I just got the email:

Hello,
Hello to all users at Coastgames.com.

It has been a great pleasure being a sysop for many years. But after 4
years it saddens me to say that coastgames.com is shutting down. I no
longer have the desire or ambition to run a tradewars server and if I
keep it going the way it is I will only anger people and make myself feel
worse due to not being able to dedicate myself to it..

Effective immediately all games will be closed to new entries and the
server will go down very shortly.

Thanks to all the support I have had for the past 4 years and thank you
very much to The Reverend for stepping up and helping me when I needed
it.

The web site and all its subdomain will stay up. The coastgames.com
domain is not ending just the tradewars part of it.

I wonder if that means the Tradewars game edit files will be going away as well? Someone want to download them and create a mirror just in case?

if I understood it correctly, the website end would stay up for now. Just the TWGS was dead.

The way I interprit it, it says the Tradewars part of Coastgames.com will be ending. That might mean the files and web pages for Tradewars too.

Shorty, thanks for grabbing the files. I grabbed some too just in case. If I get some free-time (hah!) I might put up a Tradewars web page. I'll add it to my to-do list of things I might do should I ever get any free-time. :)

I got a test page up at http://normad.8m.net/orion/ and my TW page is under construction at http://normad.8m.net/orion/tw/ my Normad.com domain name is down until I can find a better host. I hosted it on my machine but my ISP was blocking server protocols for my Dyamic IP DSL access. Thanks to TW55 for the banners.

Hrrrmmpphhh, those games exceed my file size limits on the server. But at least I can post TW info on my page.

I also have a copy of the files and I am adding them, and some other twa files as well. Anyone that wants to share any edits I will be glad to make them available on my web site too.
