Its kind of ironic. The Shivan encounter at Ross128 that started The Great War and captivated so many of us as we watched the first rendered sequence for Descent: FreeSpace. The website, Ross128, being a long time community website, that will forever be remember in the annals of our communities history, is now gone. This is what Inquisitor had to say:

For the last 2 years, you have faithfully returned to this space, and, for the most part, we have rewarded that with news and reviews of the Freespace community at large. Sadly, Ross 128 looks to be following in the footsteps of its namesake. For the most part, the content and staff of Ross 128 will be moving to Hard Light Productions, where Thunder and the the rest of the HLP crew have promised to keep you entertained with the same quality material that you expect.

This means that all of the hosted sites, all of the features, basically all of everything (Except me, BlueFlames and his "Scorched Lore" and Maniax) is now part and parcel of HLP. BlueFlames' and his "Lore" will find a home at the Shattered Star Confederation which has grown from a gaming clan into a vibrant gaming community, boasting hundreds of registered members, spanning game genre's and even expanding beyond games. Look for interesting things from the SSC as well.

It has been one helluva ride. Thanks a million! See you outside Capella, and remember Ross 128!

Although Ross128 wasn't the high profile Descent Chronicles or Ground FreeSpace, it definately was a stalwart site that you always expected to be there. Inquisitor has a little more to say over at Ross128 about how the remaining content of the site will be moved to Hard Light Productions as well as various other pieces of information. Inquisitor and the rest of the Ross128 team, we salute you!
