Which Boards or TWGS do you miss the most and WISH would come back?

Many Choices out there but i would choose 3 ....

1. TheStardock
Stardock was awsome !!!!! Title Games were my favorite!!!!!

2. Fament
In its day this BBS was THE place to play tradewars2002.. Fament hosted many TW webpages for Free!!! (including Boo! inc.)

3. AlienBase
One of my all time favorite places to play Tradewars!! River Rat ran this board perfectly.

Honorable mention
Eclipse,, MPB,,,, Annex

How about you??? What was your favorite place to play ? What do you wish would come back??

I just wish the players would play wherever it may be. I like alienbase and the stardock because they both drew players. No it seems only UTW has any players to speak of and even as many as they have it would have just been a normal turn out for most servers 3 years ago. Silver Wings had 30 or 40 players on at all times and we weren't even the most active server back then.

Right.....................So your Favorite Board/ TWGS to return is?????
I realise you just want players to be more active and play somewhere..... But My thread was asking for peoples opinion of Past places they used to play and who they would like to see return......

I liked Modemmasters, Pinks and Campus Party (In no special order)

I would make a full return if one of them came back and had their cool games up again.

My apologies Big D... Totally missed the sentence the first time..I should learn to read. I agree Both Alienbase and TheStardock ,,BOTH of those boards Drew players... I believe right now that UTW and MTW are both pretty popular ,,I think this may be because of the sysops efforts to promote thier server and offer popular games and settings.,,,Sage and Commander Data both work extremly hard at promoting thier server.,... Over all the game isnt as popular as it once was. But i think it can still enjoy a healthy following.

I enjoyed Vader's server more than most I played on. Used to have good players and good edits. AB was good and the first server I played on when I came back to the game... seems like it was a 5k sector game and maybe 5k turns... slept since then.

Hey SG!

I think I miss Fament the most. Some of my fondest games were played there. It was a game on Fament that my team won against Hosem's team. I couldn't beleive it! The level of players at that time really brought out the best in us all.

Even earlier was PacRim. Gosh, I know he's gonna kill me if he reads this, I forget his handle now. But a player on PacRim offered to give me a Level 4 and I turned him down thinking it was a trap. LOL

Anyhow, Fament was a riot when Boogie was running the games. He really catered to us players and bent over backwards to make sure we had a screeming server to play on. Later on Eje also did a very fine job hosting and running the games there.

Time happens, life happens and as they say, "You can never go home again." I'm just grateful I was there for those games at that time. Many of the old school players came out for those.. Hosem, Monday, Gypsy to name a few. Man did I learn a lot!

I know today I don't have the time to play. Heck, I don't even have a telnet client. I tried to pop into a game recently but didn't have the software to telnet. Darn this XP Pro! If I get telent figured out, I may pop in to visit a game.

In the mean time, keep trading! This is a fantastic game to learn and I'm so glad the old TWGS is still attracting players! I've read some of the developments from Sylien and they are so, so.. oh so VERY WRONG! Keep the game pure!

And whatever you do, stop using AFK bots! I can't hear you screeming when I kill you!
(Muhahahahahaha....)

My answer would have to be the first Server I played on when I rediscovered the Game.
Terra
I do believe it was Phoe6e's board.
I met some peeeps there that became good friends, I learned quick not to enter a Death Match against Res, and Learned I needed TWX to compete...laff

Black Sun was always a good board too.

1. Alienbase.
2. The Stardock.
3. Total Eclipse.

I posted a CLV from Eclipse here a couple years ago - 238 Traders - from 1997. Some certainly dupes, but I knew many of the players:

search.php?keywords=%2Bbalor+%2Bgene&terms=all&author=&sc=1&sf=msgonly&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&st=0&ch=-1&t=0&submit=Search .

OT - I cant access my account here, emails to the admin bounce, anyone got any suggestions?

Space Ghost, the "JR Ewing of TradeWars", fixed my defunct a/c just now. Thanks Bro! Got my name back!
I'll try to be politically correct for a while :)
