So what's been going on?  What happened to the old S7?  And why do we need to answer a question to register?

I would love to get ahold of the code, or how he set it up for posting.

I have to agree, I’ve been out of touch for a while. With only my phone I don’t think that my iPhone can handle SSW or anything HeavyMetal related.

It’s a shame since I’ve had a few dozen ideas for units, ‘Mechs, and a few ship designs.

Hey everyone. Nice to see some of the old crowd. Sad to see the old site gone, but I'm glad that something remains.

Can't say I'll check in as often as I used to, but dammit, I missed you guys.

I Still Function!

 

I'm impressed my Island Board set for MegaMek got integrated into the program development at Github.

Hey Ursis.

I do remember you from the old site.

Don't read to into what 'Mechs I have and what I don't.

There were tons of excellent designs I didn't download.

Well over half of what I have were entrants from all the Nuts & Bolts contests.

And the other ones are mostly just ones that caught my attention for being different from the stuff I made myself or did things I never thought of (when I was active on S7 I had been building Mechs for 10 years or so, so I had tried a lot even if the vast majority of it never made it on S7).

So heyya peeps!  Long time no type!

 

I saw Fabrizo had found some old mech data on his thread, 

http://www.solaris7.com/thread/list-of-other-people-s-designs-i-have-from-the-old-solaris-7/

 

Slightly disappointed I didn't find any of my stuff, but I'm not surprised as I arrived late in the "game".

Like Thunder, I too would like to find any old stuff.

 

I really miss the RPG threads we did.  I was chatting with my eldest the other day about an adventure on

a little planet named Thule with a certain Draconis Combine DEST unit, Rasalhaguers, and Ghost Bears.

Oh my!

 

I hope all is well with each of you.

U.B.

Im glad some vestige of the old site remains. Even if its is a little less frequented lol

 

What is important is that it is alive and so is CBT.

I miss the old S7 site too. I mostly had vehicle designs. Fortunately I have kept paper copies of my best designs but it was always cool to see what other people put together.

Holy crap!......S7 is back? Man, I've been away too long.

This thread is like the section in Iain M Banks's Excession where all the legendary minds everyone thought were dead reappear from the darkness and take over the planning for the imminent war.

It's rather glorious.

 

I must read it again.

Shame all the designs from the old S7 are gone. I had a lot of time and effort vested in that material. I don't hold anybody responsible, of course, especially Skyhigh, who I gather put a huge amount of effort into the site for little reward and who deserves all our thanks. But it's a shame, nonetheless.

I must try and fire up my ancient Toshiba laptop to see if it still has any old BT designs on the hard drive.

Not about the website itself.  I just want to salvage all the designs and fluff that were on it when it went down.

I'm sure it would be possible. Whether there is the demand and if anyone has the time, money, and inclination to is another question.

The real question is- would that even be a good idea? You're talking about restarting a website that was running the latest technology of ~2006 after all.

LOL Yepp. Gotta say I miss  the old S7.

 

I wonder if it  would be possible to crank that up again?

icehellion posted this 26 June 2019

Holy Cow!! Look at all those names. Haven't seen this bunch in a while

 

We are the names?

Well since you have better contacts then we do,  can you ask Skyhigh if there is a backup of the old S7?  And how much it would cost to get a copy?
