4 years later...all good things must actually come to an end

I can't seem to edit this journal but also wanted add thanks to Ohurcool & Thomm for keeping the delete button well used and keeping the site usable against the spambots

<3

i was 16 when i joined crossfire I think, now I am 29. it's insane to think about really to be attatched to some website, but it's about the community not the url. even if i havent been active for the past 3-4 years... thanks for keeping up the memories, everything comes to an end, or more like everything is in motion and changes. it would be cool to archive all of the articles, movies and stuff, not sure how possible it is but yeah

checked my profile, member for 18 years and 2 months.. what is time? LOL

cya crossfire <3

rip

<3 rip, great memories

Thanks for everything stew! RIP My profile :(

RIP, when is the final shutdown ?

<3

I was here

rip in rip

Thank you for all the things you and your staff have done for ET over the years through crossfire. Maybe someone can take over the domain and host a static page to redirect users to where the community is.

cu lan

Its time. RiP and Thx for the 1000 cless posts I could make haha <3

Thanks, GG & <3

Shoutout to everyone I played with and against!

#ALMIGHTY.ET

It was a great run while it lasted. Thanks to everyone for the great memories. And a special thanks to TosspoT for keeping it going well beyond what we could've asked for.

I'm seriously going to miss going through old messages, journals, news articles. Loads of great memories will shortly become a complete thing of the past.

What date will be the last day?

Coincidentally I am seeing this now, rarely do I log in anymore.

I remember the predecessor, xfire.be, about 20 years ago. Then this website came . For years I participated and was active on this website. Had great times! Although I certainly still play games occasionally, life has moved on (two daughters in the meantime...).

Thanks TosspoT and others who made this website, as well as the beautiful LANs, possible!

Bye :-)

:candle:

:(

I'm not so sure which privacy laws this website is in breach of but @TosspoT, if you are still reading this and you have my phonenumber (as I only have your old UK number which you probably don't use anymore) then contact me, so we can have a short talk about possible solutions to keep the site up.

It always do something when Tosspot announce something like this..
Crossfire has been part of Wolfenstein History and seeing it disappear is a part of Wolfenstein who disappear toi

Would have been great to keep some good old Journals & co

I know there are archivals thing like "Wayback Machine" and co

https://web.archive.org/

Where we can save "forever" some pages

Thank you Tosspot

The day has finally come.

Thanks to all for the games and being a huge part of my younger years.

We need another community we can all go to.

Time to take screenshots of profiles etc…

All the best.

<3

Please archive the entire site somewhere.

18 years, 2 months and 12 days, was hoping this would get to 20 years :,)

How about: hold on until the site is 20 years old, have a 20 year anniversary event and go out with a bang!

I won't cry... I won't cry...

I won't...

Too much information and history.

Would be great if someone could host it and do some small fixes to avoid the spam bots.

It's been an amazing run. Thanks everyone for making it possible.
Just a few days ago i discovered a shared file on my Google Drive called CF4 Bugs (from when i was a tester), created in 2012... 10 years ago!

Goodbye friends

Sad to see this go, youth memories with great nostalgia, it's like visiting a town you've left after several years, finding familiar spots.
Have a nice life y'all. :<

Bye bye this was a great Community

<3

Take care guys!! Memories will last forever. <3

Thanks for the great memories and keeping it alive for this long!

After more than 16 years I am still visiting this site regularly.
Probably more frequently than I use facebook.
Sad to see this site go down.

For people who want to stay in touch with each other, there is a Telegram Group:
https://t.me/+9Bk-JqxolrQyNGM0
same group, different link:
https://t.me/crossfire.nu

Maybe the domain crossfire.nu can stay alive and just redirect to a page with further information to new communities (discord,telegram...)?

Just migrate the website to some cheaper provider. I am pretty sure there are a lot of ET oldies willing to host it for free.
This is the last piece of rtcw / ET history and u want to kill it :(

Thanks for all the effort everyone put in this website. It has been fun!

weird coincidence that I keep visiting this site once every leap year when it's due for closing.. :)
thanks again, then, and good bye :)

Since the Steam release, I’ve seen a huge increase in the ET content on YouTube. People are actually more active than ever and there’s possibility of building a new community. It’ll be full of low skilled players but weren’t we all like that? Costs on hosting this site and content should not be expensive.

Get over to the Steam ET forums and you’ll see activity, then begin promoting. Special events, popular YouTuber promotions etc…. The old gal doesn’t need to die.

Thanks for the memories everybody! :)

Good times.

All the best everyone, it was a fantastic run.

Hello guys!

I’m probably on the point of it like many of you and visiting this amazing website just few times per year to remind good old times with ET and can’t even realize that website could be down 4 ever..

I was wondering last week if there is any chance to keep this game alive on competitive level. It is really difficult to find like 60-70 people to do something like one day cups at least once a month?

Going back to the website closure topic :

Tosspot, did you think to open some donations to keep this website alive? I’m pretty sure that a lot of us could pay some penny (including myself) to help keep this alive?

