Since Stars! AutoHost is now donation supported (see link), someone asked for a donation list. I don't think that means I should list who donated what amount, but I can list the current donation balance, the monthly needed amount to keep Stars! AutoHost running, and the VPS hosting contract expiration date.

The monthly amount needed is 9.66 (was $8.81). This includes the hosting charge of $7.83 (was $6.99) / month, and the $44 / 2years domain name and proxy registration charge.

Those of Lieutenant rank or higher can now have an avatar displayed under their rank graphic on their posts. Go to your Profile, browse your local HD for a graphic of at most 72x72 pixels, then click the Preview button, then Update.

All avatars must pass through an approval process.

Change in policy regarding hosting 2 player games on Stars! AutoHost:

I will allow duels to be hosted on Stars! AutoHost if there has been an accusation of cheating and the game is genned from a .def file by a trusted 3rd-party (using a random seed picked by the 3rd-party).

There is a known bug in Tree view in this version (2.3.5) of the forum software. In Tree view mode, not all replies will be seen until the thread root message is first opened.

Personally, I use the top selection in my profile option "Flat View message and Thread listing".

FAQ/General/Rank FAQ has been updated to clarify my policy on rank point assignment and because of the recent registration of a few high-profile Stars! community contributers.

(at this time: Barry Kearns and Ian Smith)

Polls in 'Private forums' that require a password to post, can be voted in by anyone, no posting password required. While I don't agree with the way it works, the forum software author did suggest a way around it, but its a lot more work for that game's host...

The software allows me to designate 'forum leaders'. The leaders can assign permissions on a per-user basis for access in that forum. The permissions include 'Vote'. So, the default permission would be 'no vote', and the forum leader could add all his/her players manually to the forum, and turn on 'vote' permission for each of them. A lot more work...

Anyway, if any of you game hosts with private forums want me to do this, just PM me.
