The Shutdown of TheFlyingKnee.Com

It is with mixed feelings that I announce the shutdown of TheFlyingKnee.Com. The shutdown will take place on October 15, 2012. I would like to thank the loyal subscribers who have helped keep the game going, for bringing ideas to the table, and for notifying me off issues as they occur.

I first developed TheFlyingKnee.Com as a text-based MMA simulation game over 10 years ago, during my spare time (before and after work, as well as during lunch breaks). The game was developed out of my interest in MMA, and my desire to keep my programming skills up to date. I then decided to take it a step further and add graphics/animation, making TheFlyingKnee.Com the first animated online MMA game. Whether text or animated, my goal for the game was to achieve as much realism as feasibly possible for a one-man operation. Everything including fighter attributes, fighter training, fighter conditioning, fight sequences, and judging was thoroughly researched and implemented accordingly.

A lot has changed in my life since I first started the project, and over the past two years, I simply did not have the time to maintain and enhance the game at a pace I have in the past.

Again, I would like to thank the loyal subscribers/supporters of TheFlyingKnee.Com.

Website Problems

We apologize for the recent website connectivity issues. This has caused our site to go down from time to time, as well as the fight engine to go down from time to time. This is a direct result of our crappy webhost vendor (webhost4life.com), which we will NEVER deal with again. Not only have they been unable to meet their uptime guarantee, but their quality of service is severely lacking, and their tech support staff is unable to resolve issues. We will be switching to a new host in the coming week, which will likely resolve these issues.

Thank you for your patience!
