[The Starport News]Server Move
-
First of all, I want to thank Worfeh for hosting The Starport for so long, even through the tough DDOS times. He did a great job and I think we should all applaud him, without him Starport would not be here now.
That being said, Worfeh no longer wants to host The Starport due to understandable reasons. In the near future, I will host the site, so expect a downtime very soon (as in a few days).
There will also be some changes, mainly related to the Forge:
The current forge software will be replaced with a new one, named Redmine - http://www.redmine.org
I hope you are not mad at me for losing your projects.
Redmine has some substantial advantages, its simply more modern and also open source (GForge was closed source).
There were also serious problems in porting the Forge over to a new server, which contributed to this change (we would have lost data anyway, so to say).Also, we will allow SVN for FL tools and mods! You heard that right, also for mods. After experiencing team-development in an SVN environment within the Freeworlds team, I dont want any of you to miss out.
So, stay tuned and dont be frightened by a soon-to-come downtime.

Nice that the T SP don’t give up. Was there a new attack by the way?
-
This also means that if you have anything on the Forge that you’d like to keep, back it up NOW!
-
Thx for letting us know man. Hope all goes well and according to plan.

I have to echo the thanks to Worfeh for hosting it for so long. He put up with alot, and spent a MASSIVE amount of his time combating attacks in the past. Thanks bud, we all hugely appreciate the time and effort you put in.
Glad to hear there is a new host, so thanks w0dk4.

No more words needed

The DNS update went extremely fast.
Thats why it went that fast.I would like to thank all for the support in the past 1.5 years i hosted Startport.
Due to a lot of real life reasons and also a change of interest i decided a few months ago i should stop with hosting Startport.I had a lot of fun working on a project like this, doing the DB stuff and keeping the server clear from nasty things.
But time and interest went away and i was slacking, it could be days to notice me if there would be something wrong, and that isn’t right as server monkey.Heads up to W0dk4 who took the brave decission to host Starport, and i believe he is the right person for the job.
Also heads up to the other admins, who keep this site clean of unwanted messages and users.
I still think it is a great achievment that we did to bring Starport to this level and that it can be part of a still going on Freelancer community.Heads up to the numurous server admins and mod developers who keep this game going for that redicules amout of time allready, and still it gets developed more bows.
And thanks to all the “regular” readers, people who contribute to the community in what ever form they choosed to forfill.
Im not entirely gone, will check this site from time to time and will post some spam where needed.
Regards,
Worfeh/Elbert

Thanks from me to past and present and future hosters, this site is now critical to our community.
I did try to usurp that position on different servers including our own www.rrjds.com/forum - but it didn’t work…
So I’m plotting my next move…
Maybe…
Nah…
Or perhaps…
??
Nah, better not tell anyone yet, must keep it secret…

I play SP mods and like to get missions at the bars.
Is there a way to start a Second Life engine in the cut seen in
a multi player game to have avatars give out missions for rank in
a faction this could be fun to log on and play with you all and get
a corsair mission to take a tour of five star systems and
eradicate all enemy’s of the Corsairs pay 700mil.
