The server migration was completed about a week ago, and things look to be stable.

Hi @Uridium, I'm still working through this so don't have a full update yet, but the short version is that the server that hosts the site was hit with an exploit that wiped all of the data. I've since worked with our host to restore from backup and patch the exploit, but that is a short term fix. I'm currently upgrading the server as a more proper fix to prevent this in the future, but that is a little more complex than I was hoping for. I'll keep you all posted once we are completely moved over. Thanks for your patience, and I appreciate you asking this here. 👍

welcome in, @LeeM 🙂

so freakin cool, can't wait to see where this goes 🎉

very cool! good stuff @AdamHull 💪

Congrats, and enjoy the time away! 😀

Alrighty all, @Dave has now formally passed me the torch. Thanks again @Dave! I'll be posting a new thread soon regarding longer term plans, and there may be some technical things changing behind the scenes, but for the time being the goal is to just keep things running smoothly. With that, MWG is officially staying online! 🎉

Thanks for posting your intro @Albenski253! Yeah it's definitely nice to have people around to help w scripts and such. Glad to hear you had such a positive experience. 🙂 Good luck with the games you're working on. Feel free to show us whenever you're ready!

Awesome stuff @Dayo! This made me laugh. Hopefully you don't find me to be as disturbing as my name made you feel! I appreciate that. 😄 And yes, it's been awhile indeed. 😮 😅

Hi all 👋 We're working on a transfer plan now. MWG has been a partner for pbbg.com for years, so I'm glad to be able to assist. Specifics are TBD but the forum will stay online for the foreseeable future. The marketplace and hosting will shut down as planned. Your patience is appreciated while we work on a smooth transition! Thank you @Dave for all your work here. 💪

Hi fellow devs! I've been meaning to talk about my game here, so here goes. ? Imperial Conflict is a space-themed military strategy game. I took over almost 3 years ago now from the original owner, who created it all the way back in 2000. Before that, I had been playing it off and on for years, before becoming a moderator and then volunteer dev, and then ultimately the new owner. We've got new players mixed in with oldbies from 18 years ago, and recently have a small surge in new players because of our new "Infinitum" galaxy, which will never end. We also have a round-based galaxy called Milky Way that is our original galaxy, still going strong. Both galaxies start tomorrow, Sat @ 17:00 GMT. Here's an example of our game map, showing the upcoming Milky Way round. You can click here to interact with it, even as a guest: https://imperialconflict.com/map.php?galaxy=62&zoom_level=0 I'd very much love to see some of you guys there if you're interested, not only to play but also to get your critique as fellow webgame devs. ? Interested? Come join us! If this sounds at all good to you, you can start your empire here: https://imperialconflict.com/create-empire.php When you're all set, you can then pick your galaxy here: https://imperialconflict.com/join. Milky Way 69 in particular has teams that are looking for new recruits, and everybody loves teaching new players how to play. ? Feel free to ask any questions here if you have them. See ya there!

I have an update for my game that I'd like to share, but don't want it to come off as ad-spammy. What forum category should I put something like that into? It's very much promo, but I'd also be fielding any questions that come up. Thanks.

This sure took a dramatic turn. ? @illusion I don't know you, but I'm glad you're ok!

I had to go back to the light theme. I don't know if it's just because it's the first one I used here, but it just feels more natural to me.

Thanks! Why oh why isn't this also in user settings. ? I'm gonna try Dark here for awhile. It's nice but I was already somewhat used to light. Hard to call it so far. ?
