 13:15

he didn't say anything about leaving the scene.

He just closes his forum, he still has a blog and stuff.

i heard that 5.50 M33 is supposed to be released like in 2 days, but its just a rumor, which i hope is true lol

The reporter of this is using a misleading title and some speculation

when whats happening is clearly laid out and why RIGHT THERE in the post

:thumbup:

**ojdon** · August 27th, 2009, 14:45

The topic is misleading, then again so is the quote until the last sentence.

**Cloudhunter** · August 27th, 2009, 17:52

Just because the forum is shutting down it doesn't mean that Dark_AleX is leaving the scene - The forum is run by Alek, not Alex... They are seperate people.

Methinks people should learn to read before putting mislabled headers, and that the topic title should be changed... And perhaps the content too - as this is front page news and VERY misleading.

Just my $0.02.
