[The Starport News]Server Switch & Site Direction

2x: It looks like here are quite some recent posts about FL, maybe we should jump at the train and stay there a bit? Might end up becoming so advertising for us, after all;

The subreddit seems even more dead than we are, about a post a month.

RSI of course has way more traffic, but Roberts has been pretty clear about him largely not caring about Freelancer and Starlancer. Wing Commander is his pet series, the rest can rot. It certainly doesn’t make me feel particularly welcome, and I don’t think posting about TSP there would help us much anyway (not to mention it’d probably be removed).

If you do a pure advertising post, maybe.
But probably not if we pop in once in a while and post solutions for their problems.

Well, I don’t agree with that.

The company who import EVE into China also build up a Official community for CEVE as well.

In the mean time, in China, there is another community build by player call EVE-China-Fans site (or ECF), and which is way more popular than the Official one.

I think the key is: Be Unique

Maybe you guys can figure out how to make this community more adaptable with those Key games.

By adaptable I mean not only make something like skin theme (simple one), news source etc but also doing something like data sync so player can see their game data in this website. Don’t know if that’s possible through.

And also, don’t bind yourself with one game

Thank you to keeping TSP alive !

A great website to learn how to make a mod with some precious knowledge about that !

Cheers

It’s indeed nice to see the site is still up, thank you for keeping the accumulated knowledge in existence.

Perhaps it might be possible for the site to turn into a SC modding community…

Hmm…

I am looking for a new fun project between my 60+ working weeks.
Would be fun to transform this site in to a more up to date system with more expansion features.

But its still amazing this site even exists. Old game, old site software and forums. And (DO NOT HIT ME) old members

And one of the oldest members just turned up apparently

You can delete this bot, since the post is a copy of a post from Vital: http://the-starport.net/freelancer/forum/viewtopic.php?post_id=60133#forumpost60133

SC should be covered imho, as the poll suggests.
