Subspace.net News
Filed under: General News
It can’t have escaped your notice that Subspace.net is down, not least because there’s a big redex where the ‘Download Subspace’ banner used to be on this very blog. Despite what it says when you click on a site formally hosted on ss.net the domain is not for sale, but it will no longer offer hosting.
I’m not exactly sure for the reasons behind AhmedF’s decision to do this, but if it’s down to receiving a constant stream of racist abuse on the forums of the very zones that he’s offered free web hosting to then you can’t really blame him.
The story with MasterRater is that thanks to Passplay (the Chaos sysop it’s OK to like) it will find hosting on the new server that will also handle all the Chaos, Dueling and Premier League bots. More news on this as it comes in, although it looks like the Premier games are going to go ahead this weekend without MR or the new server in place.
Things are less clear on the beginners’ site and the 2v2 forums, although I wouldn’t be surprised to see them end up on SSLeague.net where the Premier League forums are hosted. And there’s always Shanky.com, who’s always willing to throw a little bandwidth to the deserving ss site or two. Not sure how this is going to effect the start date of Dueling League, a temporary solution for them might be to get their forums hosted on SSForums.
As for things on this blog; I’ll leave the dead links up until they get new hosting. The button will have to stay as a redex for a while. I’m going to be away from home until next Monday. When I get back I’ll dig out the graphic from my temporary file cache on my home PC.
