Yeah that's what I was talking about. They fired her, and openly told everyone they fired her but that they were still investigating. Now the investigation turns out that Amy didn't do anything. That's why I said it was unprofessional. We'll see how it works out.

And now Grace has deleted her own announcement clearing Amy's name. Perhaps my tinfoil hat is on too tight, but between this, almost banning me for discussing Disney's copyright, and her deleting of countless threads she simply doesn't like, I'm under the impression that Grace is a textbook control freak who set up Amy.

No I agree, this is starting to look like a real mess. Definitely, and obviously, the best attempt at recreating VMK but it looks like it's falling down. Especially that they tried to ban you for discussing Disney's copyright. Clearly they have no way that they could stay active once Disney eventually shuts them down. So basically they're just trying to hide it from their members for as long as possible that they could be shut down at any second.

Ok, as of right now I have checked and both websites Open VMK and Open VMK forums are shut down cold. It is odd to have both of them down at the same time. In light of many of the events of this week I am only thinking the worse. This is all looking like all the other failed VMK projects in the last 5 years that fell. If these people do not have one mind and work together in peace this will never be a reality. The fact that someone was fired based on suspected 'malicious files' and then an investigation gets underway sounds somewhat dishonest for people running an online game like Open VMK. I hope they get their act together or this dream will become a nightmare.

It was fantastic to see the few hours worth of glimpses we managed to get into VMK the week it lasted. It was so glitchy and down so much that it was never a whole lot of time though. I never went into it thinking it was going to be a permanent thing. Too many legal reasons it could never last. Even if Amy gets it up and running, Disney is within all rights to pull it.
Maybe if we get the attention of Disney they will see how devoted the fans of VMK really are and have been all these years. Maybe they will see that they still have a market for it if they brought it back.
I like that thought. I am going to go with that now.

Nick has confirmed that Open VMK is definitely dead. An incredibly sad day for such an ambitious project that was the first to actually succeed, if only for mere days. Frustrating...

At least we have Amy. She has the source code and the donation money from Open VMK, so I have faith in MMK.

As announced in-game and on the main site, Open VMK has closed it's gates for the last time.

They also said the same thing VMK said when it closed "As mickey says, see you real soon!" but the funny thing is I'm pretty sure we wont being seeing Nick or Grace on MMK.

I was there and I saw it too. Oh well, I hope the next re-make is on longer than a week or more. Much luck to Amy and MMK.

In which O-VMK is now C-VMK. Can't say I'm surprised, seeing as to how many times I logged on to it being down for 'Maintenance.' I got to play it for short periods of time over the course of two days; it was nice while it lasted.

Apparently MMK (or MVMK) is opening. Amy is in charge. Hope it lasts.

Mvmk is about now, and the server has been open for a while already during testing. My name is Astro in-game by the way.
