beyond protocol and star alliances are now open source(courtesy of bluesnews)http://www.bluesnews.com/s/121360/open-source-beyond-protocol-and-star-alliances

Did beyond protocol game servers and website go down? When I last checked they were still running and taking subscribers a few months ago. Think that disclosure will prevent a reliable host from ever taking up this project because your not allowed to make a profit. Unless you can show all money earned from the game is for operating costs of the server?

I have always wanted to try this game out because it looked fun and never got around to it. Hopefully someone will put a server together so people can try the game out.

*Waveshiii.im cyrus, i want to revitilize this game, but i dont possess, the nessary skills to bring about the change the game needs. its written in visual basic, and i dont know visual basic, id love to get a BP server up, currently just a Star Alliances server is up ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/beyondprotocol/forums/forum/1767772/topic/4547333 ), courtesy of sir Paradox. BP one is taking a while. most of the forum admins are busy people in RL and dont have a bunch of time for the side projects.anyway i wrote up a paper for a game that is similar to BP, but different enough to be an entirely new game. id prolly sugest just rewriting a game based off of it. none of that non profit license stuff to worry bout. i dont possess the nessary skills to actually do it though. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cKAS4WdWteZ10w7hurw0Lf0O5OSrmF5atUo3ct6ITgg/edit?hl=en_US&authkey=CIya8dEB anyone interested in a colalb?
