Tally Ho closing down

[VonBeerhofen]

The dowload site where it all started and created by Mike 'Sandbagger' Norris will disappear forever January 2026.

It is suggested that if there's still something of interest you need from there better hurry up and start downloading!

All the best Mike!

To all those CA malcontents. Appreciate the fact that CA owner decided for small subscription fee. Maybe this will help save whole download database alive little longer…

Posted at SimHQ letting Mike know I sent him a PM here. We'd be happy to host him at no cost if it saves the work. We'll see how it goes.

Sounds great Erik. I hope the site and EAW history can be saved. Fingers crossed.

I think there are way over 1000 pages in Tally-Ho. I never did save them for long. I may have still a 2014-15 backup of the html pages, not sure though if I kept them. Been a long time since I've been in my backups.

But I also have a .xml page with a sort  of "sitemap" of it more recently. Not sure if its any use, I was given to me, someone else made it, I don't know how to view it, however.

 

Anyhow, Hope Mike / Erik can get the files and the html pages transferred without trouble. If that's what will happen?
I wouldn't even know how to start to integrate the html pages into CA downloads???

 

Good luck guys.

Going to be sad seeing another long time specialty site disappear.

Genuinely the passing of an era. I spent so many nights in high school and college coming through the amazing add-ons for EAW and I remember amassing a sizable collection of aircraft skins for, I think it was EAWStab? Those were fun days. Thanks to Mike and the entire community for making games like EAW truly special. Here's hoping it can migrate some if its content over to Combat Ace - thanks for reaching out Erik.
