Re: New name for Freeciv

The word " mundi " is generally not understandable by anglophones. I owned the domain name freeciv-mundi.org for over a year, and I had to change it to civland.org right because users were unable to understand and remember it. Mundi was understandable only by spanish, portuguese and italia...

Re: Is this dude selling a free game?

Yes, no offence intended. I for myself always pay attention to the use of the lowercase 'c'. However I believe that 'FreeCiv' better suggests the analogy with the commercial Civilizaton to the newcomer. Edit: The copyright notice shown in the sleeve can be removed from the integral XCF by shadowing ...

Re: Is this dude selling a free game?

Taking apart rational and sentimental contemplations whether reselling GPL-ed software is a good or bad thing, I take the opportunity to publish here some marketing material I made the last year. This comprises a gfx CD sleeve, a printable booklet, and a CD serigraphy. Edit: Material removed from th...

Re: Greatturn censored

Hi Jacob, thanks for attention. When the blockage occurred, connections from my server's IP address directed to *.freeciv.org (meta, forum, ...) where rejected with no answer from the webserver. At the same time, connections from different IP addresses were allowed and correctly worked. My server's ...

Re: Greatturn censored

Sorry, I haven't been clear.
I mean IP-level blocking of any connection directed to port 80 of *.freeciv.org.

This probably has been a mistake so only the guy who applied the filter knows.

Greatturn censored

Greatturn has been censored from metaserver.
I've been able to change it's IP address.
I hope this was a mistake.

Be wiser next time.

Re: Freeciv forum relaunch

Hi, new Freeciv forum! In March 2012 this forum suddenly disappeared. After a few weeks there was still no information at all about what had happened and the situation was clear to be unrecoverable. After about a month I decided it was time for me to roll up my sleeves and dedicate time and the litt...
