|
February 1st, 2007: Today we counted above 32,000 hits since September 2000 (only counting user hits at the main page of Spacecraft Portal - I'm not like some other big sites which are counting all hits on every page together - well, doing so is very lame... I never believe that those sites have 100,000 single hits each year... very ridiculous!)! |
|
January 15th, 2007: Since many months I observed low interest in VGAP games at my site. Also I found out that a group of american players tried to disturb my good host services. Rumors has it that they were ordered by another big host site for UNsupporting other host sites... very lame behavior! Ridiculous big hoster! |

|
July 28th, 2006: Some ranking and medal graphics changed. Was a need! Looking better now! |
|
July 10th, 2006: And again a PHCc update - now to version 4.23 (Darkstar). I hope the newest version has no more expiration date check. Thanks to Bernd Ruf for his help and support. |
|
July 7th, 2006: PHCc is now expired. The test of my total backup shows me that the Everquest version is expired. Luckily I'm running PHCc without ending PHCc and I'm able to host the games the next few days. But Bernd doesn't respond to my eMails. Does anybody have a hint? |
|
June 27th, 2006: PHCc is going to be expired soon... again!!! The update of 2003 is not as good as I thought. Hmmm... and I get no feedback from Bernd. Hmmmm... |
|
May 2nd, 2006: And today we counted above 29,000 hits since September 2000 (only counting user hits at the main page of Spacecraft Portal)! |
|
February 8th, 2006: Ah, well - today the counter have above 28,000 hits since 2000 (only counting user hits at the main page of Spacecraft Portal)! |

|
April 9th, 2005: 24,000 guests (only first contacts counted) visited this site since 2000! |
|
February 15th, 2005: The last few days I worked on HTML code of this site. The improvement of this site consumes some of my time. But I have to work on the site because it's not very up-to-date. The menu was an important part of my work - when you see it you will know what I mean... I hope that most players haven't trouble in using my re-designed site... ;) |
|
February 6th, 2005: Changing to a new award system for special campaigns... The award and title was until now: Emperor of the Milkyway. Then it has been changed to the current award system: Emperor of the (special name). The idea of the old award system was to have a group of players with the same skill. Michael Nielsen wrote me a message and a suggestion for a better system. So I agreed to his suggestion - only given a title ONCE a time to ONE player. The title may change from time to time. But it is an award for the winner. I think you will like it... |
|
January 13th, 2005: A new visitor record: 23,000 guests were counted by this site since 2000! |
|
January 9th, 2005: For better reading I've changed the HTML code - when using bright backgrounds text will be shown in a table with a darker background. ;) Also Tavern overworked: now players can send public questions, articles or discussion stuff to me and I will make them public as soon as possible (just a kind of a small forum). |
|
January 3rd, 2005: Next hyperjump to the year of 2005 done!!! We'll go on, Planeteer! |
|
December 12th, 2004: It seems to me that the moving to the new space has no further problems. All is working fine... even the counter. |
|
December 5th, 2004: Just working on a new web space. Site will move to a new server. |
|
November 27th, 2004: Now 22,000 guests have visit this site! |
|
October 26th, 2004: Web site menus reworked. Info-Deck deleted, Main-Deck gets more info, Tavern-Deck is now the player's recovery site... ;) |
|
September 30th, 2004: First SPA game offered - this time for VGAP4. |
|
September 23rd, 2004: Today there were 21,000 guests visiting this site since September 2000! |
|
September 14th, 2003: Some web pages reworked... Spacecraft Portal Academy (Spacecraft Academy or shortly SPA) founded. More news will follow... |
|
September 1st, 2004: WHOW! This site has done its service since more than four years!!! Just a big party here!!! |
|
July 18th, 2004: Today this site counts 20,000 visitors since September 2000! |
|
July 14th, 2004: Just some web pages reworked. Latest update of rule page (containing all rules now). |
|
May 16th, 2004: Web site totally overworked. Now using dirs for better editing many web sites and styles etc. ... |
|
