Is the Stars! community dying? I was gone for a few months and there seem to be less and less posts here. Newsgroups shrunk. Websites disappeared. etc. etc. etc....

I see there are new members, but did they buy Stars! or did they inherit their packages from dying Stars! relatives. Salvage from burnt houses and sunken ships? Surely every Stars! player has left his prize CD in his will?

Can you still purchase serial numbers? The threads posted here seem to be old and outdated too.

Will there ever be a Stars! replacement or upgrade or anything to help revive it and restore it to its once great elite status.

That brings to mind my first space game... when was it... back in 1999 or around there... when I first searched the internet for a space strategy game to replace my all-time favorite. I remembered playing the game Elite, which I had also become very fond of, until my Commodore and Atari ST systems went their way and the PC world invaded me. Elite also had a wide following in its time. This search is how I ran across the Stars! game.

Elite. Anyone remember that. Last time I searched it still has a wide following. Something like a million downloads. Yikes! How would you like to sell those for $5.00 a pop.

Ah, those good ole days. I don't know. I may have told this story before. At my age, sonny, you never know, you never know for sure. If it was more than a couple of weeks ago, this could be true. There comes a time when you have to keep a joke list so you can remember what decade you told what to whom.

AND WHAT'S WITH this AutoHost site? It has turned foreign. Look at the moderators: Micha, Madam Ashlyn, Donjon, EDog. The whole damn place is run by foreign peoples. Rolling Eyes
