PoLiX

I packaged the last few installers, it really isn't that hard to do.

HP is notorious for installing its own version of various Microsoft development libraries. It is very possible yours were overwritten (or the originals were put there) by an incomplete install (or you removed it) of HP's program, so it is trying to install the program to finish/properly configure the framework. Learned this from experience with another program and my HP printer.

Legand or Legend?

It is based on votes... Total votes over a certain amount of time, etc. It is all about interest. Only thing that worries me is most the games I looked at that were Greenlit were not free... I may have just been interested in looking at the ones that were not, but Steam does talk a lot about profit sharing and how cost is judged when it comes to Greenlight. I know they most likely have already worked this out, but something makes me feel this may also weigh heavily against their attempt at this.

Still not greenlit yet.

Going to probably be running into these regularly when we have high bot traffic volumes. This might end up being a temp move until I can secure something better. Sorry for the issues.

Sad to admit, it distracted me for a few minutes... hah.

Peerblock is honestly horrible as some of their lists block entire ISPs of servers. Their US Government one for instance blocks all Savvis servers iirc, and Savvis is a HUGE network provider. Read about a lot of issues with it on the steam forums, as they had a steam whitelist that is missing tons of server ips for various steam games. IE: CS:GO uses a few major clan ran/sponsored servers to support high traffic times.

In order to upgrade some of the software, Gallitin needed to move to a new server. Software could be upgraded but all files would have been lost, so just moving to a new server was easier than moving everything to a temp server just to move back, etc. SubSpace.co seems to be working well, but all subdomains and hosted sites are still in need of restoration still. I will try to work on that tonight as I just literally got home from work and got SSCO finished up. Gotta run to the store for now, but if anyone needs anything message Mom and she can text me.

Dunno what is up, but seems something wrong with your site?

Then fix it?

Only suggestions I'd have is maybe cut it down to near 1-1.5mins, and have a zone list without all the offline zones. Otherwise looks good.

ZiGNoTZaG stepped up to cover half, and I am sure D1s will cover the other. All should be safe and sound. It really kills me to half to ask, but guess just part of working for the DoD anymore. Never know what sort of pay cut is coming.

While back I passed the real day to day admining of this site to Gallitin, and planned to turn over the financial aspect to him and others willing to help. Well, in a turn of events I shortly thereafter received a promotion, and began working a lot of overtime. I then decided to keep financing the site and scripts as it was really no issue at the time. Was a lot cheaper and easier in the long run to just keep everything in my control and pay for it myself. Now with Furloughs looming, and me trying to save every penny I can to make sure I don't have to sweat too much, I really just can't justify the cost in my mind. Trust me that it is really hard to type knowing all the years I have put into keeping this site live. As many know I only ask for help when I really need it, and this time is more of just a loan until after the furloughs (unless they don't go through, in which I can repay sooner). Just hoping to raise $90 (domain by april 2nd + script renewals in jun). Many have suggested ads, but from day 1 my goal was to never have advertisements on this website. SubSpace is ad free, so I believe the websites should be too. Anyways, any help is appreciated. I'll just cover what can't be raised.

Mom use to deal with this with me, but I dunno if Space is the one now, or if it is her. Talk to either of them.

Looking Good

Lone Outlaw and Aquarius hired. It will be a bit of touch and go and testing as I have never played with moderators of the download script before. You guys have the ability to do most needed operations except delete files for the time being. Lemme know if any questions... Moving this to News, Feedback, and Support for further discussion.

Lookin for a couple people interested in moderating the download section. Mostly just need to watch for new submissions (mod cp has a simple function for doing this), and maybe upload some files as you have time to. Simple job really.

I could add some moderators to the files section, which may help with the issue. I'll bug Gal about it.

Problem is the only way to do this is to allow the group to bypass moderation afaik. I'll look more into it, but it'd open a bigger can of worms.

Yea, I was going to message you about that, but had to run to the store and stuff. After I totally forgot about it, hah, sorry. Thanks for fixing it man.

Yep, because SSC Billing is a dictatorship, and all the others who also voted no on your approval didn't count.

Since was e-mailed about this... One issue I saw when looking into Greenlight was they want actively updated games, that or the game was to be submitted by the developer. It may have changed since, though a lot about greenlight has changed quickly with it actually costing to submit a game now and all. I would say getting behind one of the new client projects, and promoting it is your guys' best hope here. They also would like to see features from the Steam client added into the game using their SDK for their Steam Community. This isn't a requirement from what I have seen yet, but I have noticed some non-valve developed games have this function in them. This is where Priit would come in without question, and where there would probably be some issues with the way Continuum's in game communications work. Now just being listed and nothing more is an obvious option (and probably all it turns out to be), but with Valve, I don't always trust this is all they ever expect. Finally... Continuum has had issues for many people (myself included back on XP) with being launched by Steam. Not a huge amount of research was put into why, but I do remember the most likely assumed one was Continuum's packing security keeping external programs from opening it. But hey, I'm not involved anymore. So someone else can try pursuing it. Things change, so could be a good chance right now. Edit: I'd be more than happy to add anyone to the steam group as admin who is willing to keep it updated. Just message me on steam: http://www.steamcommunity.com/id/pressured/

