Title: New Freespace website. Newbies come on!
Post by: Solatar on October 05, 2002, 06:07:12 pm: Well, I've been messing around a little, and I finally put up a site of my own. So far I've got a Freespace and Freespace MODing forum that I expect no one will use. I also have forums for Mechwarrior ( Coming soon ), and the Command and Conquer Games. Descent coming soon.

One of the main reasons I did this was so I could have a forum for the Terran - Vasudan war project.

I have decided that apart from being the home of the Terran Vasudan war project ( Not replacng the site, its just a forum until we get our here ) that this sight will be a place for newbies to seek refuge. A place where they can ask stupid questions over and over again. Anybody want to show a little support?

Well, it ain't great, but it is ezboard. I do need some moderatorsfor the Mechwarrior and Command and Conquer forums.
Any takers?

Also, you'll notice headers from fs2.com. I thought these looked nice, so I put them up. They are actually links to freespace2.com. If anybody ( like daveb ) has a problem with this, tell me, and they will be removed ASAP.

Also, my emoticons got wiped. They will be up later.

Post by: Solatar on October 05, 2002, 08:14:52 pm: yeah, I thought so. A website that caters to newbies. Once they learn, the basics ( Like how to make the ships fire their beams ), then they go here. I'm usually in a good mood, so I won't mind telling people how to free the beams over and over. I actaully have a site to go with it. I'll add a link to HLP.

Heard that one before. Usually when somebody in our gaff has eaten something they found lurking in the fridge and subsequently developed accute food poisoning...
