PlanetsCentral

Hi everyone,

you may have noticed that there has been little progress in functionality on PlanetsCentral during the last year. OK, we got a nice new skin. But otherwise, everything still works the same.

The reason is that updating the software is not fun when people depend on it. We've already had the host server doing unintended host runs when I did something wrong. Thus I spent the last months refactoring the software to make it testable and still working it on making it easily deployable.

During the next weeks, I will upgrade all services. Maybe it doesn't go seamlessly, and upgrading the filer/operating system will eventually require a pause. However, this will finally make it possible to add new features I have been promising you for ages: anonymous games, more add-ons, smaller games, better forecasts.

And if anyone is interested in reading the forum with a NNTP newsreader such as Thunderbird, I can even offer that.
