I noticed for like the past 10 hours or so (I wasn't checking all that time though lol) that the main site is down... maybe it's getting updated? The mostly likely story though is that Monolith had to shutdown it's server for awhile... Sad
I did a WhoIs lookup, and it appears that captainclaw.com will expire in 2007...

Domain Name: CAPTAINCLAW.COM
Registrar: NETWORK SOLUTIONS, LLC.
Whois Server: whois.networksolutions.com
Referral URL: http://www.networksolutions.com
Name Server: NS-A.PNAP.NET
Name Server: NS-B.PNAP.NET
Name Server: NS-C.PNAP.NET

Updated Date: 04-feb-2006
Creation Date: 05-apr-1996
Expiration Date: 06-apr-2007


So we defiantely need to redirect people here as much as possible until now and then
BTW is this site (Gunner's Forum) in Google? (Belated Claw fansite too?) That would help some Wink

Monolith's server is occasionally down for maintenance, captainclaw.com will probably be back up in a day or so.

Yeah, both this forum and my site are on Google.

Best not to forget to make backups of all the downloads available on the claw site?

Especially wapworld.

P.S. Gunner's site doesn't exactly show up in my google searchresults. However, if you search on "captain claw levels" mine pops up nearly the first. Just in case I'll replace the link of the claw forum with this forum's link. It might as well help.

True. I mostly stay there for humour value and to redirect Claw players here.

Still saddens me Monolith doesn't care after Claw anymore, and will let the site vanish. Dispite all the new games these days I still find Claw amusing to play with a rather good storyline, and the ambience is just perfect.

I'd like to thank this community for trying to keep it alive, so, thank you Smile

Hmm.. Yes.. They should see how big and important Claw actually has become to us but I guess they wouldn't... Rolling Eyes But as long it's not totally abandoned, I'm happy...

The lead programmer of Claw, known as Scorpio, isn't working for Monolith anymore... I think it all began to fall when he left. Crying or Very sad

Aavishkar, I would strongly suggest changing your avatar.

Remember what it was like when there was actually Claw discussion about custom levels etc on the old board. Those were the days. Cool

The best was when people entered and asked questions.. Mostly the same questions but it was still great...

I think the 'how do I beat Aquatis' threads were merely a way of boosting off claw knowledge, everybody wanted to post in those threads the first xD

Uhrm anyway. Not a chance to get back in touch with this Scorpio fellow? Would be amusing if he joined this forum, if just for the heck of it.

He, Garret Price and Bryan Bouwman founded HipSoft in 2002
www.hipsoft.com

Here's an interview with him from 2004

Brian Goble made some good stuff, and not just Claw. Blood is a fun shooter (too bad it has attracted a community of dickheads), and Gruntz isn't bad either.

Should one of us try the email addresses on the Hipsoft site to see if we can get into contact with him?

I'd say it's worth a shot. Hell, perhaps we could persue HIM to judge between Teo's levels and mine xD
