First of all, I want to thank Worfeh for hosting The Starport for so long, even through the tough DDOS times. He did a great job and I think we should all applaud him, without him Starport would not be here now.

That being said, Worfeh no longer wants to host The Starport due to understandable reasons. In the near future, I will host the site, so expect a downtime very soon (as in a few days).

There will also be some changes, mainly related to the Forge:
The current forge software will be replaced with a new one, named Redmine - http://www.redmine.org
I hope you are not mad at me for losing your projects.
Redmine has some substantial advantages, its simply more modern and also open source (GForge was closed source).
There were also serious problems in porting the Forge over to a new server, which contributed to this change (we would have lost data anyway, so to say).

Also, we will allow SVN for FL tools _and_ mods! You heard that right, also for mods. After experiencing team-development in an SVN environment within the Freeworlds team, I dont want any of you to miss out.


So, stay tuned and dont be frightened by a soon-to-come downtime.

~ The-Starport Administration

Nice that the T SP don't give up. Was there a new attack by the way?

This also means that if you have anything on the Forge that you'd like to keep, back it up NOW!

I have to echo the thanks to Worfeh for hosting it for so long. He put up with alot, and spent a MASSIVE amount of his time combating attacks in the past. Thanks bud, we all hugely appreciate the time and effort you put in.

Glad to hear there is a new host, so thanks w0dk4.

Hey thanks Worhef for everything and thanks Wodka for taking over the hosting.

(I'm also glad this notice was bumped because I really do want to backup a couple of things)

I noticed it was down, but I guessed it would be this.

Good job.
