This is true. When you can wear a bulletproof bathrobe and roam the wasteland, stealing things and shooting monsters and romancing fine women and flinging corpses off of skyscrapers...well, hell. It's practically Horsehockey The Video Game.Ben McClellan II wrote:We are still back, but Lots42 curiously hasn't written anything yet.
He can't tear himself away from that Fallout video game, evidently...
Horsehockey.org has vanished from the internets!

By the way...
There's still no news, and Reaibn still hasn't answered any messages from me. Curiously, I posted a Facebook status unrelated to Horsehockey that he liked, so he's still alive.
So, until he says for certain that he's not interested or able in keeping the site going, assume that he's just really busy and will get around to it eventually.

I've just found that the Internet Wayback Machine does have Reaibn's forum archived, must recently from almost 12 months ago. Infuriatingly, if you try to read anything it wants you to login and, unsurprisingly, it doesn't recognise one's old username and password. I wanted to take copies of the various Horsehockey and Never Ending Quest story guides that were posted there. I already have any that I posted myself, but not the ones that Reaibn posted.
The horsehockey.org home page is also on the IWM, but since none of the PHP files have been archived that's not much use.

Checking whois, the domain horsehockey.org is still taken, presumably by Reaibn, so he hasn't let it die completely.
But it would be nice if he actually was answering messages about whether or not the site is coming back, or if he's given up on it.

I tried emailing him yesterday on an old gmail address that I have for him (the one based on his real name rather than as Reaibn). I don't know if he still monitors that address, but at least gmail didn't bounce the email back to me so the account still exists.Ben McClellan II wrote:Checking whois, the domain horsehockey.org is still taken, presumably by Reaibn, so he hasn't let it die completely.

At this point, unless Reaibn saved everything we posted, I'm more interested in starting over with a clean slate. I know I haven't contributed too much here lately, but I have had an idea or two kicking around for Horsehockey v5.0 over the past week.
Don't worry, it won't be another epic length episode like last time. I still wonder if that was a big catalyst in scaring people off.

I've just discovered, to my surprise, that http://otlforum.blogspot.co.uk/ still exists. Admittedly there hasn't been a post to it since 2012.

Re: Horsehockey.org has vanished from the internets!
Horsehockey V is coming soon. Unfortunately I do not have a backup of HH IV, which grieves me to no end. I am shopping for a web host now.
EDIT: Also, OnTheLine forums will also be returning and will be our home base, with the OnTheLine discord as a backup/easy place to chat. The discord is set up now if anyone wants the link.