May 12th, 2004: Yesterday and today I watched a virus attack against my eMail addresses. I got several eMails with dangerous contents but they are blocked! Who sent such strange things? - It seems that a careless user have an virus-infected system and the virus/worm tried to infect other system via an address-list. The real danger come from the address-list because the virus/worm misused the contents as a sender's address. But the address is not really true - it's totally spoofed! If somebody watched that my eMail address was used for sending a virus or a worm please contact me. But believe me - I'm NOT the sender! Otherwise it is possible that a well-known user (I know him because he tried to damage my system via virus attacks in the past and to destroy my good reputation, too) with a psychotic behaviour and paranoid-schizophrenic illness is the sender behind these attacks... |
|
May 10th, 2004: Most web page working finished! Also today 19,000 visitors were counted! |
|
May 7th, 2004: Again I was working on the game pages and the Tavern. Now some pages deleted, the News added, and the Tavern got a face-lifting... |
|
May 5th, 2004: I'm back - most things running fine. I can upload web pages via FTP and get full eMail control an my new address. Only the counter must be fixed... But that is not a big problem - whow, I'm back!!! |
|
May 4th, 2004: My ISP informed me that my web site will move to another server. Also I've to set new internal eMail addresses by myself etc. During the move I can't update web pages via FTP and I would have the problem of getting eMails twice etc. The move should be finished within 24 hours... |
|
May 3th, 2004: New host rule for starting games integrated: fast game option. - This means: if all TRN files are my autohost PHCc will run an additional host. The main rule of 2 host each week (Mo/Th) will still exist! But you can have extra host runs in a week when the players fast enough to send back their TRN files in time... ;) |
|
May 2nd, 2004: SpaceLord batch files rewritten. Now they can handle the computer player SpaceLord much better because PHCc can't support him really good... If a player missed 3 turns in a row the SpaceLord will now overtake a race (like the CPlayer via PHCc will do). And he will play a race without delay when the race slot is open... |
|
April 3rd, 2004: Yesterday I've heard about the rumor that Tim will finish his Planets 4.0 software. Well, this would be very nice... Today I've updated my Planets version to: v4.000.164 for hosting service, v4.000.052 as the newest Planets client. Also a big questionaire done! We have had nice feedback... |
|
March 17th, 2004: Today 18,000 guests have visit this site! |
|
February 18th, 2004: Well, some nice work to do... web page face-lifting etc. done... ;) some new gfx added... |
|
February 16th, 2004: Needed work on web pages done. Site looks pretty good. |
|
January 24th, 2004: Now 17,000 guests have visit this site! Very nice! |
|
January 12th, 2004: Only a nice story added to the history - for a complete proof for something... hehehehe... |
|
January 3rd, 2004: Whow! We've time-warped to the year of 2004!!! Well, the Omega is with you, Planeteer! Some web pages reworked (must be done!). And I'm creating a lot of new games for this year! |
|
November 30th, 2003: Reworking of the site - updating host versions info, host orders and pages of the games. |
|
November 8th, 2003: Again a new counter mark - 16,000 visitors counted at my site since September 1st, 2000! Whow!!! |
|
October 4th, 2003: And again a PHCc update - now to version 4.23 (Everquest). It seems to me that Bernd Ruf's PHCc had a small but important problem: the Moonshadow version was expired after a year of using. I hope the newest version has no more expiration date check. But we will see... |
|
September 18th, 2003: The same curious problems occured again. The same player had problems in sending back TRN files (they arrived at my ISP after many, many hours!!! |
|
September 1st, 2003: WHOW! This site has done its service since more than three years!!! Super! Funny big party here!!! |
|
August 29th, 2003: Some curious problems occured. One player had a problem to send his TRN files back to me in time. |
|
August 28th, 2003: Now the site counts 15,000 visitors! Well done! |
|
July 24th, 2003: The Tavern section is now renewed. I've done it because the site has some changes in the game's season section etc. Also the game pages reworked... |
|
June 21st, 2003: A lot of applause: the counter hit the 14,000 visitor mark! |
|
June 8th, 2003: The section Info-Deck at my web site needed a rework. It's now done. Nice to see a better rules' page and the pages about the VGAP races. The section is still not really finished - but a little bit better... ;) |
|
