City17.ru left without a master (Half-Life 2)
MDE, I of course, slopeside even then:http://half-life.ru/forum/showthread.php?s=f438b09821ec7896ba94816eae6db682&threadid=14314
Back in January John Andreev, which is about 8-9 years (since 2001) held the website http://city17.ru/ - one of the most famous sites about mod HL, HL2 and Portal, stated that it will no longer write reviews. He sold the site some old individuals who, according to I. A. promise to develop it, but instead began to fill the site pornoralle, and generally on CL have no idea - I think the new reviews we'll see, and the normal development of the website will not receive.
Of course, there are planetphillip.com there mods-inside.ru that on the count of mods are far superior to C17 (not sure about the last one, but PP is the largest collection of mods HL in General throughout the network), but the whole point was that still, C17.ru - it was the site of our the man who wrote reviews from the heart, without turning the fashion rating in numerals, without describing fashion dry, clear and multiletter, but at the same time, adequately giving estimates and priorities.
Very sorry that I. A. did it, not even checking reliability of people, which entrusts the fruit of almost a decade of work.

This is a copy of the post below that contains important info and a backup site:
I have bad news for you...
No, the site is still standing... sitting... no, well, not lies exactly. In short, it works. But, when you try to go in there, my antivirus (Microsoft Security Essentialis) rebelled against some JavaScript, exploiting some vulnerability. And this alarm is repeated on each page of the website. This is very suspicious, given the questionable policy of the site owners, I'm sure at 95% that the operation is not false. Moreover, C17.ru is not like a site that uses something more complicated that HTML+CSS.
Therefore, I strongly suggest you go to this website. At least without antivirals and enabled in the browser JavaScript.
I have a full backup of the site a year ago, made using WinHTTrack, and I've filled it to the hosting Yandex (you can see that the Binoculars did the mirror C17 to people, but now the link doesn't work), in the form of the archive: download (RAR, 212 Mbyte). [upd: flooded even for a mega.] I checked it for viruses, just in case, check showed no threats, and I really don't see there any JavaScript (although it can be right in .html... Oh well, you can verify its antiviral, if you do not trust).
Checksum of the archive (7-zip the file menu --> checksum):

Yes, the engine you write yourself. These achieve not finish, can not sensible to come up with=). Not the first person to whom he is like. What is it like? (if you mail, not to write off topic)
About сити17, it was one sentence somewhere about a month ago, but somehow decayed. People who can offer in bulk, but in reality ... And so would make a section on the website with no problems, but the people no one else wanted.

First, if someone here will take a look, and I was surprised. Write about what you want, you just this puny forum will revive. With achievements I would have helped, but city 17, we will not return... Because the author wrote from himself, as he saw it, and did not evaluate dry points. Of course, not all was fair, for example, Minerva 2 appears in the section nerecomandat modifications. But you could find another person, or to write from the entire community, for example, us. But first, if there is a desire to revive the site, it is necessary to have a precise and detailed plan of action, and then contact John. And if does not help - try to contact the current owners of the site. And finally, contact the support team of the hosting. In the extreme case you can always negotiate.
We would very much like to see the site source-inside.ru revived/redeemed. I would love to be wrote there articles...
[hl-lab]Serge
Looked at your website, the second from fan sites, which I like! Registered there, glad that the site is on its own engine, and not ragged ukoze.
[hl-lab]Serge
Anyway, if you add a section for single cards and mods, the forum and the articles section, I can help you with website development...
We have a problem on seriously than the website :
News say that Valve are not going to rush into CL :( - again, 6 years to wait :(

Don't like the finished engines (already they are very primitive). And I don't want to be that person (of practice), which says that"the site is made browser or I know how hard it is to make websites in this one, and the second person sits on yukoze.

Section mods and maps is only in conjunction with man - nothing else!
The articles section is already there - just no time to povykladyvat (about 300 different languages-only coding).
If nobody comes here, I could read people to create threads with the issue on other websites?
About сити17 - you should at least save what it is - and then suddenly up and closed. And all will be lost!
Who wants to help? Or who wants to help the site?
Yes, I was very sick from ucoz's. I have nothing against their system, but implementation is painfully lame... which is not Many, many restrictions. There are, of course, and useful things - for example, rapid replacement of the sections of the template. I am a PHP master, but it does not at once :) In General, to develop the site further, be sure to make a forum and opportunity to comment/rate. As will the time, the scratching of a couple of articles/reviews.

I agree, mowing primitive, but look what you can do with it, with due diligence:
http://www.hl-info.ru/
Not directly recognize Yukos.

For firefox there's an extension, allows zabekapit the entire site, only it is not compatible with my version :(
Combine 999
You can put multiple versions =) Throw if not difficult.
hl-info - yukoz still visible. Anyway, any of it can be learned easily. If the author didn't do it, then at least be pleased with the content :( And it so happens clone.
you should at least keep what they have
There prog - Teleport Pro is sites download. I already acapel Сити17, but a backup of the sow(
Yes please, can I get the backup to gash and fill in for another host to make the mirror. Only here it is necessary to you?..
The only - in case of a fall сити17 - can be zaregat new domain and website will be like our...
[hl-lab]Serge
Throw the Supplement, if not difficult.
I don't remember his name, it's in here somewhere.
Binocl pour, maybe the new owners will kill the website? It is better to have a backup.
The reviews themselves are references to the leap of modifications/maps.
PS: Really, very sorry that closed one of the good sites.
The website has already shipped, should I do a backup source-inside.ru or the website should not disappear? Apparently, he is now also on parole...
Binocl
should I do a backup source-inside.ru
Better do, by the way, what about him?
