so why isn't it on sourceforge.net?  it's free and organizing files would be a lot easier.

:welcome:

It is not exactly open source. For simplicity sake, we call exes fs2_open. The licensing is really different than open source licensing.

Welcome to HLP, c. This just seemed like a natural place to put it - the centre of the active English-speaking community. :)

it isn't under any formal liscense, so we didn't think it would qualify for SF, that and SF is insane about security.

well, the license is very "formal" just not one of the SF licenses :)

But i haven't looked in a while what they accept, and we already have our own servers :)

It might make a decent place to move if HLP goes south on us... again.  Don't know if it's feasible, though.

No need, we have Max Gaming and the indiegames site. Which gives  us replacement CVS if warpcore ever bites it and all the bells and whistles we need...

Cool.  Just an idea.  Glad to see you guys have planned ahead.
