Everyone... friends, fellow-players, and everyone else
. I guess it has
come time for me to call it quits. It is with much reluctance that I decide
to close down my hosting service at Battlestar Command Bridge. yes, this is
no joke, and I regret having to do it. The reasons of course are many, and
the reasons don't really matter that much when you are a player
on the site, faced with your hosting site closing down. But just let me say
that over the past couple of years I have faced a few personal crises, as
well as some hardships, but through it all I remained steadfast in my
devotion to hosting. However recently my life and circumstances have taken
a turn, and I just have too much on my plate to continue running this host.
Not only problems with the Hosting system, ie. AUTO TROLL, and its problems
it has given me recently, but with viruses, worms, and just too much to
list. It has gotten to where my time spent doing this is just too much, and
thus I find it necessary to quit... I don't know if it is for good, but
experience has shown that once a site leaves, it probably won't come back.
I have to admit that I have made some good friends here, and will continue
my relationship with them, to a lesser degree of course. I will not be
completely gone of course, I plan on continuing to play in games, and offer
consulting for new hosts, and players, as well as continue my work on the
Newsletter. I will also continue to be moderator at VGAPLANETS2, the yahoo
group also. My site forum will still be up for a while and everyone can
feel free to use it as they wish, and I will hang out there also, and of
course this newsgroup.
Merlyn at The Last Domain has graciously agreed to take over most of my
games, and I encourage anyone playing here that isn't registered over there,
to go there and get signed up. Merlyn is a great host, and a steadfast
supporter, and I recommend his services to anyone! As a matter of fact that
is where I plan on spending a good deal of my time... probably doing
templates for AT and other stuff and playing too of course!
Be aware that this won't take effect until around Mid-September, and myself
and Merlyn will be working out details of game transfer. I will be
contacting players in each game with details of what will happen, and
everyone should feel free to drop me a line and ask any questions they may
have. I realize this is short notice to some, and a sad day for others, but
I will try my utmost to make it an easy transition for everyone.
Again, a huge THANK YOU to all my steadfast supporters, and you all know who
you are, but I find it necessary to name them...