EDIT:
Really I believe that donations idea could help us to keep this website alive. @Tosspot I’m guessing if you spent +/- £3k for keep it for last 4 years it cost now monthly like £60/70? I’ve seen just in this article that we have a lot of members could pay anything. When it’s a renewal date? I could pay for a month at least for now if needed. Next year ET will celebrate 20 years since release date and that could be a good opportunity to celebrate it together here. I’m quite busy now till end of the year but from the new year I can help with some things here, if needed.

As I mentioned above - I was wondering if there is any chance to keep ET competitive scene alive and I was thinking if we’ll setup donations as regular basis on monthly subscriptions or something similar, then we should easily go above of major topic target (keep this website alive) and use surplus for example to organize a one day cup once a month at least with prizes or something. What’s the best motivation to play a game if not money? ;) sounds like lottery but at least on the end, even if you loose - it will be a good evening with old ET lads ;)

Who knows - maybe finally we will be surprises by Activision/ID or whoever got rights to the Wolfenstein games right know next year :)

Its the Inevitable End thats finally coming :( <3

16 years, 10 months and 28 days

So I was 13 y old when I made my account here. xD Time sure flies...

GOOD BYE ALL

rip <3

Good memories from this site and game.

Was nice meeting you TosspoT and have a beer. I remember 1 beer was enough for me :D

18 years, 3 months and 3 days and still counting. But... only 999 profile hits. Overrated for sure ! :D

I check the website now and then but i've stopped playing ET on a decent level in 2007. CPC2 was for sure my highlight.
36 years old now. Married for five years. 2 sons. God damn, i feel old.

I will never forget what the game ET was all about. I thank everyone who made my ET time a great time !

Shoutout to TosspoT !

Shoutout to all the rest, cZar/zerobarrier, moomoofarm and pstarZ in particular !

homo fucks :D

RIP in peace sweet prince

ET is out of G.A.S. GJ guys, you still managed to make it sail for many years. I wish much fun for your upcoming LAN!

I return to CF from time to time and check who is alive. Miss this like football with childhood friends. Fortuntely I am still in touch w some HU/EU CLANMATES:)

Shout out to my HUN mates and to those HUNS who I dont rly like :D, Savak, Belgian o6, shmoe's Well educated hurensohn community velerion, pWs, the worst Q3 player: z3R0, wheelchairskillaDman, veryoldbv. Rip twnzy! Szeretlek TrojAn. raypiel's gunz.

CU Ventrilo 20:00, Radar tax then selfdestruction vs low+ IRC war:)

Love and Best wishes! May the PBBan catch us all

<3

Hope the site is archived (someone will probably have to go scrape it all).

Goodbye everyone.

17 years, 2 months and 4 days , it was a grateful ride so many teenage memories around here and met so many people from other countries while making friendships , best times ever.
You will be missed xfire / cf but not forgotten , </3 rip .

gg

just 3 words: Thank you TosspoT!

it was a good time

Thanks for all the memories guys.

I feel honoured to have been part of almost everybody's crossfire / ET experience during these 20 years and I apologise for my past prepubescent behaviour. We were all very young and immature, and now all old(er) and hopefully more mature.

It is now time to rest my banhammer, along with this website.

Thank you TosspoT for setting up the foundations of this community and game. I still remember the first time we met face to face at CiC7, some memories I will cherish forever.

Will miss you all so much.

Good times! Best wishes to all!!

Thanks for keeping this running for so long.

Thanks for everything and good bye <3

Many thanks TosspoT for running this site so long, and for everything you did for this community. Thanks to all for the good and memorable games and for all the fun this game has given.

18 years and 8 days
Profile hits: 1337

Thank you for everything.

I hope there will be some kind of archive for crossfire. I'm still thinking about the old xfire and swertcw from time to time. Would love to see the old sites once more. ;(

18 years, 3 months and 12 days. Atleast my profile hit adulthood before its demise.

16 years, 7 months and 1 day

good times

RIP, will be missed

so that Ronner hosting it, is no opportunity or what? stop saying its the end. if u shut this site down, it will be dead #that would be sad and doesn't make any sense, I can understand u don't wanna "waste" money for a kinda dead project. but if u shut it down it will be dead forever even though it isn't.

It was great to be a part of this community. ET will forever remain the best FPS package a game could offer.

Wow, has it really come to an end? It's been so long since I've first visited xfire.be, met some awesome people and had great times, as I still hop on to ET now and then it's devastating that all this will cease to exist :(

To all the people that I know and everyone here, stay well and thank you for awesome times!

Best. Game. Ever.

Rather than "takeover", maybe you can take a backup of the disk before the server goes down, in case someone did want to publish an archive of journals etc

I created account over 16 years ago :<.

What is the date of... the end?

Only check back here every now and then for nostalgia reasons but always think about what others play these days (if anything at all).

Anyway, it was a blast but probably the right call to make.

Best wishes everyeone!

RONNER WILL SAVE THE DAY.

Im sure some of the people would actually donate each month for the site to stay alive, in 4 years 3k€ divided by xxx players shouldnt be that much.. Im up for it :)