May 22nd, 2003: I'm still loging a word-war at STC's VPL-Mailinglist about o.b.'s discussion. Since I'm not answering to any lie or unproven statement from Mr. so-called self-made-expert o.b. I'm laughing about the style of his conversation. He drives other crazy like me. This remembered me about an attempt of o.b. at a LUG group in germany at the beginning of this year - the Admin of this group stopped another one of o.b.'s unfriendly 'blablabla'... hehehe... as I know... he can't stop his unfriendly behavior - BUT he explained x-times in the past that he is talking friendly and the others are unfriendly (so seen at his VGAP-93-Group)... Oh-oh, who can believe him now??? ... |
|
May 11th, 2003: Another needed work on my web pages... New: review of host versions, changed rules etc. Also seen o.b. next 'mobbing' attack against me and my site. This is the very last time I've tolerated his UNFRIENDLY behavior. It is o.b. - he can't stop his bad behavior because he has no self-control... To make a private thing public and then taking it to the v4 community shows his own incompetence. The v4 community has nothing to do with private things!!! Also it is NONSENSE and has no logic! |
|
May 7th, 2003: Mr. o.b. can't stop his ALWAYS private word-war. Now it seems he wants to make a new discussion at the STC's VPL-Mailinglist about an very old topic of 'cheating in v4 scripts' etc.. And it seems to ME that this is another sort of being an ALL-TIME-DOGMATIST with bringing up old (lost!) discussions without a real reason AND UNPROVEN explanations... |
|
April 26th, 2003: Today 13,000 guests have visited this site! |
|
April 17th, 2003: This day the move of the web site has been finished. All data are at the new domain! And it works fine!!! |
|
April 14th, 2003: Today I'm working very hard on the transfer to the new web space. Well, the good old known home site will be for a while still available at http://home.t-online.de/home/spacecraft.portal - but not for a long time... After moving my site to the new web space there will be a link for all non-readers of you... hehehe... ;) Well, the # of visitors will be overtaken to the new site. But this would be expectable... ;) |
|
April 10th, 2003: THIS IS AN IMPORTANT DAY FOR ME! THIS IS THE DAY I'VE CHANGED MY MIND ABOUT A DOMAIN LEVEL FOR MY SITE! Also I want more web space and more eMail data traffic since I'm having problems with my old home site... I'm glad to announce now WWW.SPACECRAFT-PORTAL.DE as my new web site as domain level. - Well, this is an important day for me! |
|
March 31st, 2003: My ISP has changed some rules for their customers. One of these rules affects the size of homepages. So I must remove some files to match the rules. |
|
February 19th, 2003: Now 12,000 guests have visited this site! |
|
February 1st, 2003: Some webpages reworked. New games offering... |
|
January 13th, 2003: o.b.'s newest strike offense has begone. Now he is talking about that he must leave a game because two players has equal reg. no. and the host must know it blablabla. His conclusion that the host might be it himself is the strangest exclamation ever seen at this site. Because he is real UNexperienced with Planets and hosting P4 TODAY (I mean our newest time and NOT the past long time ago!) he tries to blame others when he lost a game... ohhh, HOW LAME IS THIS BEHAVIOR! All we can see now: it's another kind of his ALL-TIME-DOGMATISM... |
|
January 3rd, 2003: Yeah, happy New Year! We've warped to the year of 2003!!! Again, SPACECRAFT PORTAL is with you, Planeteer! |
|
December 16th, 2002: And today the counter showed 11,000 visitors! |
|
December 9th, 2002: Changing to host version 4.000.116 (after voting)! |
|
December 2nd, 2002: Some changes done for the games list link. Boban has given me some helpful suggestions. Thanks to Boban! |
|
November 13th,2002: First recorded virus attack against my site. ONE player sent a virus influenced eMail with the aim to crash my site support. The person is now marked as a hostile eMailer and will be hunted soon. |
|
November 4th, 2002: Since o.b. 'mourned' the loss of two TRN's for ONE host each game he tried to tell all players he had sent his TRN's but without any evidence. Hehe... because he never had them!!! He is the ONLY player here with 'ALL-TIME-MOANING'. I can't remember of other players doing so in the last two years... AND it seems to me that o.b. wanted 'hard' rules for the other players when he has an advantage - AND he cries lout out when the rules against him. Period. Not good for a so-called experienced player and 'long-time-ago-host' like him... |
|
November 1st, 2002: o.b.'s TRN file didn't come in so we host NOW because it's a rule (and it's a rule that o.b. wanted since July for the games...). |
|
October 31th, 2002: Normally I didn't log activities like this but because o.b. is 'mourning' via eMail I do it now for protocol. - Since o.b. and another players didn't send back their TRNs for two VGAP4 games one of them must be delayed. |
|
