Title: Happy 25th Birthday, HLP
Post by: Goober5000 on January 07, 2026, 01:59:19 am

To everyone who has contributed to HLP over the years, in ways large and small, congratulations.  It is because of you that this community endures.  25 years is really something to be proud of.  How many other internet communities can say the same?

Here's to 25 years of Bringing Modders Together. 🍻🥂

Huge thanks to everyone who's run and supported the community over the years. For the friendships, the creativity, the passion, and the incredible mod releases.

Here's to another 25 years of FreeSpace modding and Bringing Modders Together 🍻

Happy Birthday HLP and a very big thank you and outstanding work to everyone in the community, especially those that made HLP/FS2 SCP what it is and are still working on the source code, mods, assets scripts etc.!

Awesome that FS+FS2 is still being kept alive and up-to-date (I'm currently playing in VR ;) )
