Starting within the next few days, I’ll be running ping tests all day long to determine if my ISP is still fast enough to host a TWGS. If the pings are too slow, no BBS. I’ll keep people updated.

** updates in this thread.

Holy cow, nothing to report. So to hell with it, let’s do some off-topic.

I’m real big into the gym right now. Unlike past experiences with the House of Pain, there is definetely something different, something deep down, driving me this time…

I don’t want to die young from being a lazy ass.

So if you have any experience in muscle building or weight loss, drop a note in my thread.

It seems to me that Tradewars has to have the most confusing community outside of the one where people dress up as animated characters. For instance, this page is called “The Home Sector” yet the address is thestardock.com. When this site was still running it’s own tradewars server, it was called “The Stardock”. Common sense would usually dictate that if you had a website running a server, you would probably name it after the website. Then again if you’re an employee for pollstar, you probably don’t have an IQ up there with Stephen Hawking.

Then there’s the acronymns. Let’s see how many I can remember just off the top of my head: TWGS, TW, TW2002 TW:G, TWH, TWX, TW:DM, HS, SD, CF, ISS, SWATH, ATAC, USO, SST, SSD, PT, TWAR, ZOC, EIS, JP, DE, HHT, BOTE, WTC, and J-TWAT. The last one is actually a helper and not a porn site. Regardless, if you can do a search for it in google without getting a site that involves carnal gymnastics, you’ll have my admiration until you realize what a waste of time that was.

Want more? I write for this website and also that other one you might have heard of. Heck, I’ve even been a part of this community so long I can’t figure out if I should called myself Mana Knight or “MK”. I mean, MK is just so much more cool and sexy then the full version. Maybe I should just do the same to my real name and have people call me “JG.” Yea, they’ll say “JG, what’s up!” and I’ll just point to them and nod.

Is it any wonder why we get so few new people playing this game?

[Forum]: I like, totally disagree with you! J-TWAT really is refering to porn!

Silver Dragon states: “The USO is going well. A few players have died from STD’s, but the orgies are still going 24/7! “

Well thanks for that update, Silver. Now get your hands off my ass.

Noooo!!!!!!

Did you like Mr. Rogers like I did?

Am I going to have to CREATE news to post news? Isn’t anyone doing anything exciting? I’m starting to think I should post lots of Off-Topic just to keep this page pumping.

Well?

And Tweety is a bad ass. Anyone willing to disagree?

Home base, EIS, has made a serious upgrade to their forums. It also looks like John Pritchett is back into developing the TWGS. That’s great. Seems he was “away” as long as I was, because the TWGS has increased just .01 version numbers since I left in late 2001.

Want to see just how big the difference is between your old AMD K6 and a newer Athlon? You can’t beat this guide over at Tom’s Hardware. It’s a huge but great read.

Timberwolf was going to close down his site, now it appears he is not. PlanetTW now is suddenly closing down instead.

If anyone should close down, it should be Boo! Inc. until Space Ghost stops offending my visual senses with his fonts and my audio senses with that opening wave file, that never fails to catch me off guard at work.

It’s been a slow news week at The Home Sector. I guess I forgot to mention that the USO was
moved back to the 23rd. Not that many cared.
