Apparently most people are not reading the announcement. It's been up for a few days now, and not even half of the hosted projects have replied to it. This thing is really important, so let me phrase it a bit differently:
IF THE PROJECT LEADER DOES NOT CONTACT ME SOON THE PROJECT WILL LOSE ALL HOSTING PRIVILEGES
Yes, you heard me. The website will be gone, the forum will be gone, and all project files will be gone. Here is a list of the project that have already contacted me, and a list of the projects still pending contact - so if you're a staff of a project that's on the pending list, tell your project leader to contact me asap:
(list updated)
Projects accounted for (already contacted):
158th
The Apocalypse Project
Freespace Port
Inferno
Lightning Marshal
MindGames
Stealth's
Terran Vasudan War
Interviews
GTD Wolf
Neo Terra Victorious
Reciprocity
Ascension of Beyond
Devil and the Deep Blue
Technological Superiority
Star Wars Mod
Attempted Suicides
Freespace Universe Reference Project
The Procyon Insurgency
The Scroll of Atankharzim
Wing Commander Saga
Pending projects (no contact yet):
Realization Project
I am not defining a deadline as of yet because I don't know if I'll be available during the weekend (most probably not) but the sooner you contact me the better. A final deadline will most certainly be set next week.
-
You said to contact you on ICQ so I promptly added you to the list and waited patiently for you to appear online :D
I guess Geezer contacted you himself :)
BTW is there any way to make the announcements more visible? I missed it completely. I tend to only click on topics that have a go to first new post arrow besides them. Announcements never seem to have these so I often miss them completely amongst all the stickied threads.

Well, I said that you should contact [b/me[/b], so... ;)

Yes, he did, and Mind Games is on the list of campaigns that replied.

Hmm. Maybe I should look into that.

I think some of the pending projects might be dead. My comments are in italics. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Probably dead. I think the pink forum killed it.
Attempted Suicides
Is this one still going
Devil and the Deep Blue
This one's alive
Freespace Universe Reference Project
Not much happening here
GTD Wolf
Grey Wolf's AWOL
Neo Terra Victorious
This project is critical. I don't think it will survive.
The Procyon Insurgency
Dunno.
Realization Project
It has recently been resurrected
Reciprocity
There's some activity in the private forum
The Scroll of Atankharzim
See above
Star Wars Mod
Still alive and kicking
Technological Superiority
It sprung to life after being poked
Third Twilight
[Bones McCoy]He's dead, Jim.[/Bones McCoy]
Wing Commander Saga
Still there.
[/b]
-
Tsk, tsk, you haven't been reading the support forum, Styxx. Third Twilight is dead.
-
I noticed that and posted it in my previous post here.
-
KARMA's on vacation... but i'll see what the SW people can do...

Yeah, I know a few of those are dead (I went through ALL project forums, public and private), but I just wanted to make sure. Oh well.
-
What is the purpose of this purge anyway?:wtf:
-
It is not a purge, but projects that do not reply will be removed.
-
I still do not understand what the point of this is.
-
err.. DatDB's alive... I shouldn't have to tell you, that's why we have Sandwich on our team officially. :p
I can vouch for LM if Stu didn't already as well. As for stuff like Tech. Sup. , Arnav has been wishy washy for years. He said he'd be back for good last time, but he left again. Likewise, it'd be kinda cheap to pull everything out from under him like that, even if he is awol scum. At least lock the forum and hide it for 6 months and back up his stuff.
Err.. as for AoB, Virtu hardly comes here anymore, but he gets little 'spurts' where he likes to try to work with it. If you're looking to talk to him, the go to Nodewar IRC sometime during the day.
Didn't you guys just create AS? I know NTV, Reci, and Scroll are all going, just their Leadership is scattered a bit thin. (BlackWolf is busy with TI, although I could remind him about this. Aldo is doing the school thing IIRC along with GE and Sesq.)
And.. Styxx? What's the deal? Didn't we just go through this like 3 months ago?
-
Should have mentioned this in the PM - KARMAs on holidays for the moment, off gallivanting around Spain or some such. Any way GE or myself could report infor the SW Mod?

