[The Starport News]Acquisition of an old domain
-
Due to the extremely generous donation of a contributor here at The Starport, we have been able to secure the www.lancersreactor.com domain. We are delighted to be able to use this domain to truly showcase our beloved game as well as show visitors, both new and old to Freelancer , all the incredible advances your mods have brought to the greater FL community.
Sadly, throughout the years, this once vibrant and respectable domain of the FL community has been tarnished by a continual string of ineffective leadership. As such, we are keeping TLR.com linked to The Starport because our site easily contains the greatest number of active and experienced Freelancer members and modders. We can now be confident that new guests will be linked to a site that has the best and accurate source of information about FL.
With this domain we will be going back to the grass roots of TLR, which originally was created as a news site for the community, by the community. As a news site, Freelancer modders will be able to reach an even greater audience. We know, with your posted mod content, we will rekindle some players desire to play this wonderful game again on your servers.
We hope that you welcome this new addition to our site and will use its new purpose to its fullest potential.
Thank you,
The Starport Admins -

Such news should surely be spread amongst the community. People often say there is a lack of Freelancer related news - here is possibly one of the most unexpected ones in the past year

Quite apparently OP thinks otherwise. That’s rather unfortunate.

It was still owned by that random Jason guy who tried to use it to promote some kind of online browser game. Then it fell into disuse before being put back on availability, as far as I know through an auction.

But the current isn’t ? As from my point of view, the only Lancer’s Reactor will remain the existent one, and not the new (well old) domain you acquired. It might be a great achievement though, but think about this… do you really expect TLR members to come to join the “new” one that is hosted by TSP ?

Utterly baffled by this perception. Members post on places they want to. If people want to post on a site, they post on a site. If they don’t, they don’t. You can’t “steal” members… so where is this perception coming from? :roll:
Or was it more a “I’d like to get you the domain” 
in right hands!
