Heya! Just figured I'd relay what's going on in the IRC right now.Jenova's apparently deciding to take down BE. He's already taken down every server, but he's leaving the wads up for another 1-2 months, and an archive will be provided. No official mention exists, but people are talking about it in the Zandronum forums. I'm sad to see BE go, but for now, we're faced with an issue-- the largest MM8BDM server host is gone.Our current plan (suggested by Jenova himself) is to migrate to [TSPG]-Painkiller. The hosting service is exactly identical to BE's, with the main difference being server location; TSPG is located in New York, but BE was located in Montreal. We've got a few wads hosted on TSPG already, but I'd suggest everyone check what we haven't uploaded yet and migrate stuff, and, of course, change up links in your thread if you have any content. BE's wads are still up, but not for long.Here's a link to TSPG's site. Of course, other hosting services (like Grandvoid) exist, but I think this is our best bet.

Musashi: I completely agree with you and imo it was a rash decision on my part because of my unpleasant dealings with certain members of the Zandronum community. I've re-enabled only-Megaman hosting for now.The way I view the megaman community is not as a subcommunity of Zandronum but rather a completely separate beast from them. I understand this change will anger a lot of good genuine non-megaman server hosts, so I'm also considering a sort of whitelist (still up for discussion) for general doom server hosts.
