I was planning on donating some money soon to help with upkeep, but in it's current state I don't believe that would be a very sound investment. Here's hoping Abandonia makes a come-back soon.

"The administrators" don't run the site. Kosta does. There is a difference.

Since right now the only people who can do anything with the main site are Kosta and the Studentis crew, all of us are in the position of not being able to do jack anything except waiting.

maybe they could at least get us old page back before they fix this piece of site

@Adamg: do you really think they changed the whole site only to let it die? :confused:

He's completely right when he says that the site looks dead. The forums looks dead too. We used to have 2, 3 pages of new posts/topics in a quiet day, now we can't even fill one except for those odd days. AR forums sometimes have more new posts than this place, and AR is very far from being a high traffic site!

However, even if it looks dead, we the regulars knows it's not. And the point of the administrator giving access to others to maintain the site if he don't have the time anymore is fully valid, but unfortunatly that's exactly what happened: Kosta decided to allow a group to "overhaul" the site and change it to the next version. The problem is that, it didn't end up with a good result. And by what I know (or I think I know), it's like a contract: Kosta can't go around and place the old website back until Studentis is done with the whole project.

The site looks dead??
Wait a minute, didn't you all noticed that we are having 100 new members everyday?
Since the new site is up we passed from about 11000 to 18000 members!
About Kosta and studentis group you're right, we are all waiting.

More than that, Kosta is the only person with the ability to contact the Studentis people. Thus, when there's anything that needs fixing on the main site the report has to go through his hands first, and if he happens to be unavailable at that time... well, I think you can imagine the result.

Nope... Those 7000 new members are not posting much, aren't they?

I remember I was in favor of deleting all the 0 or 1 post wonders a few months ago... That would probably place the member count back to what? 1000 max?

Yes, but it's different, site and forum members are the same thing now, so we don't have to talk about the forum only, the community is growing: games, screenshoots quiz, Ab frequency, pieces of eight and many other thing are doing a good job IMO.

Me too , but we can't think the same thing now, like I said many people register here for other reasons now, not only to post

[Eagle of Fire]

Then it makes your whole comment null and void...

[Dave]

No, you didn't get my point .
