So that was another Wario fansite that closed down...

From this guide on GameFAQs:

Make sure to check out my new website at www.wariocompany.com dedicated to Wario Ware, Inc. and all of Wario's great achievements. Also (eventually) available is an html version of this FAQ for easy viewing!

There's an archived copy here:

Which I took some pictures of:

Seems like it could have a nice site, had it be continued for longer. Unfortunately, it stopped updating around October 2003, then vanished for good in summer 2007.

So yeah, anyone else a bit depressed that all these Wario fan sites vanished without a trace?

I had seen that site before.

 

[CM30]

I think I had too. But yeah, it failed like the rest of them.

We've got a pretty bad record in this fanbase, haven't we?

 

[Dumribble]

Sadly being a Wario fan means being disappointed because of having very few companions or material...

What a sad fate for one of Nintendo's greatest characters. We need a comeback!

Just another reason to avert it this time, eh?

Beside, if that's any reassurement, your beloved DK Vine was probably built on the back of thousand of shitty geocities page : p

 

[CM30]

It's definitely made me want to keep this site going for the next decade or so. To not have at least one successful forum/site for this series is kind of pathetic.

And true I guess. Many, many other Donkey Kong sites probably got set up and failed before DK Vine. And during/after it was set up as well...

Just freaking beautiful. Losing wonderful sites is great in the not-at-all kind of way.