14 Years... Almost seems sad when you think I am 27 years old and that is more than half my life. Played this game on my friend’s dad’s computer, but never really got highly involved in it. Did get my own copy, but didn’t have the internet at the time on my parent’s computer so never played it. 12 Years... My cousin talked me into downloading SubSpace. Tried it, looked familiar to a game I remembered, but Quake2 was more fun. (Sorry Trench Wars). Tried out SCF West again a few months later when my cousin had moved there, and I was hooked. Eventually clicked on a zone I swore I recognized, but found it to be so much different (later learning how much SSX !EXTREME GAMES! had changed). But alas, I was hooked. Few months later I created “PoLiX” to work with new players and created a squad with another player. Lots of squads and history there… 11 Years… I found SSCentral.com while browsing SubSpace websites. It looked like it needed some help, so I hired on. Quickly I found myself helping update/add content, and even doing a whole redesign of the site. T-Man made me an admin of the site, and off I went changing the layout, updating the pages and scripts, and even managing hosting of zones and squads. 10 Years… Rowen and I decided to create a new central forum system to compete with ForumHQ. We dubbed it SSForum.net and it took off like a rocket. Still to this day I think it was highly successful and serves a valuable purpose in this community. 8 Years… Living far from family and friends, working overnight with very little sleep, and breaking up with my only connection to life (girlfriend) I decided to move back home as find a new job. But I had become so entangled in things SubSpace (Staff in zones, developer, programmer, website admin, etc. etc.) I knew I wouldn’t be able to dedicate the time I had before. I began trying to quit but people literally just wouldn’t let me and I felt more and more work was piling on. The only choice I had was to jump on the offer to sell SSForum.net to SA>SwiftAttack (swift) and then get myself net-banned. I know it sounds dumb, but it was the only logical way I felt I had left. 6 Years… Swift said he needed some help with the forums and websites, so I stepped back in and offered to help out. Little did I know this would begin my return to the game and a community of sysops who were highly against me being involved again. Luckily the sysops who really mattered in the long run accepted me back, and we worked together on various projects to enhance the community again. 5 Years… Ghost Ship messages me the constant bugging and spamming of Priit has paid off. He was going to send us Continuum .39 Final Beta to be tested. Being SSForum had the most active technical support, he figured we’d be the best to control it. We ran closed for a bit, and then Ghost gave the ok to pass it out publicly. So began a large divide in the community as some sysops were outraged the council had not been given 1st access. Luckily these sysops were all gone very shortly anyways. Well .39 worked out well, but due to a bug in Subgame, it was decided to rename it to 0.40 Final. This will honestly probably be the last version of Continuum. Sorry folks… 3 Years… Ghost Ship gives me Level 1 Netwide BanG to help the smaller zones without Level 1 ops manage net-bans, set net-bans, and manage their Level 2 ops (I would later fix this giving almost all zones a Level 1 Operator of some nature). I then ran into an issue with a player in TW stealing names, and this thrusted me into the next spotlight. To help manage the issue Ghost Ship gave me billing op, removing the previously inactive ones. I was then told Mom would be my partner, and we began trying to keep tickets actively managed and help players retrieve their lost/stolen aliases. 1 Year or so… After finding out my Wife was pregnant, I decided it was time to make my move out of SubSpace. I 1st wanted to make sure SubSpace had a decent domain name for me to leave it with. I had heared of .co domains, and jumped on SubSpace.co after seeing Continuum.co snatched quickly. I also recommended that a new BanG Admin be hired, and the trust I had begun to have in SpaceHiker made me feel he’d be a fitting replacement. I was working both as a BanG Admin and a Billing Operator (Mom as primary), which was something previously “Not Allowed” and knew it had to be someone trustworthy and level headed that’d be accepted to continue that. So as far as SSC goes, you are being left in very capable hands with Mom and SpaceHiker. We have also added Dav & Ratio/The Junky to the team not long ago. I began an admin search here in order to find my replacement. I had not had much success (though my admins have always been great) in finding someone with the knowledge and time to take over. Gallitin had offered before, and I figured “Why Not?”. He had proved valuable, level headed, and knows IPB very well. I believe he will keep the site running, and assist the community as needed. I will hang around for a bit to help him get acquainted as needed, and to transfer over what needs transferring. I am very confident though that you won’t notice much change in how things operate around here, though you may see improvements and projects I failed to complete completed. So… Long winded, sure. But I could type LOTS more. God knows I somehow did a lot for this game over a rather short period of time. I carried a lot of my experience, and the leadership skills I developed here into my careers. Currently am in line to take over as Trade Instructor and Work Leader for my trade. Many have asked what I do for a living, and it is very hard to explain without explaining things I cannot. But the simplest terms of it is I work for the DoD's NAVSEA Division, where we design and build specialized tooling to do repairs/upgrades on US Navy vessels (nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers to be precise). My main role in this is designing, and grinding the cutters used in these machines and the machining of them (IE: Tool & Cutter Grinder). I was hired to be a Toolmaker Machinist, but found my love on the other end of the shop. Might be the ability to use CNC Machines, but really is only part of it. I get to teach people every day, and help them learn a whole different part of our Toolmaking trade they don’t always get to on the outside. Well, I enjoyed my time here. I won’t be 100% gone, but I won’t be actively contributing to the community anymore. I hope I leave you all in good hands. As we say, “Fair Winds and Following Seas”… Or is that "Fair Solar Winds and Following Open Space"... Oh well

Thanks for caring. Going to take a week or so to get everything turned over both in game and out. But this has been a decision I made well over a year ago (SpaceHiker was my personally planned replacement from the 1st time I suggested him). I just promised myself that if my SS responsibilities ever felt like a 2nd job, I would step down. I don't feel like I enjoy this game anymore, and my free time needs to be spent on my other hobbies that do bring me happiness (and of course my daughter). I'll probably type something up, as I knew I couldn't get out of her quietly. But I don't really wish to make it some big deal.
