Sorry about the delay guys, didn't realize it was paused on my account- thought I just happened to be taking advantage of it.

I'm sorry to have to announce a bad thing (in my opinion): My host is changing from Linux based to Windows based. Not my decision and I can't do much about it, but let me tell you that I don't like it at all.

While it should be theoretically possible for me to get all the nice things back that I have right now (sendmail, webserver, don't know about cronjobs and multiplexers like screen) my trust in Windows as a serious multiuser system is quite low. I don't expect that it would be possible to login graphically (or otherwise?) with more than one connection, I have no idea. I will either try to get my stuff on the Windows system or else use a linux box that I am administrating at my office, or something.

If for some reason you can't connect to the game server anymore (because the DNS records will prolly be changed) then try the current IP: 88.198.59.162

If that doesn't work anymore, too, then I guess the game is on hiatus...

I'll try to sort it out ASAP but as I wrote before, I'll be busy aswell.

If I know anything definitive I'll let you know.

P.S.: Why does this forum tell me "Post already exists" when I am posting in an entirely different thread???

Would anyone mind if we just shut this game down?

The game has been bogging down. I am getting pretty busy, and Homer is going on vacation.

Sounds like Ich has his hands full as well.

Any decision the host makes is fine with me.

I don't decide anything as I'm not participating in the game, unless you were referring to Saint_Dude. I guess turning off the timer kinda killed the game flow here. I'll continue to provide hosting, you decide if you want to keep it up or not.

In case you are still interested in continuing the game, the server switch is finished. The game is now up and running at valhalla.techno-mage.com with everything else staying the same. I'm using nbsmtp instead of sendmail for now, so if you don't get the turn notifications via email anymore then send me a PM. (which only applies to Foodstamp

)

Big thanks to Gandalf Parker who is providing the host.
