Journals
First the master server (browser) is down
The vast majority of ET movies, configs and other ET related shit is gone. (Megaupload).
There has been about 8 journals since yesterday.
2 comments on the last tutorial with little views
TZAC going to be closed down for good
PB doesn't support ET
CF4.0 has failed, and the community will not accept it.
4 teams per month max actually make it past the 2week mark. In 2006 ET had around 2000 2 week teams a week.
Interviews section is dead and consisting of med/+ players
The last ET movie added to the DB was 28th December 2011.
SWERTCW died alongtime ago, and so did my soul.
More ET communities shut down
YCN will cease to exist by the end of this year due to hardware costs.(hello flood).
The ET's DEATH IS NIGH gets more responses than the movies on here.
+ many more
BYE ET...
2003-2006 <3 iDan loves you.

ET dead soon =[...
Was awesome community back in the early days of 2003-2006, sadly I know nothing after that date as I quit. I only joined CF when I quit ET :P.
Since the server list is down new players will download, look for game... doesn't work... uninstall... lost potentially 1000's of players :(.
ET will be dead by the end of this year, 100%. The only people playing it will be nubs on the last server left against bots.
Halo demo is more active than ET looool.
It's a shame as ET was my first true love.
DIE ET, DIE!
Why not just say 4000 teams every 2 weeks? o.o
shit happens regarding movies, new ones will be made or people can upload them again.
there were like 50 journals today or more.
i go on crossfire everyday for years and i never clicked the tutorials section, probably the same for the majority. proves nothing.
tzac being closed down depends on chaplja's income, not definite but possible. eslwire will take over if it does.
why does et need pb updates anyway?
cf 4.0 hasn't failed, nobody likes change, deal with it.
how the fuck do you know about teams nowadays?
so sqzz, jyrkz, mant and sup3r (the only players in recent interviews) are medskilled and POSSIBLY med+?
CF went longer without a fragmovie in 2009, i remember it actually. there was a movie by nuggan recently but he only posted it to journals :)
swertcw lol
thats what happens every day? etnation died like 3 years ago
we'll see about ycn
"BYE ET" good fucking riddance you aren't even part of the community, just deactivate your account and rid us of your cancer attitude.
e: also funny that you mention the tutorial getting only 2 comments making et dead, when the tutorial is an RTCW one, what a fucking bellend you are :D
Someone mentioned the megaupload downtime, and it got me thinking about it.
I don't want ET to die no more than you do, I loved the game and wish it could continue.
When games are FREE they're never backed by companies. The only way someone is going to save ET is by putting £1000's into it. They would need a major company to take over and brand their name all over it.
My list was a mere show of a few examples, I could carry on if needed.
ET is dead when the new players show no interest, and let's face it, kids nowadays only look for 1 thing and that is if you can 360 no scope across the map whilst switching to claymore.
Having the server list down is a fuck you to new players, and you know that. Just because you think you have a 'comfortable position' on this website, this is 'practically the ONLY USER BASE IN ET'. Having a browse of the server list all I see is XPsave with BOTS, there's hardly any new names from what I can see. Just because Crossfire says '40000+ registered users' doesn't mean all of them are separate accounts. The whole ET community consists of around 400, and when I say community, I mean people who play the game actively.
It's true that MW3 has over half a million players online RIGHT NOW on just 1 console... they must be doing something right.. oh wait, ET is better than MW3 and anyone who plays anything other than ET are noobs and have no skill... oh wait, you have no logic tard.
MW will still be alive in 12 years, for 1 it made more money than ET before it was even released (hello free game), people will support it, and console sales are up because of 1 game.
Games will NOT succeed without MONEY... logic you knob.
Achieved a lot more than you.
Know a lot more than you.
Much more skilled than you'll ever be.
Have a real life and GF, unlike you.
Enjoy life, unlike you.
Don't smell my fingers, like you.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL OWNED OMG SO FUCKING PRO
#2 no you haven't (and you never will)
#3 i wonder how you got that information (hint: your own ignorant beliefs)
#4 no you aren't (and never will be)
#5 i a GF+RL too and i dont need to brag about it (unlike you)
#6 i enjoy my life too, why should i inform people about that on a gaming forum? (you obviously aren't happy otherwise you wouldn't vent your anger at a free pc game)
#7 that is the worst insult i ever read, just leave.
"My list was a mere show of a few examples, I could carry on if needed."
that's the point, nothing you wrote is worth anything at all. you are just mentioning shit someone else has already mentioned, that serves no purpose. admit it or you're just making yourself look like a retard with senseless contributions like this.

Let go Artstar, it's ok bro, it's ok.
Get a grip and get a real life.
hasty generalization
funny thing is community has to accept it once it is life :p
enemy territory
chose one.
dont actually think it will become any less active than it is right now.
"nothing happened this month"
which is not the case, as your extensive list shows. They are all based on opinion afterall. It is always amusing to see that the game is generally branded as dead by players who either:
a) never achieved anything in the game.
b) played early on, just to get ego boost you say that the game isnt as good as before.
c) even if they played early days, they never achieved anything in those times, main achievement is playing back then.
d) bitter bitter bitter etc.
realistically a game is dead when no one is playing it, ESL WL had a lot of signups, so its ok for now - perhaps needs some boosting but.
hundreds of gtv matches and it's only 20 days through the month, but no, nono, et is nearly dead hehe.
I agree with you at some points, like the Interview part, but can't really take things like this journal seriously since I am not really interested in online competition, dont even know if it exists : d ... not in ET! Also if there were 10 LANs a year with 300.000.000$ prize I wouldnt play, waste of life. Having a GF is ten times more challenging than winning a duel against best players in ET (and now I mentioned some real gods from 3/+ years ago, no respect for current kings :DDD)
Online Games are fun to play if you have the same crazy minded company as you and giant laughs... playing with friends is much bigger motivation and fun for me than playing with exhaxorpro+ newcommer noobs who are domianting the game. Shoutout: car7maN, Seewi, z3R0` : ]
e: This sh_t will die for sure, whole eSports will be different. No keyboard and shit, technologies like xbox kinect will take over, PC gaming will die in some years, so prepare yourself and start real sports otherwise you will be f_cked
