IGN killing more gaming history, this time: The Forums

On June 18, GameSpy will transition off of the current messageboard software and onto the same Disqus commenting software that powers article comments on IGN. The good news is that it's much more modern software that's easier to use and manage, and is nowhere near as flakey or prone to giving you unhelpful error messages when something goes wrong. The bad news, which is impossible to sugarcoat, is that these forums and everything on them will wink out of existence.

I anticipated this and made mirrors just 3 months ago: http://archive.org/details/Forumplanet. … comArchive

I will make a new mirror with a better wget and some better settings.

It looks like at least my old planetquake forum mirror is missing a lot, ouch.
