Unhappy Playagain to close?

My French is pretty much non-existent, but I believe Playagain.net is closing

Well, the site is obviously down....
The question now is: Is this a new beginning or is it definitely the end...
I don't hope so.

I don't speak French either, but Game Over seems to me being the end, not the beginning

Hmm, last time I just received a 404 Page not found. So I didn't see "Game Over"....

Now it's clear... It's a great pity...

I just wasn't sure if it was game over for the site, or something else...

Yes!
It IS the end. FOREVER.

Comme vous l'avez certainement constaté, cela fait depuis un certain temps que PlayAgain est un peu laissé à l'abandon: pas de news, contenu qui n'évolue pas, etc.
C'est la conséquence du fait que plus personne n'a le temps et/ou l'envie de s'investir dans ce site, moi y compris.

Etant donné qu'il existe de bons sites de news et que les roms sont maintenant très faciles à trouver (web, p2p, newsgroups), PlayAgain n'a plus d'utilité à proprement parler. A cela vient s'ajouter le fait que le site est déficitaire depuis un long moment, ce n'est pas une nouveauté pour ceux qui nous suivent depuis le début

C'est pour ces différentes raisons le site fermera définitivement ses portes dans les prochains jours, après 5 années d'existence. - ACE
Like you guys might certainly have realized by now, Playagain has been a little bit abandoned since awhile: no news, content that is not developed any further, etc.
This is the consequence to the fact that nobody has the time and/or will to play a part in this site any longer; this implies myself as well.

Considering the two main facts that there are good news sites on the one hand, and that those roms are now very easily to obtain via web, p2p or the usenet groups on the other, PlayAgain does no longer play an important role in the rom game. Furthermore, there is one thing that must not be forgotten about: the site has been a loss-maker for a long time now, which, however, is no breaking news for those people that have been keeping faith with us since the very beginning.

Because of these very different reasons, the site will definitely close its doors within the forthcoming days, after 5 years of existence. - ACE
