Does this mean the new series is going to end up like the sentinels too... some lame 3 episode movie that goes nowhere!
What the hell am I supposed to do now.. I have given 4 long years to this site! What a let down... but I guess I should be used to it by now!

I don't suppose there is going to be an explanation as to why its going down is there?
I'm also assuming that anything related to the Robotech.com store is going to stay intact as far as pre-orders and such? |  |

They're bailing just as we all feared would happen eventually!

I don't necessarily think they're bailing on us. If anything one would assume its a money issue and they can no longer afford to keep the Robotech.com server online.
If that is the case however you have to wonder just how badly was the Robotech stuff selling? You've also got to consider that the RT.com servers power all of Harmony Gold's websites, HG.com, RT.tv, the Robocon website, etc. Not having any official websites for any of their products is probably going to cause alot of issues for HG. I could see the Robotech stuff being covered by ADV but that would most likley be all the original series unless (and I would assume that this was the plan) they are publishing the Shadow Chronicles as well. |  |

I've been here since the start of this site and I would like to say it has been fun. Now, I have to go through the pains taking process of finding another start up page for my web browsers. However, I am hoping that this is only going to be a temporary thing, after all where are we going to get all this cool Robotech merchandise in a nice convenient place that the Robotech.com store provides. I, also find it odd that it will happen so abruptly without any more notice. However, if Robotech.com is going to go off for good then, this will be the last forum I will post in. Well, I think it is time to say goodbye and hope we can all go on without Robotech.com. |  |

Just as I'm about to start writing my story, this happens.
Will Robotech.com come back? |  |

today's the first day I notice the board going fast! >_<
Question, is there plans on getting a new host? If the site ever does come back, what's gonna happen to points? What about archived posts? I must know dangit!
And hey, does this mean I shouldn't worry about getting banned anymore? ::A wicked smile spreads across Mb's face as he ponders all the things he's been wanting to say for 3 years:: ehehehehe ::takes a deep breath in:: $%#@$% ^$@^!! ^$%@ @#%@#!! all the $@%#@%$ in the $#@%@$#!! go @#$%@#! all you $%@$# @#%@#%!  |  |

I thought early joke at first too. but it is too early. I thought the hope of a new Robotech series was too good to be true. I gues I was right.
Well...... it was fun while it lasted
