RIP XGN

Just a quick note to say, "RIP XGN". Xtreme Gamers Network or xgn.com.au (there are a few imitators but none are the same ... ) web site was hacked last week and at the moment is temporarily unavailable until further notice. The website has been running for a number of years now and was home to the Xtreme Teams. A prominent Australian Delta Force/Black Hawk Down/Joint Operations team. The site was created and hosted by Diggazz in conjunction with Gaming SA and Adam Internet.

Xtreme (~X~ or -X-) was the first online team that myself and my brother played in. At the time we were heavily involved in playing the Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising. Joint Operations was the alternative to Battlefield type games which provided a much larger playing area and larger hosted servers. Joint Operations was more popular overseas with matches being established between nations in the international community. There was a strong Australian community for the game with organized tournies.

For many years xgn.com.au was home. Over the last couple of years it has become home to many in the Australian Online Racing community.

Just a personal hello to all the guys in XGN who were part of one of the best Joint Operations Squads in Australia: Diggazz, DJ, Hootz, Rigi, Nos, Rone, Ayerton, Ure, Brit, Dark Knight (woops ... my bad), Clay, Ironspear, Havoc, Jo Blow and to all of the names I have forgotten.

Xtreme Teams will be continuing the Xtreme heritage. You can check out their website here. Many of the guys are still there so pop in and say hello.
