Its Offical - Page 2

"What can I say, I had a great run with this game. It will continue to be a great game. Its just time for me to move on. My heart simply is just not in it any more. If you want the ship sets, they are all posted here, and at PBW. I will be posting less and less as I begin to focus on other things. I�ll keep trying to get the site back up, but in the end, it really does not matter what happens, after all, it is simply just a game."

I would just like to say that I regard you as one of the 'Founding Fathers' of the current Se4 community. You have contributed a hell of a lot since se4 was released and you are 'The Man' as far as Trek shipsets are concerned. True we all move on to something else eventually but I have a feeling you will be back (Se4: System Wars/Quadrent Wars/whatever is around the corner.). Heck, there was a time when I stopped collecting comics and playing Magic the Gathering , two of my main hobbies for years. I just recently got into both again (MTG:Online is heavily addictive!

).

Bottom line, you will be missed. But do try to drop in from time to time

Atrocities ,
At windingstream.com
I have about 30MB, 5000MB / month, and 5 email addresses available if you would like to build your site there. I'll give you full admin rights.

It's the things that are going these days:

The internet is officially real estate these days and people who aren't paying *Taxes* are being evicted, whoever they may be, regardless how long they were in the spot.

Ahh, when this was called the greatest information source in the world...

I hope that we will see more of you, rather than less of you atrocities.

Atrocities,

As with Gryphin, I can offer you space on my server at Hostway. I would be willing to lend you some space (30-50megs) and a few email addy's (I have 30 left I think) for your use. It would be an imperfect solution, but has the virtue of being free and without someone looking over your shoulder.

Whether or not you take me up on the web-space offer, I wish you luck and am sorry to see anyone go "offline" due to discouragment such as you have endured. Anytime an active Online community member suffers from external problems and goes offline, the whole community is diminished.

Cheers!
Trajan

Atrocities-

I am not a big fan of mixing trek and SE but I really appreciated your efforts to satisfy those that do.

Dont let those #$&%! beat you

- by retreating from your passion for SE4 and STrek, you are giving them exactly what they wanted.

Who cares what those 20 people think? you shouldnt! I say in their ear. If they dont like it - they dont have to look at the shipsets...

Take up the offer from one of these generous people posting here, to rehost your site.

see you on the forums

Atrocities · #16 August 27th, 2002, 10:57 PM

Thanks guys. I am not giving up, I am just taking some time away. Eveyone has to do it sometime.

I want to focus on getting my editing system to work right. I have been away from ENG, Video for far too long, and I want to get back into the swing of things.

What AF did they did for their own reasons. I agree that it is chicken****, but what can one do? Simply take five fall back, regroup, refocus, and attack again with a new plan. I am doing that.

I sincerely thank all of you for the offers of hosting. I will more than likely be contacting you. I would like to have a place where people can go and see the sets before they download them. Much like Universal and Kuat Drive Yards.

I will eventually get the site back up, its important to me, but not on the top of my list.

Besides, you guys have this wonderful forum and Space Empires Org to keep you informed on the latest events.

Atrocities,

I could prolly get you up and running again before the weekend, BUT, you need to move your BUTT!

Atrocities · #18 August 27th, 2002, 11:39 PM

I do not have copies of any of the main pages. They were all lost a while back when my second HD failed. I will have to rebuild them all. Besides, the time it would take to upload nearly a 1000 images bogles the mind.

I have been kinda sorta working on a back up site for a while, but never really did much with it. The site does not have the ease of use as AF did. You got a blank page, you wrote your HTML, and you linked things to files much easier than here. CLICK ME

someone might have them Cached. i dont, but i suggest that people who frequent the site check for them.

Puke's right...people checking their Caches, the easiest way is to click on the 'work offline' option, then go to his site and DON'T try to go Online to fetch it, otherwise things may be overwritten.

Atrocities, you've definitely been a cornerstone of the SEIV mod community, and I hope you'll fire up production in the future. Don't let a few weirdos with too much time on their hands discourage ya, because the work you do is noticed and appreciated.
