It's happened again

This is a warning to all SSP.com and possibly RedArmageddon.com users, while trying to view the forums on either site after login, Avast declares an Iframe Trojan. It detects as follows:

5/26/2009 9:09:40 PM SYSTEM 1444 Sign of "HTML:IFrame-EJ [Trj]" has been found in "http://www.starsiegeplayers.com/modules.php?name=Forums" file.

If you are using firefox with no script you may notice a about:blocked segment, a site with a .kmz or .info registry TLD, none of these are affilated with Starsiege Players.com and you should avoid going there. Recommend all users run virus and malware scans, and I've dispatched the alert to Butterbean, again. Not sure why this happened so soon, and I know I am not the only one frustrated, but we shall get her fixed.

Yeah, yeah the witch is dead!

Well, we had a bit of a scare there didn't we. Suffice it to say we believe it was some bad code or backup from our host that resulted in some of the malware that was infecting the forums.

A great thank you to the site Owner, Butterbean for stepping in and restoring us back to working shape. Also thank you to those who helped spread the word why I tried to track him down, and those who have helped in other ways.

So without further adieu the forums are opened again, please spread the word.

Guess not much happened here since the death of SS2845. At least Starsiege isn't dead. Yup, that's right, after 10 years Starsiege is still alive, though, not surprisingly, there aren't many players left.

After everything the comunity and the game has been though, Starsiege still caries on. But only thanks to the few devoted fans who kept the game alive, Mercyfulfate who hosted a master for several months and Eye who is hosting the master server now.

We at SSP and the remaining players of Starsiege want to ask every remaining fan who has stopped playing to come back and help keep Starsiege alive for more years to come. The current Master Needed to play Starsiege

From the ClanCore Boards:

Let me preface this by saying this is NOT a late April fools day joke.

After much discussion with various people on the staff, and looking at potential timelines and where we currently are, Tsa and I (being the primary legal agreement contacts with VU) have made the difficult decision that it's time to put a bullet in this project and move on. This month (April) will mark 4 solid years of time and substantial monetary investment that he and I and a bunch of other people have into the project, and as we're looking at at least another years worth of development with questionable outcome, we've decided the game has reached the point of diminishing returns and it's time to say good night gracie.

Well it is that time of the year again, that's right its "March Madness". I was thinking that it would be neat to see who in the SSP.com community can pick em best. I've setup a NCAA Bracket Group on ESPN's site to this end. (Note: Registration and login is required to play.)

If interested go Here fill out your bracket and lets see who wins ;)

Not sure if you can see others final four on there or not.

Going to be a good year for 2 1 seeds to make it I think. May the best StarsiegePlayer win.

Thanks to Butterbean giving me access, I have updated some of the bad links reported in our downloads section. A few submitted links have also been approved for general consumption. I will be keeping a tab on this on a weekly basis, so if you have a Starsiege site, download, or such to please submit them to us.
