Title: F2S Re-Opens - Finally !
Post by: Hunter on March 16, 2003, 01:19:01 pm: Freespace 2 Sector, the grey-haired website from the past - Has now re-opened it's doors after a six month absence ! Come along, look around, and whatnot, while I work to restore the site ! Click HERE! (http://www.sectorgame.com/f2s), or HERE (http://freespace.sectorgame.com). :)

Our MOD database is back-online, with 350+ files to boot - And I'm hoping everyone will lend us a hand by sending in your latest works, and such so it can grow ! I've been able to restore around 90% of the files that were previously on Freespace 2 Sector, aswell as some new additions. But I am going to nee help, with more content - And writers - And ofcourse, a news-reporter with an active hand in the community, to grab some news to post ! :)

Stop by the forum (which needs filling!) and show your hand in support, or to simply fire some rockets at our aged website ! Now I'm going to chill a bit, and see what I can work on next in the restoration process - Including the Ship Database, and Random Articles. Post your comments, bugs, and anything in this thread. Ciao ! :nod:

Regards,
Hunter

Post by: Hunter on March 16, 2003, 01:33:34 pm: Hey Kasper, no need to worry about that - Keep running your site ! It's always good to have alternative sources, and anyhow, maybe you can merge the database - Who knows !

Also folks, the entire site was re-built from scratch in just 14 days, so you can imagine how rushed I've been. ;)

In the mod database it has those little pics in front of most of the mods saying NO PIC. I first though that they said:

Post by: Hunter on March 18, 2003, 01:57:00 pm: Yeah, something weird has happened (I already fixed one problem with the PHP). Now there seems a server slow-down, don't understand why. I guess this prob disappear soon.

I am really beginning to hate my life.

Post by: Hunter on March 18, 2003, 02:07:23 pm: Ok, it seems there is a larger problem, almost every site I try to access in the UK is going real slow... everything. Im guessing something bigs going down international .. but whatever the prob it doesnt seem local...

That's great ! :yes:
Really.
So the hard question remains: How would we confront a threat ...

Ahh sorry ...

.. What is keeping people from getting bored with Freespace ... for so long ...

That's interesting. :)

Don't worry ! Did not go nuts. Just philosophic. :D
