Excuse my ignorance on the subject, but can anyone tell me what the hell happened to GoneGold? One day it was there and the next-ZIP! What happened? And why didn't anyone give us a heads up?

The Powers that be addressed this in the Meta Forum, but the long and the short of it seems to be
1) Rich or someone else actively killed the account with the hosting provider
2) Nobody got any heads up.
Everything else is pure speculation.

It went the way of the dinosaurs...
Actually, I guess that isn't technically true if you believe in evolution which tells us that dinosaurs are alive and well with us in the form of birds and reptiles.
You get my point, though.

In that case, Gone Gold (RIP) is alive in well, right here.
Goodbye Gone Gold

If you go over to the Console Gold forums, there are a ton of posts about Gone Gold's shutdown.
I was a long time lurker (almost 5 years) on Gone Gold, but only an occaisional poster. While I am a little upset about how the plug was pulled on Gone Gold so abruptly, I am really concerned about Rich.
Gone Gold was Rich's baby and he formed a vibrant community there. Even with all of his health problems, he always kept everyone posted on how he was doing. He always tried to keep a positive outlook on things even when dealing with multiple health issues. He always seemed to care about the site, even when he was unable to work on it.
It just really concerns me that Rich is at a place emotionally or mentally that he just couldn't deal with Gone Gold anymore and just pulled the plug without even saying goodbye.
I sincerely hope Rich gets better and those of you who are religous should say a prayer for him and those who aren't should think a kind thought about him.

Well, assuming that you favor punctuated equilibrium over natural selection that is.

Maybe his pride, the white kind, fixed it.