I'm not asking for status updates, I'm asking for project leaders to contact me through ICQ or PMs. If you're official project leader for DatDB, do that.
-
Project list updated on first post.
-
Reciprocity is still alive... However Aldo himself is pretty busy and doesn't do much posting.
-
This is true. Might we make a bid for our existance on his behalf, Styxx?
-
Ok, if the project leader is not available, one project member can answer for him. Decide who it is and contact me through ICQ or PMs.
-

hence why it says for project leaders to contact him, not peons.
-
You a ****ing parrot now?
-
FSURP should be kept. It's got some good info for campaign designers.

ooh, didn't see Styxx's reply.
not my fault you can't read a simple direction
IF THE PROJECT LEADER DOES NOT CONTACT ME SOON THE PROJECT WILL LOSE ALL HOSTING PRIVILEGES
-
Yet, being an annoying prick is under one's control...
-
uhhh ok. enough. it's hard to reason with people like you.
-
I posted the news in the Attempted Suicides, Ascension of Beyond, and SW Mod forums and sent Su-Tehp and Rampage PMs. Hopefully they'll read them.
-
Cool, thanks.
And KT and Stealth, stop it.
-
rgr
-
I'm here. So is TS. I've PMed you Styxx, please keep the IVs and respirator going.
I NEED VOLUNTEERS! If you want to call me "AWOL scum", at least send me files I asked for and volunteer to do stuff!
-
List updated. Seven projects to go.
-
When was the last time anyone has seen CP? I dont think Procyon is gonna live much longer...
-
He doesn't have any staff, right?
Anyway, SW Mod just replied. Six remaining.
-
Well technically Zeronet or PhReAk are part of CP's tester staff IIRC.
-
Sorry, I didn't see the announcement earlier. I haven't been posting much around here recently (although I do lurk every now and then :D) but have still been working on the PI campaign in the dark, so to speak. Actually, my work on it has intensified quite a bit in the last month since I use all the time I used to spend here in FRED2 instead. :D
Do I just post here or something to "clear" the project?
-
PM or ICQ him.
-
okay, done.
I think the reason that most people do not read the announcements is that they are frequently pretty old, so they think it is just the same announcement from last month and skim over to the new post listing; this is what happens to me at least. It would be nice if any new announcements popped upon loading the main forum page and determined whether or not the user had seen the announcement from a cookie setting or something, similar to the PM notification system.
-
Or you could just finish PI after it being a year (more or less) overdue and not have to worry about it. ;) :p
-
Actually I guess you could say that it is more or less finished up to what I had planned at that point. If anyone remembers that point when I upped the mission count a bit just before last christmas, it (along with a lack of free time since then) is sort of what has caused this delay. The first 12 missions are done, but with the newer plan they alone would seem incomplete now. :D
By the way, there seem to be a large number of weird threads here since I last came, which was just yesterday; everyone seems to have started spamming and flaming all of a sudden. :wtf: :D
-
Do you want help mission building or something? I'd probably do it, if not just to do something with that painfully empty forum of yours :p
And in short, it's Styxx's fault. Well, mostly Razor's, but they would never have happened without Styxx's regime change. ;) :p
Oh yeah, we got a new Female member. She's Tiara's roomie. (although in the back of my head I have this inkling it's an0n...) So that's kinda exciting... :nervous:
-
Has Rampage talked to you about Attempted Suicides?

Why is it a habit of the projects are dying, or they are close to begin dying?
I am glad that BW has reported SW-C.

Actually TopAce it was me who got hold of Styxx.....

Ok, I cannot know it who that was. Black Wolf posted here, so I thought he was that.
-
Okay Styxx. The PM has been dispatched. You should be getting it in your inbox.
-
I'll be checking the ones I got during the weekend in a few mins.
-
Updated the list. Just three projects to go, and the WC Saga already contacted, but I'm pending a reply.
-
Ok, only the Realization project is pending. People were telling me it was back alive, so I'm waiting for contact. If no one contacts me soon, it'll be considered a goner (specially since it was already dead before).
-
Riven took a leave of abscense / went awol, but he's back now apparently. Not that I haven't heard more than that.
