I'm not going to drool into a deep and sympothetic thread, because that would be hypocritical of me.. I don't care for people who beat around the bush.
Anyways..
EVE-DB, www.eve-db.com - Well known Statistical database for EVE Online will be closing down. I myself am leaving EVE, and Synex is just tight with time - not enough to get all these features that I've been asked for, begged for, and some - payed for. To those of you who are programmers, and think "Well I can help!" or for those of you who did email me, don't worry - I saw the email, and I'm forwarding them directly to Dancer.
Thats right - I've already turned over our files to EVE-I (www.eve-i.com). The second version of EVE-DB almost made it out.. but time came to a pinch.
EVE-DB started out as a manually updated IRC Bot that ran off of my computer in Beta 5. It now gets about 30k hits a day. I thank you all for your support, and thank you that one person who sent in a donation as a thank you present - didn't need to do that :)
For those of you who are just pawing to get at our files, well, sorry. I've been waiting a good 3-4 weeks now on a reply from Hellmar about publicaly publishing our extraction methods, for both the items and galactic information.
I'm sure EVE-I, its current staff, and any new ones to be added for this job will handle it greatly.
I will continue to update EVE-DB until EVE-I get something up and running; even if they fail to have something up past my account cancle-ation date.
Don't get me wrong, I love EVE.. but I just don't have the time for the game, much less a major fan site.
I will be compiling a couple of zip-packages of different images, such as all the ships that are INGAME and other things like complete icon sets, etc.
If you have any requests as to background colors in regards to icons that I use (other then black or white) let me know, and I'll get around to it.
Other things like ships not ingame yet, such as rogue drones, dungeons, etc.. well.. those will have to stay with me I guess.
CCP has tons in store for you guys ;) so sit tight.
EVE-DB says goodbye, and thank you.
P.S. - If anyone has a spare ftp they would like to submit as a mirror for these packages, email me @ [email protected] .

The site will be missed and you will be missed as well. Good luck on future endeavors.

Sad to see eve-db close, sad to see you leave.
But I hope and believe that EVE-I will handle it good.

I'm a bit sad to see it fold as I like more independent sources of information, but thanks for the handover to Eve-I.
Thanks for keeping up running.

Damn shame to see a good site fold...and even worse to see a player leave.....but I guess this shows how addicting EVE is....
Good luck in RL and hope to see you back soon.....

It is sad to see such a veteran such as yourself leave our Universe. Anytime you wish to return, the bunnies of Playboy Enterprises will throw you a complementary sexy party entitled "Ganja's PlayTimeÖ".
I also will, like to send out regards to Synex, my CEO from beta "Synergy Systems". I hope you are not leaving us matey... it just won't be the same without you! The bunnies always have and always will have a place in their...hearts for you.
Regards,
Want to work for me? |

Sad to see Eve-db go. I used it a lot, it's one of the best fansites out there.
Thanks for the great service, Ganja (even though you've been a naughty boy).

Sad to see you go, Ganja. But as always. real life comes first, no matter what.
I think it will be a good move to transfer the databse to eve-i, since they seem really to be up for it.
Have fun, and maybe in some distant future you will return...
I mean, you at least know what tech 5 might bring, so come back in time *g*
