W0lle 1050 Posted May 26, 2021 As of today, Armaholic is no more. 😑 https://twitter.com/Armaholic_com/status/1397545060527398915 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Αplion 1122 Posted May 26, 2021 I thought that is hacked but it seems that simply closed ... shame that all knowledge in there vanished. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BB_Frost 37 Posted May 26, 2021 I'm skeptical. Looks like a big hack. The site being immediately overtaken by a gambling site... and I was even refunded my May subscription via Paypal. The original tweet has been deleted, and the twitter account hasn't been used otherwise in like 4 years from the look of it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-RaG- 21 Posted May 26, 2021 Oh no 😞 btw Cant see the tweet says its been deleted , anyways so is there a chance it will comeback and what other good websites other than steamworkshop are there cause Armaholic is/was one of the best places to go in my opinion cause it had so many mods and old ones too also i remember they used to get ddosed quite a few times in the past Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BB_Frost 37 Posted May 26, 2021 I really don't think there's anything that compares to Armaholic as a replacement if you don't want Steam Workshop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-RaG- 21 Posted May 26, 2021 I like workshop aswell its just with armaholic there was sometimes mods that only was available there plus you got all the history it contained all the great mods for previous titles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-RaG- 21 Posted May 26, 2021 This shits just so sad cause it was the biggest non Steam Arma mod site and now its just gone poof not even a warning or reason or announcement from its owners i really hope it aint gone forever cause i found it really usefull it was my go to arma content site for when i dont find something on workshop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W0lle 1050 Posted May 26, 2021 Yes, the immediate redirection to a gambling sounds indeed is a bit weird. I know Foxhound for many, many years and this doesn't look like him. But then, his hosting contract maybe just ran out today and the gambling honks have registered the domain ahead of this. Don't know, I hope that Fox will clarify this some time. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BB_Frost 37 Posted May 26, 2021 Welp, looks like it might be real. Kind of disappointed that it was this sudden and that it's a gambling site within minutes of shutting down. Still, what was accomplished was impressive. I wish I had the resources to continue the site. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-RaG- 21 Posted May 26, 2021 Yeah the explanation in the tweet is extremely vague anyways i hope it comes back in some form somehow someday cause if its lost it will also mean hundreds of non workshop Arma 3 mods and arma 2 and arma 1 mods will potentially be GONE from the internet and all thats left is memories Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 4057 Posted May 26, 2021 I would like Foxhound himself to come and explain whats going on, i mean we all spend many years going to his site from Arma 1 to Arma3 and to just shut it down without, any feedback, explaination, or asking for help from the community, to me just kills alot of great memories and content. Foxhound has been around a long time, i'd hate to see such a guy close up shop over what, not able to keep the site going, maybe hes tired of it, or contract is up, i mean what. @foxhound Talk to us old friend, would hate to see you leave, or shut down a great site, what can we do, or is it to late? I would like to hear it from the horses mouth if you will. 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly, I highly doubt the end of AH would go down via some meager twitter post. 42 minutes ago, W0lle said: But then, his hosting contract maybe just ran out today and the gambling honks have registered the domain ahead of this. Don't know, I hope that Fox will clarify this some time. Probably, either that or some sort of major hack. NexusMods, while granted much larger in scope, is being targeted by various groups for years, couple of time successfully. Usually to gain user info. Something to keep in mind when various companies claim their security is absolutely impenetrable and your data 1 billion percent secure. 6 minutes ago, Gunter Severloh said: Talk to us old friend, would hate to see you leave, or shut down a great site, what can we do, or is it to late?

-RaG- 21 Posted May 26, 2021 hope he find new host or gets it back up again if its hacked theres too mutch history on that site to let it just get lost into the oblivion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BB_Frost 37 Posted May 26, 2021 Domain doesn't expire til September, but it was updated today to "stars" from Indonesia as the owner and changed nameservers to cloudflare. before that it was updated in March, looks like he adjusted contact privacy and that's it - was still JOOCOO at that point with rapidswitch.com nameservers.

I would like to hear it from the horses mouth if you will. I agree completely. I really hope we can have some clarity from Foxhound on this one.Armaholic going down just doesnt sit rite with me.As far as im concerned its a part of Arma3 for me as much as BIS forums are.It has a huge collection of mods and particularly scripts ,not to mention general info that i personally use DAILY to help with learning mission editing and scripting. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
