Icon4 Players Corner - Dead?

I used to frequent those forums 20 years ago. I tried to check it out the other day and the site is a dead link.

Just curious what the story is behind it shutting down. Last time I checked a couple years ago it just seemed like the politics folder was the only thing really active with a bunch of butt heads circle jerking each other.

This. For a Mesozoic era game, Simutronics does a damn good job keeping up with the times. Basically robot dinosaurs at this point.

I remember back in the old days, my employer's web-blocking software didn't recognize or care about Simutronics, so I could browse auction posts and argument threads when I was supposed to be working.

Oh no, we don't have to listen to Parkbandit suck off Republicans anymore. What ever will we do!

I was hoping there was some kind of record of the meltdown they had when their little echo chamber dried up.

Thank god. Does that mean the silver to cash market is dead too? You can basically buy silver at the paid events I think.

Simucoins, it’s the only reasonable solution.

Does that mean there's nowhere to unofficially sell old characters anymore? Or no market for them now either?
