A lack of activity here is pretty obvious. No reviews have been written or updates of any kind and very few submissions.
So I have decided to close the submissions. Still feel free to rate and comment on stuff but no more reviews for the forseeable future.
If you want please visit my own personal site at
Cheers to the guys over at Beyond Unreal for the free hosting.
Cheers for the support and visits and also all those that have submitted work. Sorry if you have missed out.
Also thanks to the people who have helped out by writting reviews. All very much appreciated.
Maybe one day it'll start up again (UT4? ).
All the best
Firefly

Hi Firefly!
Now it's final... One more site is left. So you did a great job here and thx for all your engagement!
Im still around but not very active atm. The UT community is getting stranger and stranger in my opinion. Too many whiners around the forums... That is very annoying and I dont feel familiar with most of them anymore.
Looking forward to Bulletstorm, the new shooter from PCF, Epic. Maybe next year there will be a new beginning! And hopefully with some fresh new thrilled people!
cya!

This is indeed sad news.
I've been checking out this site about twice every week to see if there are updates, or new reviews.
So yeah, goodbye.

noooo...please dont do it...lol
I saw ur post over at UT99.org and it led me to this post "The end for now"...and it feels so sad.
Maybe, with such a small following now, de-segregating whats left of the UT99 community is all we need...Instead of ut99.org trying to handle everything by themselves, maybe they could just put up the frontend, then link over all map building/review stuff here, and UT servers to somewhere else, etc...
Lets bring whats left of our small, but great community together in ONE common place we can all call home, basically just linking us all together
UT99.org seems like it might be a good place, at least they do have some offers for financial support there, which is promising.
What does anyone else think?

Sounds like a good idea.
I don't mind you guys linking.

Well, this is sad Firefly
Seem like no one is interested to do reviews anymore.
Not only that but all forums (Epic / BU / L4Y & GOW) are almost desert & many stuff is switching to UDK leaving not much for old UT's.
This game is sadly since months but wasn't as obvious as today.
THX you for making this site what it is. While there isn't any new reviews, UTU is still a must for any UT fan. Many THX dude, you did a great job

Oups.... I forgot the word dying in my phrase (This game is sadly DYING since months but wasn't as obvious as today.)............ sorry

Many thanks for the kind words and your site too is one any new fans must check out.
Aside from the hardcore fans the game is not that popular any more.
It is a shame I do have a map in the works which I shall try to finish.

Yeah, I've saw some pics a while ago in the BU thread & it was a good start from the pics. It look good so I hope you will finish it
I to, work on several maps & intent to finish them simply because I enjoy mapping very much & for others reasons even if the game isn't what it use to be.
I must say that my site is visited every day from Epic / BU various threads but I wish that it would be recommended by others, not just forums because the CTF page, vehicles dedicated page & the tuts are for the community, not for me & none of CTF of vehicles fan base recommended those pages, quite a shame & a big waste of my time but I still update it for now since it promote mappers works.
C'ya around dude
