Game zone closing

[DrRedskwirrell]

From June 19th, the Game Zone will no longer support any cd games. The chat lobbies will disappear and games will be arranged through M$N Messenger.
Needless to say, this will end the postponed death sentence of CFS1 as well.

so where are we going to meet?

There are other threads about that.
Some have gone to Gamespy and Hyperlobby, though I find there's too much spyware on Gamespy and there's almost no community on Hyperlobby.
Some squads have set up their own servers.

maybe this would be a good time to post some of these servers before the time is up to hook up for a game...

I don't have any more than have been posted already, and then only to help the folks who wanted to carry on with it.
The few I have visited all seem to be of the 'pay-to-play' variety which tends to adversely affect my Scottish gene.
Personally 50% of the reason I stuck with CFS1 was for the fun CFS1 community in the Zone and, because of that, I don't intend continuing somewhere else when the Zone boots it.
I accept that there is a new community starting to spring up but I can't see it developing into anything worthwhile anywhere else now.
