So yeah, this is going to be a gloat filled blog post about S3HD, a project that I personally wanted to see go down the drain, and something that I've been following in the background to be there when it all goes to crap.
This current ordeal started out with a blog post I did earlier this year that told MY history with the project, my beefs with it, and why I wanted to see it destroyed. After that post, I let it stew for a bit. I was positive that someone affiliated with the project would stumble onto my blog and the shitstorm would begin. I let it stew for 2 months, wanting to make sure that a discussion would be in full swing and that they'd be good and pissed. However, once I let it boil and stew and smolder and whatever type of snowball effect you want to say, I tried to check the site. To my slight annoyance, but great happiness, I found the site down. The last Wayback Machine crawl of the main site is from July, but I didn't want that. Unfortunately, the last crawl of the forums is from July 2012, almost a year before I even made the blog entry in question, so I can't see if they found it.
So that brings me to deducing what happened. Checking the facebook page shows that an "unknown problem" is plaguing the site and they're busy working to fix it. Personally, I think someone either got sick of Devinator and Gemster's shit and decided to make the site go bye-bye. Would I do something like that? Hell no. Why should I directly be the cause of their troubles when it's obvious that they're just going to kill each other, and by further extension, the project, in the end? I want Gemster and Devinator's idiocy and short-sightedness to the be reason this project dies, not an outside force or someone who thinks they're being funny.
Either way, it's still a pretty hilarious turn of events for these idiots. Let's hope they get their site back up so we can see them go at each other's throats and ruin themselves.
Because the forum and site are down, if you wish to let Devinator and Gemster know about good ol' Betaman and what he thinks of this whole thing, be sure to link this blog entry on their Facebook page:

And please link my first post too, just in case they haven't seen it yet.
