Well, given this thread, and given how long the servers have been down, I think this is the end of Abandonia. To be honest, I felt something was wrong from the moment I saw the new website design. I said at the time it had gone from a cosy site to like a business excel demonstration, and that made me suspicious.

With this new site things like getting a thread response email, clicking the link, having to log in, logging in then taking me to my profile page and from there having to find the thread concerned to post a reply also made me angry! All this means I haven't visited Abandonia half as much since the new site design as I did before the change.

Despite the above - good luck Abandonia, no doubt in a week or so I will pop back and see what happened. Somehow, at the very least, I think the servers will still be down......

Why must the good die young

Well trust me most members here don't have a good opinion about studentis and all the things that happened ever since the partnership started, but there's nothing we can do. If we boycott this site it would just kill it, and the community which doesn't have good opinion about studentis anyway.

If anyone can do anything about this then it is Kosta himself.

Take note I do not want to shut down Abandonia! If it helps some can change the thread title to "Boycott Studentis". I am guilty of being angry and using the title to gain attention.

What I would like to see is the power of the Abandonia community leveraged in away to make Studentis aware of how dangerous it is not to listen and to think that they simply can use people. Because believe me there have been numerous conversations concerning how important it is not to piss off the those that work hard to make Abandonia work. Kosta never stopped saying this while building the new site. But the Studentis leadership seems to always have another agenda, one that does not necessarily include the opinions and ideas of the Abandonia community. I would hate to see Abandonia become ghost town like Student.se which seems to be hanging on by having a popular domain name.

Student.se was fine but now it looks like a cross between lunarstorm and a brochure website. It is totally lifeless and has no personality while being milked for ad revenue. It is one of the sites that is being used for the "Google please buy us campaign". Something we all know will never happen. The originator of the site has moved on to better things about 6 weeks ago. I think that he knew that working with Studentis was a mistake and decided to part ways with them before getting screwed.

The end of Abandonia?

The core of this site knows very well this will never happen. If this site close down, it will open again somewhere else. If we can't use the name "Abandonia" again, we'll simply rename it...

Don't despair. We're here.

I think you are right...if something wrong happens...we could ask asylum to Abandonia Reloaded until things won't be solved, we could reorganize things there.

Btw thanks "carlmcdade", you are answering to several questions we had from long time.

QFT. We did it once, we can do it again.

AR is also owned by Studentis, mind you. If "something wrong" happens, both sites are likely to go down together.

Who's gonna pay for the server? What's the new name? Has anyone sued Studentis yet? Where's my Ovaltine?

Calm down, Kugerfang. There are a few things we can try doing.
