What the F*#^ Happened Today(contains cursing)

[Paramite of War]

Okay so I'm at school and I get on the internet. I type in Oddworld forums and logo on the new oddworld.com site is at the top. I scroll down and see it's the forums! And it's tottaly new looking and has different Zulags and shit.
I said OH MY GOD THEY CHANGED THE SITE HOW COOL! But also I couldn't login and it said their are 30 registered members at the bottom. I know I tryped in the right address so what the **** happened today!?!?!?


P.S. (Sorry if this is old news or something but I didn't know cause it was really shocking to me.)

I haven't seen any new changes, maybe you accidentally hacked into a hidden place or something?

[Nate]

Perhaps you were looking at it in a different skin and didn't recognise it?

[Paramite of War]

Ya maybe I did hack into something because the forum said it was under new changes and it will be undergoing new changes all week. Also Nate it was not a new skin. There were different discussion threads like movies TV general chat and I think Oddworld discussion. Unless the forums owner is planning something great though theres to many nonoddworld discussions. I think that Lorne Lanning made it for his team to discuss on.

What were the dates from the posts? Recent or old? And was this actually under the oddworld.com domain?

Question 3 is the most important. Because if it wasn't an actual oddworld.com url, then I'd assume it was just an old temporary board or something.

You do know that OWF have no direct relationship to OWI? These here forums are owned by Lord Alcar and Lady Abe Babe, may they live forever.

I would think you went to the wrong URL.

Then what was it because it had that same picture on the oddworld.com site at the top. WIll you help me find out because it was hella cool.

[Majic]

A simple google search yields nothing of what you described. Perhaps we need to call in Bill Murray to investigate your apartment in more detail?

[ziggy]

Maybe you accidentally went to a different site like oddworldforum

[Paramite of War]

Maybe I did Ive never ever even heard of that site though when I went there it was sorta operational. Well cool I guess that solves it

Interesting. There are budding Oddworld discussion alternatives.

OddworldForum.com looks interesting, although it’s not operational, yet. Is the style of that graphic familiar with anyone involved in the fanart scene?

http://oddworldforum.net looks…pointless. I can’t see a single Oddworld discussion on it. It reminds me of the ‘unofficial Oddworld Inhabitants site’. This is created by a person called Christian A. As you may notice, he has taken a lot of content from TOE and replicated it, completely without permission.

There is an alternative OWF that the forums occasionally reverted to when this site died for a long time. I think it might have been made in a server called Ezboards.

I found it once when OWF wasn't down, I think through google. A year or two ago around September the forums were down for over a month and the admins didn't link to it, so maybe it doesn't exist anymore.

Check the history on your school computer (the clock on the icon bar at the top, or if you're using tabbed browsing, through the favourites bar, ask a friends or a teacher if you can't find it). That should let you return to sites you were on previously. You might have to be on the same computer you originally found the site with.

The Oddworldforum.net looks absolutely pointless. Wouldn't it be illegal for them to have stolen the picture from OW.com?
And that Christian A is a complete git. People like that make me wonder if they're a true Oddworld fan by copying everything from others.

Max, I know who did the first one, Oddworldforum.com
It was Elodie, the creator of Slog Meat forums, which is still supposed to be under construction, but I think is now closed. It seems like they must have made this one, too.

[Wil]

Thanks, Cullen. Shame about Slogmeat, I was always looking forward to it.

[Cullen Heath]

Yeah, me too. It seemed like they would have done a really nice job with it, considering they had such a good start.

[Paramite of War]

Turns out that the oddworldforum.net is the one I just forgot the s on the end lol
And whats the story behind the slogmeat forums?
