campmajor! · July 13, 2001, 06:39

Is anyone able to access this site?

Or is Dan still updating it.

LaRusso · July 13, 2001, 06:44

Dan is still REGISTERING it. IP assigned is something like 10.0.10.0....I swear to God, I have never seen something like that

Watch while it attempts to load...

MarkG · July 13, 2001, 06:45

one of the domain servers is still the activision one...

MarkG · July 13, 2001, 06:47

actually larusso, civ3.com used to be owned by activision. if infogrames bough it, or if activision just gave it away is unknown...

campmajor! · July 13, 2001, 06:49

Maybe this site is going up in October 2001?

LaRusso · July 13, 2001, 06:50

i was just kidding about registering it. obviously it is already registered

Robert Plomp · July 13, 2001, 07:33

pherhaps I should hurry and register civ4.com and civ5.com

Robert Plomp · July 13, 2001, 07:35

civ4.com has already been registered

but NOT by a game company !!

those kiwis are ahead of the game.

I'll register civ 10 for my retirenment plan

campmajor! · July 13, 2001, 09:38

Maybe they'll use civ2.5.com...

Robert Plomp · July 13, 2001, 09:53

Pherhaps it's a good idea to register civ5.com
and pherhaps it's not.

If I wonder too long over it one of you guys might have done it.
But on the other hand, who says civ4 will see the day of light ?

But then again, it's really not much money.
And on the other hand, pherhaps they'll sue me.

ack

somebody help me !!

campmajor! · July 13, 2001, 09:56

If you're planning on registering, you should have a long
breath, since civ3 is taking them 3 years now....

Robert Plomp · July 13, 2001, 10:04

nah, registration could be done in 2 or 3 days !
lemmie check if civilization3.com is still available....

Markos, why didn't you register any of those domain names ?
It would provide you for sure with loads of hits (and pherhaps they'll click your adds

)

BTW, will www.apolyton.net be featured on the box ?
I should request it if I were apolyton.net !

campmajor! · July 13, 2001, 10:15

I meant that it will take a while before the website will be
needed...

If civ3 will take 3 years, and civ4 will do the same, then your civ5.com won't be needed till 2007!

Gramphos · July 13, 2001, 12:29

To me www.civ3.com shows up to be Telia (Swedish Telecom Company.)

actually yes, the full title of the game is
"Sid Meier's Civilization III, A Firaxis/Apolyton Design"

I miss the 'directed by CyberShy' part !
shouldn't it be more likd: Sid Meier's Civilization III, A Firaxis/Apolyton Design, directed by CyberShy

Then you can of course add stuff like "Premature complained at by Yin, Fake fan-website by MarkG, delay by Ming (after sending the whole Firaxis team one a one week vacation trip)"

Now we talk about it, do you know, MarkG, that a big load of so called 'fan-sites' are in fact build by professional website developpers, hired by the official companies ? That's because a 'fansite' offtenly has more loyal visitors, it can 'leak' information etc. etc. etc.

(now don't become to proud since I named the 'fake' developpers 'professional website developpers', since the article said as well that the sites oftenly had been made 'ugly' to complete the trick.)

Can we be sure that you're not hired by Firaxis ?

if so and I won't tell anybody.............. uh........ well....?

Do you know Lotus Domino ?
That's THE way to build online databases !
Unfortunately not much people web programmers know about it.

I have, for example, build a messageboard that's very alike to this one on it.

Rasputin · July 14, 2001, 07:01

i cant get anything form this .. just keep getting timed out errors

smellymummy · July 14, 2001, 14:59

Domino? PHP, eh? I personally preffer pizza hut.

So is ->civ3 going to be "the" firaxis civlization 3 site? Would be fun to see it up right now with a playable demo like they did with SMAC (before the release of the game)... I overplayed that demo when it came out

Admiral PJ · July 14, 2001, 19:08

talking about registering domains,
www.terminator3.com isn't registered, and they're making that film now

Robert Plomp · July 14, 2001, 19:14

terminator3.com / .net / .org have all been registered.

)
