Thanks to ellis, we have a new domain name and server https://tekagis.ca

Why?

1) This domain and site are registered to C (i believe) who is AWOL, how long he will continue paying the bills to keep the lights on is unknown. We don't want you people left in the dark when that happens.

 

2) The new site is hosted on a virtual server, giving us much more flexibility on what we can do with it.

 

For example we now have valid SSL certificates for connecting using https, and we can directly tie the webserver into the FL server allowing for website checking of who's in game, as well as being able to access things like your character stats, ship garage, storage and markets directly from the site.

 

Zero's put a lot of hard work into the new sites layout and style (which i then smashed with a hammer to make fit - sorry Z), so big thanks to him too.

 

We're not moving over yet, there's still a lot of work to do over there, and this place has a lot of history we don't want to lose. Hopefully at some point we can get access to the database to port it all over to the new forums.

 

Some things will be moved to the new server immediately: our update server is now hosted there (has been for a while), all future download links will point there, and we now have a IRC server hosted there (server: tekagis.ca, channel: #tekagis) which it will also be tied into the game server like how tekagisbot does skype.

A basic server status page is now live on the new server, showing online players and last player logins, logoffs, and deaths....time stamps are even adjusted to your forum account settings (if you have one on the new forums).

More features coming....
