Casioland.net gone?

It appears that the "ticalc.org" of the Casio calculator community has shut down, altough we are not certain if it is a closing or problems encountered by the site. All we know is that the website has gave us a 403 Forbidden error.

Altough the site was in french, it had the biggest Casio games archive on the web and all games were sorted by genres, not to mention many Casio RPGs on Omnimaga were found here, as they were not avaliable anywhere else, even www.casiocalc.org (which had the second biggest casio program archives on the web).

We hope the sites returns.

Ti FTW! Casio FTL! j/k j/k j/k

I didn't even know this site existed. :Ptongue.gif

I fixed a grammatical error in that message that confused me, incase you were wondering what the edit is.

Let's hope that they are just having technical difficulties.

Could you imagine something like this happening to Ticalc?

well sometimes I am worried. I'm sure magnus would continue hosting the site for a long while but it could suddently become inactive for a long while. Just see how slow they are on updating fiel archives and news right now, amount of comments being posted keep decreasing as well.

THat said it seems other sites (except Unitedti) are getting a bit like this atm tho. On Omnimaga few staff post about their projects atm, altough there seems to be more people around this year

As for myself I had lot of life trouble last week and two weeks ago so I didnt felt in the mood for coding really, plus there was the incident with the IRC channel (see news), and when I feel depressed now I try to take my depression inside music making, which is why there hasn't been a metroid update for a while now. I still have to try vuurobin ascii editor though because I've always been willing to rewrite Nemesiat since I saw Harrierfalcon metroid Pi game

Please don't press CTRL+A.

Actually Metroid II Expansion set is almost finished but I still didnt started coding the secret boss fight (this is spoilers, which is why I f***ING TOLD U TO NOT PRESS CTRL+A (j/k it's ok ;-) )), so if I end up giving up on it I will not ditch the entire game I'll just have a super version of metroid Omega (the lava part boss) but make it super hard and the fight will be in one single room battle field instead of a 3x2 room wide battle field. When beating it a chozo will appear and will tell he have to morph into a statue so the metroid doesnt revive (since it does when there's life form around, as stated in metroid II original intro), and to beat mother brain. It will also only be avaliable if u alerady fought metroid omega in the lava zone though if i decide to do this. So if u readed this you now know what needed to be added to metroid II and if I give up you'll still get a release anyway ;-)

ok this means halifax and cure aren't then, as they are younger than that. Delnar even signed up on Omnimaga under the legal age last year so he's most likely not gonna be senior soon :Ptongue.gif
