WTH, noone has brought this up yet? This will be epic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-d5UYRT2aw

There is the old thank you button system, but dunno if it moved from 2.3 to 3.1

Either TW Closed some bots... or EG is doing something right... or both...

hmm... didn't know it came from that also. I always remembered it from an old War movie my grandfather loved to watch when it was on AMC. But alas, everything is always reused anyways.

The best/most I can say about all of this situation... There is a DSB... There will be a DSB... Hoch is not the end of DSB... I know Hoch feels his reasoning is good/right, but people aren't going to accept it like he hopes. A quote that applies to all of SubSpace, along with DSB: "We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight!"

Nowhere was it said the name Death Star Battle could be used. BattleZone SVS (Alpha Map/Settings) was authorize and given SSC access, but they didn't want to do it without the name. Rebel Star Battle isn't Death Star Battle. On top of that, Alpha was a dead zone, where this is a zone where there is quite a few active players. There could even be another Star Wars and Star Wars Realm exception made here. Never know. It's all just waiting and watching for most of us.

Actually, Argyle takes care of the server still. Or so I am told by other DSB sysops/staff. And nowhere are my words what the council will/might do. Just things I've seen happen in the past that could happen again. Major zones have been taken from their owners more than once in the past (DSB being one of them) by server ops / other sysops. Though dunno Argyle's thoughts/feelings on what is going on, but he loved DSB enough to do everything he has for it. A lot of it will happen outside the council between the host and zone owner and staff. The only thing I see the council deciding, is allowing a new DSB like zone onto SSC for the players. Hoch is hard headed, so noone will change his mind. So honestly, if I was a group of pissed off DSB players, I'd plan more for the after than the now.

Since I am tired of the spam in my inbox... (attempting to read wedding congrats e-mails) Hoch is the European BanG Admin. BanG Admins have always typically been active zone owners/head sysops on the SSC Network. So dunno if this will continue afterwards. Exceptions can be made in extreme situations such as this to any guidelines... SSC, Billing, BanG, etc. So far the council is reacting the same way and asking the same questions everyone else is. We will not remove a zone sysop. Though if Argyle removed Hoch for any reason... not sure how that reaction would go down. Though if Loops or Chy stepped in, they quite possibly would be supported. Again, all a case by case, who really knows basis. Right now I haven't had enough time to read into this, but figured I'd just cover the questions that were asked here rather than constantly e-mailing em back. Now back to relaxing.

I'm not posting the internal notes, but that wasn't the case. He's about as much of an asshole as me in those internal notes sometimes.

I never post these, but this one I have to nominate for best SSC Ban Ticket EVER... For those who know SpaceShark, feel free to send Ratio/The Junky a big thank you

Main Site News will soon be moved to a new articles system. This will allow all news management to happen here on the frontpage of the site instead of the forums. News Posting, Comments, etc. will all be contained here, and will use the same login/cookie as the forums. So if you are logged in on the forums, you will be logged in on the site, and vice versa. This will require the addition of a Login box on the site, but should be pretty simple to add in. Player content will also be fully controlable from the site, and specialized databases will allow for quick and easy input. It will also allow staff to manage content sections a lot more easily, and will keep everything very dynamic and updated. Forums New forums have been added for non-subspace discussion, and a lot more focus on SubSpace topics will hopefully come in the general discussion forum. There may also be a few new subspace themed forums added soon, all focusing on giving more areas for specialized discussion. As always, please visit the Feedback and Support forum and let us know how we are doing, and/or what we can improve. Thanks!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idLG6jh23yE http://www.slate.com/id/2256074/?GT1=38001 --- I have to agree. Very entertaining and kept my attention for 3mins. Didn't seem really over hyped or lame, as it does play on the whole reality of the fact that 1 shot could make a career difference.

Dropped to 10s. Forget why it was that high. Probably had to do with JDS or Rootbear. New. Promote to article (once the news is up and running, and if I decide to use it) allows you to promote a post/topic to the frontpage news as a news article. will do on the fav icon. Facebook login had some issues with a few browsers last time, but might be worth a try again. Also have twitter connect. Done along with Games. I'll fix the avatars and emoticons sometime tonight or this week. Just busy with wedding stuff. I'm also going to create a version of the navbar just for SSGN.net sites with quick menu links to stuff around the website. Will make it nice to quickly browse around.

Actually sounds like zone settings. Like you guys are flooding out, which subgame will automatically block connection flooders for some time. The zone will look up, you'll be able to connect to other zones on the server, but not that zone itself. I have had it randomly happen in other zones before, but pretty rare. So I'd assume something in 17th's settings or server.ini is set wrong.

That and cleaning it up heavily is something that has been talked about. Some have mentioned just taking some of the best and inputing them into a new database as they kind of became 1 zoned and really make no sense to SS as a whole. That or are just plain retarded. But that was just a lack of administration and poor D1st0rt not wanting to read through thousands of them and delete a bunch.

Yeah, once skins stabalize again, will install them. They just updated IPB with a new "skin upgrade" feature that skinners will be able to take advantage of from here on out. Yeah, I gotta re-install those. On my list. So any suggestions for anything actually NEW? Kinda what I was going for here.

