    From Avon@21:1/101 to All on Fri Jul 11 17:00:12 2025
    Hi all

    I have stopped the processing of BRE, For Honour (FH) and Galactic Dynasty (GD) games at the 21:1/10 Usenet and Games HUB.

    The games scores and information have been removed from fsxnet.nz

    Systems still sending BRE, FH and GD packets to 21:1/10 will find they are accepted but then not processed, nor will the HUB send updated packets out to those nodes..

    So in sum, please disable the inter-BBS games files sent to 21:1/10 from your BBS if you have been active in the Zone 21 league.

    Thanks for your help :)

    Best, Paul

    I imagine if you have/had a lot of links for the interbbs games, it'll take a long while to filter that out. I think I took my games offline 10+ years ago, and just this year finally stopped the hourly cronjob script that deleted all of those files if they existed. I probably kept it running longer than I needed to, but it wasn't harming anything here, so I kept it. ;)

    Regards,
    Nick

    I thought I saw a message from Avon that he was taking the league games down temporarily? Check your archives, it was maybe a week ago?

    Someone quoted that in another message so I see that now.

    I also somehow missed the info that the usenet gate was sunsetting. Thinking maybe I missed some messages. Thanks!

    There has been some activity but my personal circumstances mean I am time poor and the effort vs reward of running it is not there for me. I need to simplify things in my life a bit at present so have shuttered it.

    There were a number of nodes that would seek to set up, and either never did after I had set up my end, or ran things for a while then would leave an not advise their node had left etc.. so admin joys to keep on top of etc etc.

    So in short no it was not dead but it equally came to a point where my view was (at present) it was not worth continuing it.

    I may seek to restart it down the track.
