I was in the same boat a few weeks ago I played from first release (or
near to) till around 4 years ago. I could no longer justify the hours
I would spend per turn near endgame. But alas, can't stay away forever
and I have returned. I am now on turn 6 of my 2005 debut. Already
missed a turn   My time is not like it used to be.

Oh well.
Lets give it a go.
Maybe we should join forces as the Forgotten Elders.

The new versions can be found many places. Just google for it or look at
your favorite host site in the download section.

just to add my two favorite hosts:
http://www.navgap.com
http://www.planetsserver.com

And if you need some advice on the current host, look at
http://www.xs4all.nl/~donovan

Regards,
ingo

And the alternative host 'PHost' http://www.phost.de/ is still
alive. :-)

And the client VPA is open source now:
http://vpa.sourceforge.net

And EchoView is still alive:
http://www.nefo.med.uni-muenchen.de/~echoview/
(you should use the current beta version)

Sure enough, and I hope it will stay so. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to
update my little host I run.

Playing both host versions, there are always nice subtleties that are
different  .
