Well,
big news this week. Of course, the biggest is emperorshammer.net
going down. Details about this are posted on EHNet.org as well
as emperorshammer.org. Basically, CrystalTech shut down the site
for using too much resources, even though we were paying for their
use. We've managed to get them to allow us till Monday to back
up old information, but we are currently searching for a new host.
I've found several options and suggested them, but if you'd like
to do your own research, the host must fit the criteria listen
on http://www.imperialacademy.org/requirements.htm
and should cost no more than $50-60/month.
As
a result of these complications, a new rule has been added
to the Internet Guidelines. Sites may not host with
CrystalTech. I am currently only aware of one site that does,
isdcolossus.com but I think there may be one or two more. If you
know of any, please let me know so I can make sure the site owners
move it off ASAP. For sites with CT hosting, I'll give a grace
period of 2-3 weeks to move your site off to another host. Any
questions, contact me.
We've
been working a little more on ANN, but with the unexpected collapse
of eh.net, it looks like we may need to push off the release date.
I don't know when it will be released, but I promise it will be
soon :P
Also,
the release date for Hawkeye II will probably also be pushed off
to somewhere around Nov. 1st. I'm sorry about all this, but due
to all the holidays right around now and now with eh.net stuff
has been really busy.
I'll
be on leave from tonight till Sunday night, Leeson is in charge
till then. Dae Cam has been on leave for a little bit, he should
be returning by Monday. Turtle is on semi-leave busy with college
and army stuff.
The
old message boards that were hosted on the TC message center will
begin to be moved Sunday night/Monday after the upgrade on EHNet's
server by Koral is completed.
This
upgrade means that EHNet will be down from 12:00 AM, till about
2:00 AM, so don't be surprised. This downtime is scheduled.
That
looks to be it for now. Keep watching EHNet.org for more updates!
