What happened to UK Resistance?

gnort · 4th May 2002, 03:56 PM

Anybody know what happened to UK Resistance? I really enjoyed that site, but it seems to have been replaced by a horrid pop-up generating placeholder site.

Did the failure of the Dreamcast become too much for them to bear?

Well since UKResistance stopped covering Sega games and dedicated itself to porn and making fun of the elderly a good two years ago I doubt this has anything to do with the Dreamcast.

I haven't visited it in ages though - hope it's just a temp thing.

I noticed when I was compiling the HerV4 links page - and it's been down for a few weeks now. Strange for the site to just disappear unannounced like that.

I hope it comes back but I think after alienating Sony fans, then Sega fans, then the readers of the site - I'm not sure what they'd do for an encore.

Alienate Microsoft and Nintendo fans.

I really liked the site because it didn't pander to any fans, it just took shots at anything it saw as being stupid.

True, but in the last months of its life it was so bitter and hateful, they just picked up on stuff on their message boards and posted it on the front page going "YOU ARE STUPID IF YOU THINK THIS:" ...

I really hope the new HerV has more of that UKR charm. Fake news never hurt anyone.

We're all pinning our hopes on the chance the HerV4 code will achieve self-awareness and write content for the site by itself.

***Andy*** · 4th May 2002, 04:13 PM

Maybe - but if you were aware that you were HerV wouldn't you just kill yourself? Oh wait.

The fourth attempt will have it's hari-kiri abilities removed.

So then what? Red's going to spawn an ever angsting webpage? Will it have an AT-field? Will it have nubile 14 year old pilots?!?! :D~~

The HERV is comprised of 3 parts... BOLthasar (the hervatron as a 13 year old), Smellchior (the hervatron as hating to win) and Mashpar (the hervatron as a scrub).
