The Spinward Main (New Website)

JRMapes

(please move this if it should go elsewhere)

I have recently opened The Spinward Main website.

This is the quick rundown,

We are first and foremost a fan driven website. Membership and participation in adding content to the site is encouraged. One of the goals to this site is to become a file and data repository, including Traveller Programs and Utilities. If you have some obscure spreadsheets, programs, and sundry utilities, please keep us in mind and I hope you will be willing to share. This of course applies to any and all NON-Commercial software. We will not pirate. Abandonware is ok.

We are still in the construction and growing process so the walls and furnishings are still a bit sparse but I try to add new things as often as I can. I hope you will join us and help us grow.

Moving messages isn't so easy with this software; so let it stand.  It
would have been better in The Souk/freetrav.marketplace.  Also, some
newsreaders aren't going to pick up links in HTML, so website URIs
should also be placed in clear text in the message.

I'll list this site in Freelance Traveller's Infocenter as well.

I keep forgetting that this goes out to news readers. You'd think after all this time I could remember that considering until this was redone, that is how I usually accessed  it. jeesh.

The Spinward Main looks nice JR! I'll have to explore that in the days to come. :)

"Curiously enough, the more the obsession with the game grows in the higher dimensions, the less it is actually played, since most of the competing teams are now in a state of permanent warfare with each other over the interpretation of these rules. This is all for the best, because in the long run a good solid war is less psychologically damaging than a protracted game of Brockian Ultra Cricket."

Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately due my health taking a sharp decline not long after getting the site going and my continuing health problems for the forseeable future, the Spinward Main will shut down when the hosting contract comes due in a couple months. I had high hopes for the site but I didn't expect to be blindsided by my health. What makes it even worse is that my other website on the same host will have to go away as well and it is has been continously online since 2001. Luckily the AD&D/OD&D website I started years ago on another host, Kinghts & Knaves Alehouse, was taken over by a three very good friends and founding members. So at least it will live on.

I am still trying to find a way to keep the Spinward Main and my other site open but right now I just don't see it happening.

JR, if you'd like to preserve the data, I can suck it down, and - if
you'll allow, I can integrate/reformat the data to fit with Freelance
Traveller.