October 26th, 2002: WHOOOOOWWW!!! Today we hit the counter mark of 10,000! WELL, 10,000 visitors!!! :))) |
|
October 23th, 2002: YAHOO! group 'VGAP-93' visited! o.b. offends my site and me. And it seems he doesn't stop this... What an 'competent' group! I was remembered of the years 1995 and 1997. But now this is his very last fault... |
|
October 14th, 2002: And again a PHCc update - now to version 4.23 (Moonshadow). It seems Bernd Ruf has some problems with his code... ;) But he has exclaimed that the registrations code has been changed... |
|
October 13th, 2002: Voting for a solution for our VGAP4 host problem closed. Result sent to the players, switching to host v4.000.113! |
|
October 9th, 2002: Problems with the VGAP4 host program (v4.000.114). Voting started! |
|

|
October 1st, 2002: PHCc update to version 4.21 (Orion), a try-out-step. |
|
September 12th, 2002: And today we hit the counter mark 9,000! |
|
September 1st, 2002: WHOW! This site has done its service since more than two years!!! Super! We have a great party here!!! And also... ...CONGRATULATION!!! We are "Site Of The Month" (September 2002)! I want to thank you all for supporting!!! And... ...today our 2nd big season game "Imperial Wars II" begins! What a great day!!! |
|
July 31th, 2002: Today we hit the counter mark 8,000! |
|
July 29th, 2002: The support of the VGAP-93-Group sucks. o.b. doesn't respond to any eMail I've sent him. My IMPORTANT last messages weren't spreaded to the members. The VGAP-93-Group is a real disappointment! I'll close support via this group (even supporting a group which kicks me (the host master) in the butt when I has to correct some lies above the host service)! THIS WAS THE LAST TIME I ALLOWED OLIVER (KNOWN AS o.b.) TO BACKSTAB ME BUT HIS ALL-TIME-MOANING THAT 'THE OTHERS ARE BACKSTABBERS'. Folks! Believe me - it isn't possible to discuss with Oliver in peace because he turns around your words and offends you whenever he could see a chance to kick you in the butt. - It's his ALL-TIME-DOGMATISM! That's what some players (they had left the site) have confirmed, yet. Here now for all: I'M NOT THE LIST OPERATOR OF THE VGAP-93-GROUP. I'M NOT IN CHARGE OF THE EMAILS AND THEIR CONTENTS (COMING FROM THIS GROUP). Oliver/o.b. is RESPONSIBLE for the VGAP-93-Group. That's all I've to say. |
|
July 22th, 2002: Updating P4 host files to v4.000.112. Some problems caused the PHCc host to ran very late. o.b. starts word-war via the group. |
|
July 12th, 2002: Updating P4 host files to v4.000.111. |
|
June 14th, 2002: Whow, 7,000 visitors since September 1st, 2000!!! |
|
June 24th, 2002: o.b. spread an eMail with the topic 'Anyone using Outlook here?' via the VGAP-93-Group. The attachement had the name 'I love you'. Well, what a bad joke about that evil virus from Mr. 'Competent' o.b.. For sending this eMail not he but I were in some trouble because some members of the VGAP-93-Group thought I was the sender. This was o.b.'s next step to bring me trouble - but he 'has nothing to do with it'... well, who should believe o.b., yet??? |
|
June 9th, 2002: PHCc update to version 4.21 (Phenomenon). Web site pages updated, too... |

October 25th, 2001: o.b. spreaded an unfriedly eMail via the VGAP-93-Group - 'the host (me!) sat in jail' as he exclaimed. At this time I haven't any chance to correct the content of his eMail. o.b.'s newest backstab attempt! One eMail later he explained 'WAAAAH SORRY HAAHHAH' and that I wasn't in jail but in hospital. Whow! Who should believe this with that topic of laughing??? |

|
December 30th, 2000: Some minor changes done to my web pages. The first game ends today - "At The Beginning". It's a test game, yes, but it is exciting to visit the work of the c-player (if no human engage the scenario...). ;) |

|
October 22nd, 2000: Baby Woojums alias Grant Horne has given me a great hint - I was surprised to forget building ship lists and had problems with explosions in the Neutral Zone. Some of them solved... |
|
October 18th, 2000: First contact to a host site at the other side from our earth - SURFIE's SPACE SKIRMISHES. Surfie alias Cameron Percival is another *new* PHCc host master... Now updating the PHCc software to v4.10 (Einstein). |
|
October 14th, 2000: Meeting with o.b. - subjects: VGAP, Hosts, Internet, eMail, BBS, computer systems Win vs. Linux etc. At the same evening HE told me that the old problems (like offending, blablabla etc.) are forgotten. Hmmmm, that sounds good to me... Should he have a 2nd chance??? |
|
October 8th, 2000: New REAL game setup "Deep Space Discovery" - game delayed because not all big races have a leader. The host runs daily. This game is the favorite great game (has many turns). Bernd has offered his next release of PHCc: v4.09 (Hummingbird). The LAN functions are renewed. Thanks Bernd! |
