WiredForWar
So… what is WiredForWar.org?
Well, WiredForWar.org is a fan-site I created (kind of) for an RTS game by Acclaim Entertainment called Machines. Machines, in my opinion, is an incredible real time strategy game, among the best out there (Starcraft, Warcraft). I didn’t quite “create” the site, but took ownership of it from a person named “Spazz”. It was originally known as just the “Machines Forum”, of which I was one of the first members. It was hosted on a free site under some obscure domain. I asked the owner at the time, Spazz, to transfer it to my server to avoid advertisements. Afterwards, I purchased the domain WiredForWar.org, bumped up the home page a bit, and transferred any existing posts to a new, better forum software. I also started a disc download campaign, allowing members to download the full version of Machines as long as they met the requirements I set forth.
The site consists of a forum with over 350 members, and also a project on developing a second version of the game.
Hey Man,
I’ve tired to contact one of the other members on contributing to the new version of Machines, yet he said that he hasn’t been part of the project for some time now. I’ll totally meet your requirements for posting, and I’m wondering if you still have the full version of Machines to give out to members.
I’m an Old head at 31 but I rememeber and really had fun playing that game. I’d be honored to capture screens and movie to post in your “taken over” forum – let me know what you need of me and I’ll do it – whatever it takes to get back into a great game.
Thanks for your time.

You can usually get some info on development by posting in the Dev section of the forums. I still have the full version, just PM me when you’ve met the requirements. Thanks!

Sloik, quick question, what happened to your website, I don’t think wiredforwr.org exists anymore! When you go there it takes you to some web hosting service and doesn’t have a word of ehat happened. Sloik, I loved your website, plz put it back on.

Hello i currently play machines. but upon trying to register an account with the wired for war forum, i get a glitch in the “verify the letters above” for there is no letters above. at first i thought it might be on my end but upon trouble shooting it i went to the “simplemachinesforum” site (the forum your site uses) i can fully register there and i still half enter the “verify the letters above” but there is letters above it so i can enter them. I doubt you’ll get this but i fig machines is a great game and well worth a long shot to register and improve it. thanks for any help you can provide.
