FreeOrion

Hi,

Back in March 2003 I first asked if people wanted to help create an open source modern game like MOO2. I received far more responses than I expected, and this project was born.

Unfortunately, I think that original announcement is lost. It was posted on the moo3 forums here:
http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/fo ... orumid=224

Does anyone stiill have a working link to the original thread, or a copy of that announcement I made. I think it would be good to keep a copy of it on the wiki or somewhere, for historical reasons.

It's not this post, is it?:

Nope that was made later. I estimate that the original post was made between the dates of March 1st- 6th, 2003. I think that post was after FreeOrion had started, when we were exploring options of what to do.

In fact, there's a link to another thread in that thread that may be it - but it says it is deleted, probably because it broke the rules.

I believe the Atari forums deleted old posts as I have a few that are also now gone. Kind of stupid in my opinion.
