Does anyone know of any active Thost sites anymore?

I don't, but may I ask what part of THost is it you wish to play?

Adding THost support is very low priority for me currently (but not zero priority!). Actually, running it isn't so much of a problem, but integrating it is more work. For example, it doesn't have a turn checker. I do have a replacement for that but it's not at the same level PHost's turn checker is.

The other issue would be integrating add-ons. This is currently scripted around Linux shell scripts, which don't work with THost on DOS obviously. (Actually, I even got provided a THost source port that would run natively on Linux, which would solve that, but has many other issues.)

AutoTroll had a trn checker. Besides NAVGAP, I mostly played on AutoTroll sites so I know I'd always get a message saying my turn was good.
