Subject: stargrunt.com - where for art thou?
I see, much to my horror, stargrunt.com seems to have closed its doors! This is terrible news! (Even if it happened when I wasn't looking). Jed Sadler did so much great work on the site and had some really great pieces posted there. I do hope he can get it up and going again, though it is (no word of a lie) a lot of work to set up and run one of these things. It was an inspiration to me and it was what inspired me to get together with Adrian and start stargrunt.ca. Jed, if you're out there, I'd like to thank you for all your work and if you have any old content you'd like rehosted, let me know... you had some good stuff up there. We've already got Owen sending us TO&Es.... but you had rules and other things. I'd be glad to try to give them a new home. And thanks for all your efforts past! I do hope to see stargrunt.com back on the map sooner rather than later (and if not, if you decide you're going to let the domain lapse, drop me an e-mail beforehand... I don't want it to fall into the hands of some of the unenlightened masses). Anyway, I guess that makes stargrunt.ca a logical hosting place for most groundpounder content (we'll do some FT, but let's be honest - my FT history is checkered....). So, if you have something you'd like to contribute, drop by the site and use our handy feedback form or grab out various e-mail addresses. Drop us an article or contribution in HTML or plain text (we might get templates up someday....). If you want to make life easier, take a look at the somewhat standardized layouts we used and use the same logical breakdown (titles/sections). So far, we've got content from Mr.Rutherford (though he'll have to remind me of the URL...), Los (Rot Hafen), some newbie advice from Laserlight, and TO&Es coming in from Owen G. And me and Adrian's contributions! We're glad to have more articles from people and we'll get them up and posted as expediently as real-life allows. Anyway, back on point.... Mr.Sadler, I'm raising a glass to you here in Ontario, because your work inspired what has followed. Cheers, Mate!
