Unfortunately, the project had to be shut down. The reason is the incompetence of those responsible for the web pages who kept their pages open to anonymous changes. Against such unsedired changes they tried dilettantic attempts like banning an IP (as if any attacker would have a problem to get as many new IPs as she desires) or usinga spam filter (so that pages cannot be saved when they contain certain expressions).

Since some basic competence in establishing proper authentication is crucial for a project like this, and we do not have such personnel, we have decided to give up FreeOrion.

These pages will be closed in a few days for good.