So what are some more forums you guys would like to see here for other discussion topics? Currently the Arcade scripts are being upgraded/updated for IPB 3.1 and there has been talks of a RPG being created again. Also going to install the Gallery script again. Should be entertaining and will be focused SS wide. Suggest away. You use these forums, what would you like to see?

That would be correct. Those forums have always been that way. Just they now in one category together. Well, Politics wasn't for a while after I re-added it, but changed it back a few weeks ago, maybe a bit longer even.

http://www.subspaceonline.com/ - http://www.ssgn.net/ http://www.ssforum.net/ - http://forums.ssgn.net/ (All old urls forwarding) New billing news/information site to be at: http://ssc.ssgn.net/ - currently working on finalizing content http://billing.subspaceonline.com/ - http://ssc.ssgn.net/lostpassword/ http://bang.subspaceonline.com/ - http://ssc.ssgn.net/bans/ http://quotes.subspaceonline.com/ - http://quotes.ssgn.net/ (further site merger to come soon, so may be some db errors for a short while) http://tracker.subspaceonline.com/ - http://tracker.ssgn.net/ (database not uploaded yet) Will also have sscentral.ssgn.net as a back up alias for the sscentral.com directory server. Stats will be contained there also. Probably others I can't currently think of, but will have a more complete list once more projects are completed.

As you can tell by the urls you are now visiting, everything currently planned has been merged under SSGN.net. Currently things are actually running better, and I have received a few pms that the sites are running faster. So the work I did server side to reorganize, clean up, and fix some errors has really seemed to help. There will be A LOT more features coming to the website now, and there should be more reasons to keep coming back. This site now shares the same cookie as the forums, and will allow us to have content controlled here rather than over at the forums. That does mean that the news will be moving and restructuring soon, but it will give us a few more features like a customized RSS feed, and the ability to read comments here rather than jumping to the forums and back to read posts. I will keep you guys updated on all the changes as they come. Read the comments on this post for a short list of current URL changes. Thanks!

fixed... It is something weird with the firewall. I need to look into it deeper. Just takes a quick restart of the firewall and all is fine.

Note to all future posters... this title is literally the limit. I even had to resize the title text for the site just so longer post titles could fit again since I shrunk stuff.

Actually all that is being added. Right now it is getting people on it, and a lot of people are on board. I just had to goto my cousin's son's b-day at his parents and then once the fiance got home we went over to his place and yeah. I was gonIe most the time I was gonna spend on that. But I have already outlined it and setup a task list some people have offered to help with bits of so far. I have added quite a few people to the staff for the new site, and the forum has a lot of input so far from them. Good variety of players from all over SS, and who have started in different eras spilling out ideas. I am pushing on the scores again. Quotes is being merged into the site 100% and going to clean out a bunch of them. Gallery is being re-added. Twenty Questions is going to become a weekly ordeal. Going to rebuild a new file archive. Player submitted "You know you're addicted to ss when" Contests with real prizes. Editorials section for those wanting to spill their thoughts and not get flamed. Fan Fiction section which I hope to have Rowen kick off with his old Lord of the SubSpace Rings. Favorite moment section where players can share and laugh at each others "best moment" in subspace. In the news section where people can share links to ss news stories, reviews, etc. What if... section that people enjoyed on SSNet where you could post your favorite "What if..." IE: What if Trench Wars shutdown today or What if VIE Came back to SS. Population graphs for SSC Zones and zones who request one. (less server intensive than pulling EVERY zone on the directory server) And the good old weekly editions of the Zoner SS Comics. These are just beginning ideas. People have mentioned many others to me, and will add them in time. These are the sections that made SSNet interesting to keep coming back to. And nowhere did I say all the zones would be under 1 site. Not quite sure where that came from/is coming from except from 1 person's incorrect assumptions and everyone following suit. The only sites merging under the domain is the SSC Billing information site (which I have the template finished for) with its support scripts (bang/billing), Quotes, SSForum, SSCentral's hosted sites (IE: dcme.sscentral.com), and everything at SubSpace Online. Also since SSDL has been down for some time, will probably setup a back up files section for important files and things that are still useful. A lot of this will be player driven, and a lot of it will use the forums for management so players can very easily submit content, and we can monitor/control it. Most will only be visible on the site itself, but will be submitable here. It just makes it more centralized, and easier on whoever steps up to fill in as my comp time is about to take another big hit with the possibility of going back to school this fall for the next 3yrs, and working a lot more overtime. Right now there is more work at the shipyard than there has been in its 100+yr history, and 7-12s and 7-10s are a mandatory standard through a lot of areas of my shop and the yard, and my section is losing fighting it off. So between school, marriage, and work, I've gotta do something to keep these sites afloat and finish what I started with SSO. Those are my intentions. If they are wrong to you, sorry. I am tired of trying to please everyone. I have tried for too many years, and have just driven so many people away because I don't just put my foot down and tell people to fuck off. So if you got suggestions for the plan, suggest them. But "I don't like the idea" or "This idea sucks" isn't gonna do any good.

Over the next few days, you will notice some oddities around the website as features, graphics, and eventually even the url to the site changes. There will be more frontpage content in due time, and a lot more focus on keeping people connected to the game even when they can't login. Will keep you updated as work progresses.
