[QUESTION] Is colonize.com part of OurColony?

colonize.com

[coffeefilms]

but isn't it odd that the company doesn't have an address?

[syzygy]

I thought it was odd too, but I did looked through various other web sites and that company is mentioned on a lot of other web sites. Maybe they are running the game . . .

[coffeefilms]

Tried emailing these people but just keep getting "undeliverable" messages back?

What's interesting about it is the last update (almost a year ago). didn't someone mention the site has been up only a couple weeks?

[harrisonh1]

That date doesn't have to be accurate though, they could just put 2004 on it.

[HitsHerMark]

Looks like a spam generating company to me.

[DJJoeJoe]

Mabye they know many people playing their games find their site and if they devuldged any contact info they'd be bombarded by them. Seems reasonable to me though.
