I have never been there. :P Yeah I agree. EFNet #mauritius chat was great. :) Shah: There were thousands of accounts/members on that website.I think it will be kind of troublesome for him to do that just for me. :( Anyway, I'll get over it sooner or later. Thanks! Enjoy your week too. Eddy: I think Sports Cafe was right before my ‘time’. I have never been there. :P Yeah I agree. EFNet #mauritius chat was great. :)

I hereby pledge my allegiance to Peter Petrelli in order to fight the evil authorities who spread rumours and whose intent are to destroy mutant communities. (What?! Sino Mauritians have special powers. You just don't know it! Now, go spread the rumour around. Thanks.) LOL "Now I feel like I’ve lost that record of those years." The 'webmaster' still have backups. Maybe you should ask him for your textual content to be e-mailed to you. It's worth a shot. And I bet he'll do it. (Don't ask for more than textual content 'coz textual content is easier to retrieve.) Enjoy the week ahead, hair girl :) *smile* Holy Cupcake!

That was Sports Cafe era. The era of going out with teens (when I was 25 yo), watching them get drunk on sambucas, throwing up, and passing out on the grounds outside the club. Never got into MI, though. Eddy. EFNet #mauritius chat was great. That was Sports Cafe era.

The members were mostly the Sino-Mauritians (in Mauritius or overseas)who were chatting on #Mauritius in the EFnet server(mIRC). There were a few non-Chinese who became members when they learned about Mauritius Interactive through their Sino-Mauritian friends. At that time, the non- Sino-Mauritians were chatting on the Dalnet server. That's why they don't know about it. :) Yes. It was. There were quite many features and the webmaster put a lot of hard work into it. I guess that this blog entry and that page I created about it are kind of like my tribute to the Mauritius Interactive community. About your questions: I doubt that the webmaster would ever relaunch the website but maybe someone else might want to create something similar. However, a lot of webspace and bandwidth is needed to host so many blogs and photos. That might also be one of the reasons why the site was brought to an end. The members had stopped updating (esp after the facebook craze hit Mauritius) but their blogs and files that they have uploaded were still there, taking up a lot of resources. Privacy concerns seem to be one of the reasons. Many people didn't feel comfortable about having people with fake accounts spying on them and leaving nasty comments on their blogs. The Sino-Mauritian community of Mauritius is small compared to the other communities and well, rumors spread like wild fire. :) Yashvin, yeah it is one of the reasons why you’ve never heard of it.

Through this blog article and on you page dedicated to MI, it seem(ed) that MI was indeed a very good platform, with lots of features. As you mentioned yourself, the nicer part of it is the fact that it kept updating with new features, hence, constantly innovating over time. i would define MI as a sort of social networking site and it also has features of the MU version of Wordpress, isnt it so? Anyway, its sad to say bye to good things. I have 2 questions : Cant MI be relaunched if someone took the initiative? Perhaps we could ask the reason why the site was brought to an end. Privacy concerns? Mauritius Interactive, I wonder why I never heard of it before.
