oh dear indeed then :sad:

I cant find the battlebots website anywhere.

Me neither...is it gone completely? I thought they were coming back! :sad:

yeah, it just says, Quote, Internet Explorer Cannot Display The Webpage, End Quote

Yes, we know that Ben, but thanks for refreshing our memories. :P

Marien, what was the last you heard on it and at what time?

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!








(COUGHS)

Ive tried a couple of times over the last 3 weeks. Before that, the last I saw of it was 2 weeks after the first posting here, March 10th.

Maybe theyre revamping it...no, wait, if that were true then theyd put a SITE UNDER MAINTENANCE sign on something like that on it instead of deleting the page entirely...

:sad:

The site doesnt show up on google?

Itd be the first result, and it aint there.

I cant believe its gone

Nor can we, and it shall be sorely missed...

Theres still Roaming Robots and RFL though.

Good news, Battlebots isnt gone, somebody hacked the server, it should be back up soon

Where did you find that out?

the Gametechmods forum

Can you give us a link to the exact spot where you found the info? Because Im having a hard time believing it.

The BB site wont be up anytime soon - but they plan to have a create a blog to keep people up to date on the tournament

Woody, that link is broken, it sends me to somewhere where I have to sign-up for something. :S

Ok heres the link:

Heh, it tells us to go to RFL, probably the link Woody is trying to send. Thanks Ben, but now I need Woody to clear up the link. :)

Im signed up to the RFL ...So the link works fine for me :).
Sign up yourself ...its free.

Well as much as I like the RFL and some of its main competitors, I dislike their forum with a passion (actualy, every Delphi forum really).

Its not because of the contents itself, but the adverts, the layout, the vague search, the you need to be a plus member to do X stuff. I just dont like it at all.

That being said, it is an important medium of communication, just like this forum is, so I read it once in a while, all be it with dread.

The link Woody gave works, it is that you get a advert the first time you click it. skip the advert and you will see the posting.

Doesnt work for me either, just get a blank frame surrounded by adverts.

Thats weird, I tried it again and I got an advert for some kind of online dating service, and after i clicked skip it went to the right page.

As Leo says
As a non member the first page that your directed to is an advert... there isnt any alternative route unless you sign up ....scroll down the page and click SKIP....you should then be forwarded to the RFL Forum.

The only solution is to sign up.

Note that Delphi is funded by advertising.

and as a free member you still get the first advert page.

Battlebots has a new website, its under construction, but it should be finished soon
