[Freelancer Community News]Freelancer Feature Article needs your Screenshots!

I do show other sites on my forum but as of now, with my forum being hosted by FF, they don’t allow html anymore and the server ring doesn’t work and neither would the FLCN Bar. I lost all that and even my TS viewr and more. I have to use worded links now and yours has been there for some time since the transition from the phpBB v2.0 to the v3.0.5 style. I try to include most English sites because all my players are mainly English speaking and if the sites are in German, French, Russian (?), etc… they won’t visit them anyway. I have a translation button in my browser so they don’t bother me as long as the translator does a half way decent job.

My partner has the server ring on his forum because he is getting ad-free hosting from a private host. It works fine on his forum but not added the FLCN because he hasn’t a server up anymore so, it’s not really needed. The Server ring works fine but it’s not complete with all sites, it was one of the first ones created before it got more added to it.

However, I have visited many other forums where others have servers and players have problems and get help and often got help from them, not just here all the time. I spend more time searching forums for answers than asking for help in hopes that I can use what I find on them to figure it out on my own. Getting 4/5 different replies only confuses me and many times, the replies end up in a discussion between others and veer off of what I need to know, into something else.

Disregard the above post now anyway, it doesn’t matter to me anymore. I may leave gaming altogether. I’m going through some real tuff RL times right now and things are just building up in me. The way the economy is here right now, I’m stuck with a big decision to lose what all I have to go back home and try to help the situation there. If I leave, I lose everything, If I stay, I lose my Dad without seeing him. I only see one other option but, that wouldn’t solve the problems at hand, only create more hurt.

There was a time I like most, would never have put a link in a “Server Forum” pointing to a “Community Forum” like The Star Port.

However I would like to think we have grown past this super obsessive “No Recruiting for Bal, Bla,” and “That is a form of it as there is other Servers or Mod’s on that site” mentality that once crippled much of the “Community” in our community.

But now I do, when I have a player or user with a problem I and the other Admins on our Server cannot solve it. I have zero problem with placing a link in the clear on the forum pointing to The Starport’s Freelancer Support .

There is little reason to believe placing a link will cost you players if you consider how few people can master typing “www.goggle.com” “Freelancer, Servers, Online” and looking at a list. If they wish to change server, they will.

That’s just my opinion on it.

And, Roo, Fantastic Article… Please keep them coming!!!

I’ll be adding a link as well to help move it along. 8-)
