    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

    Is the league dead or don't you have the time for them anymore?

    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!
