Right, in spite of my best efforts, Halomaps.co.uk will NOT be reopening. I'm sorry to dissapoint, but I've been up against it for ages now, and it's just got even worse. I can't be bothered to go into all the details, but a word of warning to any of you who are thinking about crerating a website of any real size...

Do not EVER use 1and1 internet as your host!

They cheat, they lie and they don't even follow thier own rules. I am going to court with this, but to be honest, I don't know how far I'll get. I've collected as much evidence as I can against them, but to give you an idea of what they are like, they refused access to my logs which have the most evidence of all...

Once again, I would like to take this opportunity to say sorry, and thanks for the support you gave a while back. It meant a lot to me...

R.I.P Halomaps.co.uk.

Heyyo,

We may not see another map site as efficient as Halomaps, but hopefully this permanent closure won't impact the HaloCE community too badly..

Well, you made a diff in the HaloCE community muff, and that's already plenty. You've done more thant most people, so yeah, relax man, and just kick back, you've already done your fair share of help. :)

Although I never downloaded custom maps or anything, I hate to see the site go. You put a lot of time into it and it showed. I wish you luck in court. The community here has your back!

Hey muff, sorry to see it come to an end. You had the best site around and did so much for the CE community. I wish you the best of luck in court. Give them what they deserve! You deserve to sit back and relax a little, and I hope you do. Good luck with everything coming up!

Since making this post, I have been approached by someone who wants to help out. It would mean a domain name change (don't know what to yet, his choice...), but he's got my attention. I don't know any of the details yet, and it might not even be what I need, but I need to know if a site name change would bother any of you? Everything would stay exactly as it was except for the name...

What do you think?

Muff, despite the fact that I am a mac user, and am completely unable to play CE maps, i have been screwed time and time again by hosting webites. May you give them hell in court.

Agreeing with Jman, the whole community has got your back. I hate to see someone screwed like this. and also, they are not screwing just you, they're screwing a whole community of people.

Go for it,
Yout3

I'm the person who was offering to help.
He has decided I am somebody who is pretending to be somebody else and therefore no longer wants my help.

I'm annoyed at the fact he said that and then blocked me with no fair explaination.

Seriously, why?

it's nice to hear that the site's reopening (i'v been wanting to update my maps since it closed...), but muff, i'm starting to get suspicious......
are you just pretending to have all these 'problems' in which you 'must' close your site, just to post here and advertise it so that more people will go to it, when you inadvertatly reopen it?


it so, GJ man, it's a swell thing your doing for the halo CE ccommunity



(yes, i am kidding)

He isn't responding.

Just to clarify something else about the server, it is run by a hosting company.

I'll still get that answer and whatever you choose to do with it is your choice.

I've added your Gamertag, you can *talk* to me on XBL and decide yourself if I'm American. :/
