Sorry for the website. We’re renovating our office and we have to unplug the server from time to time.

I’m thinking it’s time to add even more to the website. Visit this forum post for information on maybe how you can help.

From LetsDrinkCoke over ICQ:
*** MASS TRADEWARS ICQ ***
There is a “bring your own corp” game being set up to be played on Vaders Blacksun TWGS. We are trying to promote this game for a big turnout. If you’re interested, check out
https://www.tw-attac.com/twforum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=19727 to see some updates on the game. https://www.tw-attac.com/twforum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=19733 to put your name on a list to help form extra corps. This should be a very good and fun game.

Sorry the site has been down. We had a major storm and took some damage. Needless to say, um, we’re up again.

Oh BTW Merry Christmas!

Sorry about the service the past few days. We have a service call in to our ISP about our connection’s reliability.

Until now, the TWGS Search system could not index TradeWars servers that ran behind a BBS. Drakamir has released an add-on for Synchronet, the TWGS Robot Service, that allows our robot to connect and index servers running on Synchronet systems. His BBS, Holodeck One, is now a TWGS Search-enabled server.

If you run a Synchronet system and would like to add it to TWGS Search, download and install this javascript add-on and visit our sysop’s page to add your server.

Sorry, I’ve been tweaking the website to improve performance. The site has been gaining popularity again and I’m struggling to keep the machine fast. I may need another memory upgrade. There are times when I max out Apache’s 50 server processes.

Looks like I accidently deleted the original post. We are on a new server. Much faster, more memory, etc. New OS. Debian/Kubuntu Linux instead of Mandrake.

The BBS Documentary does go into door games a little bit, and spends a little bit of time talking about Trade Wars addiction. Check out the video here.
