Well, unless it's some kind of bad April Fool's joke, it seems that http://www.gp32world.co.uk is no more.
If you go to the website it simply says
It must have happened some time over the long Good Friday weekend, because it was still around before I left for a holiday 3 days ago.
Anyway, the one bright spot about this is that because GP32World had already proven itself to be notoriously easy to hack (see this forum thread), I backed up all of the reviews to my harddrive in case anything like this happened.
The question now is, what should I do with them? There are a whole lot of reviews on all kinds of things, including commercial games, homebrew games, game interpreters like Scumm, OSs, and retro reviews (games that can be played with an emulator on the GP32).
Don's Homebrew Review Site is only for homebrew games, and there doesn't seem to be any other gp32 review site that's decently organized into categories. If somebody on the staff of GP32x would be willing to remake their miniscule review page (which currently consists of 4 reviews) into something bigger, with different categories, that allows images to be posted within reviews, I'd only be too happy to hand everything over to them (or if they trust me enough to give me admin powers I could do it myself
).
The overclocked emulator files will also need a new home, although I only have some of the files (you can't get them on GP32x.de )
On the other hand, the huge (and only) gp32 links database, which at last count had 97 gp32-related links, is irretrievably gone.
Unless somebody knows how I could find a "history" page of gp32world; I think you can search for something like that on Google (they have some kind of archive; that's how I retrieved the deleted material the last time this happened). Does anybody know if this is now possible?
