What ever happened to Club Tropica?

[AgnesIO]

If it actually became a virtual world, like was once planned, it would have been absolutely fantastic. I think they were far too ambitious, and announced things that simply were not happening.

To be honest by the looks of the Google Searches I did - I don't think it had that much success or any at all. Although I did find a thread on WebHostingTalk about job offers for it with one of the directors being called:

James ***
IT Director
ClubTropica UK Ltd

I then decided to search the company on CompanyHouse to see if it brings up anything which brought up:

Name & Registered Office:
CLUBTROPICA UK LTD
UNIT 10 ELM HOUSE WILLOWBANK
CLAYGATE LANE
THAMES DITTON
SURREY
KT7 0LE
Company No. 06452202

This James *** person has this on his LinkedIn about ClubTropica:

Lead Developer
ClubTropica UK Ltd

November 2007 – February 2009 (1 year 4 months)

ClubTropica envisions becoming the next habbo crossed with Facebook aimed at older teenagers. I was project managing the development of the Shockwave Client element, the backend server development, and the front end website development. I was also highly involved in the custom PHP CMS development. The website is based off PHP and MySQL engines using a CMS platform I created from scratch, and currently has 15,000 members. I also developed a multi-threaded socket server for the shockwave client using PHPCLI using OO PHP, which was exciting for me as it was a first for me to use PHP to develop something that Java would usually take the place of.

The LinkedIn description is rather amusing, baring in mind that everything he apparently did has come to... nothing.

Interesting to see the company was dissolved 3 years ago, as well.

Ione was long gone before any of this. You might be thinking of Becs who did Moshi Monsters.
