Officially dead

http://www.netcaptor.com/

Dear NetCaptor Friends,

I haven't talked publicly about NetCaptor in several years, but I wanted to let you know that the project is officially dead. What a ride its been. ...

Could anyone update article? Best regards, --Adamhauner (talk) 07:53, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So, does this officially make it Abandonware? The author provided a key for anyone to use if they want - I really appreciate the gesture. As a paid user of Netcaptor since the early years, I found that it helped me 'tame' IE quite a bit (When I had to use IE, NetCaptor really helped make it a tolerable experience.)

Well, Wikipedia's definition of abandonware is software "that is no longer claimed, owned, or copyrighted". I don't think Adam Stiles gave up his copyrights or released NetCaptor into the public domain or anything; he just stopped developing it and made it de facto freeware by releasing a key. But then again, a more common definition of abandonware on the Internet is simply software that ceases to be maintained after an amount of time, and NetCaptor definitely fits that definition, so...

But yeah, NetCaptor was a great browser for its time. It spawned a whole generation of clones, from Maxthon to Neoplanet to maybe even Firefox. The web was certainly a better experience thanks to that one little program =) -Clueless (talk) 17:54, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Site officially announced dead four years ago, key non-functional for nearly that long, site now gone, download link no longer operational, both self-referential (not third party) references no longer in existence. It's time for a rewrite. 71.200.89.119 (talk) 11:33, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