|
October 1st, 2000: New TEST game setup. I plan to run test games for three months with different computer players (C-Player). CPlayer (the original from Tim) is the first one. I want to check the abilities from those C-Players... |

|
September 26th, 2000: First international player in here - it's Baby Woojums! Gidday Grant! A new update to PHCc v4.08 (Caeladium) take place (background: I've asked Bernd for a LAN support with PHCc and Caeladium was the answer). |
|
September 21st, 2000: Updating the next PHCc v4.07 (Camelot). |
|
September 15th, 2000: The search for new players is not fine. Missing some freaks. The Tavern gets a new look, too. |
|
September 10th, 2000: Updating the new PHCc v3.99 (Cassiopeia). |
|
September 8th, 2000: Searching for new VGAP players began. TEST game and first scenario ready for play. Some faceliftings take action for my site - also my English language wasn't perfect - a few faults. But the site looks better. |
|
September 4th, 2000: Updating PHCc v3.99 (Tranulas). |
|
September 1st, 2000: The PHCc automatic host site SPACECRAFT PORTAL is ready and "online". I've worked too much on it... |
|
August 22nd, 2000: Since I've registered PHCc the working on my site was very slow and my English isn't perfect, yet. I hope the September 1st, 2000 it is... Updating PHCc v3.98 (Quadron). |
|
August 3rd, 2000: After thinking about PHCc the downloading from PHCc shareware via Internet takes place. The tests had begone with PHCc v3.98 (Harpoon)... |
|
July 15th, 2000: Long time I've had the idea for an own web site with VGA Planets (VGAP) - now it goes on! In the Internet I've found via Tim's homepage a link to Bernd's PlanetMasters Host Control Center (PHCc) - a good autohost program. I'm not sure - should I test it? |
|
February 26th, 2000: Observing beta test of "Planets 4" |
|
March 30th, 1998: my VGAP games mailbox (BBS) ran successful over 5 years but due to business working I'd to close it. Thank you for all supporting user of those old days... |
|
January 27th, 1997: some players of my BBS and some friends told me they have seen unfriendly offendings at o.b.'s BBS about my BBS, some friends of mine, and - just me. After making big trouble o.b. scratched the lies from his BBS. It could be that he is a bit of resentful. |
|
October 7th, 1995: playing registered "WinPlan 3.5" I ran my BBS as a closed (!) system to prevent o.b. and his so-called competent callers from making damage. |
|
August 1st, 1995: o.b. opens his TELEK0MA mailbox system on a PC (now!) with Planets support, too. Also he began offending me and my BBS for unknown reasons. - In the past I thought I should give him a 2nd chance... today (2002!) I really think o.b. couldn't change anything of his (mis-)behavior (as the VGAP-93-Group currently shows)... |
|
March 30th, 1994: first statement from Tim heard "Planets 4" is one year or more far away. |
|
June 1st, 1993: first evening spent with o.b. (Oliver) to presentate VGA Planet 3.0. o.b. began to play with VGAP shareware on a laptop computer from his dad... also he ran a bbs on his C=64 computer (NON-PC!!!). So if you read he declares supporting on VGAP - how is it possible on a C=64 computer??? VGAP is a PC game!!! But you'll discover that o.b. is 'smashing with big year numbers' whenever he can. Believe me - he has worked with computers, programs etc. long time before you had begone (statement from himself). And he is 'ever right but you false'. Period. A sort of ALL-TIME-DOGMATISM... HERE IS a very BIG evidence that only o.b. is making rumour. And that he is lying when talking bad about me and my site... Tim spread so-called doc files (only plain text!) named BBS1994.doc and BBS1993.doc with Planets 3.0 software. Here is a copy of still existing files. You will find out that there wasn't a TELEK0MA BBS in 1993 and 1994 but only a RED BOARD with a phone number (the same as the TELEK0MA has used): ;))))) As of May 5, 1994 ************** +49-4503-87470 Red Board In the BBS1993.DOC is ***NO*** RED BOARD BBS named. Because it wasn't known as a Planets BBS!!! It was only a C=64 BBS (known by some friends of mine and - yes - myself...)!!! AND there was no TELEK0MA BBS - because it never exists in those days... hehehehehe |
|
May 1993: playing registered "VGA Planets 3.0" |
|
April 1993: heard of the version "VGA Planets 3.0", shareware download and test that month. |
|
March 1993: my first VGAP games mailbox (BBS) opened its ports (local area support first, net support later) |
|
September 1992: heard of the PC version "VGA Planets 2.0", shareware download and short test |
|
Late in 1991: first known contact to "VGA Planets 1.x" but I haven't much interest. |
