How does jumpgate know of upcoming games? I saw the "not yet open" on StarDock also and have been curious about that. It would appear that advertising a game would still be necessary for opening date/time.

I know in non-truce unlims, and some turn games, if you aren't there at the bang, you might as well not even log into it.

The old style forum allowed for 47 characters to be placed in the subject line. The new forum only allows 41 characters. I'm finding it difficult to accurately describe my game announcements in only 41 characters. Would it be possible to increase the Subject Line Size to 50 characters or more. Also, I noticed that the quick login is difficult to see because the letters are so light colored. Thanks Sage

It would appear that advertising a game would still be necessary for opening date/time. I know in non-truce unlims, and some turn games, if you aren't there at the bang, you might as well not even log into it. That info comes from when we setup the games in the jumpgate server and set the dates for the rebangs and other info on the games, the jumpgate gathers all this information and puts it all in the information it gathers for all to read. It will let you know when a game was banged, its current status, and when it will be rebanged again, if it is on a schedule. And other things as well, I will get with you on that later.

Hmmm I guess those of us SysOp's that don't upgrade will get left behind. I'm not totally sure if I was going to use Jumpgate option because I also host the TradeWars Academy OCS server, and I was not sure if there was a point on listing that server.

You can upgrade the regular server if you want, and leave the Academy server as is. Just a thought.

as long as the Academy server is on a seprate computer all will work well.
