[quote]we are looking to provide some LIMITED hosting space for games from the “Your Games Here” board as well.
…and there are lots of other things happening as well.

Anyone know anything about this? There’s been that vague message on the front page (don’t know how many of you bother to read it :)) for the last 3+ weeks suggesting that something was happening behind the scenes, and now this.

It’s been something like 5 months since anyone on behalf of Sun last spoke to me about hosting for “your games here” so I’m guessing they’ve finally decided to definitely do it all in-house now.

I would have liked to have heard something about it, given that I’m in charge of JGF, and we’re in the middle of a major (and very public) update - it would seem sensible to at least confer with Sun and be able to plan around each other, rather than be forced to act blind.

Chris mentioned something like that recently in this Thread:

LOL yeah, that’s where the quote is from! (and if you click on his name in the quote: text it jumps to that thread)

B3,

This does not in any way impact JGF. We have some extra space on the server we are putting up and will have the ability to allow some content to be dumped there if people don’t have anywhere else to put it. JGF only allows for JWS enabled titles, this may be a place for other content to have a home. Again, this is not a “we are hosting content” thing and are in support of JGF.

Cool. Thanks for clearing that up.

Hey everyone - new front page is up.

Personally, I think it looks much nicer.

Although…someone needs to fix the link for JGF. Should be http://javagamesfactory.org - the current link URL will vanish some time soon

Nicer indeed. I must say I very much await the new forums, the screenshots are awsome… :slight_smile:

Someone should fix the two things about the AgentFX 2.1.1 feature…

The link is wrong-spelled and the game is called “Megacorps Online”.

Sorry about the forums guys…my bad. Just too much to do. I am trying to cooridnate the upgrade and finish moving everything over. hopefully not too much longer.

Sigh
