Yeah I agree, Im just saying that he is not to blame, I mean we are all sad about KS's shutting down but we shouldn't blame SirCmpwn for doing so.

He had the control. He could have passed this along gracefully. He could have even put up a warning ahead of time. (hey here is my decision, I'm warning everyone as my hosting will expire in 2 weeks). Instead he decided to go out the rudest way possible. And in doing so he undermined years of good will in one act. I'm glad someone is rebuilding. I hope they have a way of restoring all the history etc. And I hope they setup a patreon to keep it funded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffQC1 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Im pretty sure KerbalStuff was well-loved by many peoples, despite recent problems. So, im sure that people will bring it back within a few days, maybe even a few hours! But, like i said before, we could make a new improved version. Bigger, Faster and with more functionnality, however, we should stay in the main "spirit" of the original KerbalStuff (No ads, simple and friendly interface, CKAN support and much more).

I have to say, in spite of the awkward exit, what SirChmpwn did was pretty awesome. CKAN auto updating alone, for modders and users, was terrific. As a modder I definitely feel the loss. But, it's great that the community is so responsive and moving in an optimistic direction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffQC1 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Just now, mark7 said: Maybe some ads will be acceptable, but it just me. Well, it depends. I don't want big ads that cover half the screen or 9000 ads that open up before the stuff i want. Small ads, sure, if it helps covering the cost but i think that with a monthly cost of around 200$ we could easily covert that with donations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance google ads are very performative, but don't pay very well per impression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSP community haven't stop growing and improving since many years. However, is there any threads or topics we can follow to contribute to the reactivation of Project KerbalStuff 1.1?

From what I can gather it was shutdown for 3 reasons: Feelings were hurt because SQUAD didn't acknowledge kerbalstuff and tried to protect their brand Feelings were hurt because kerbalstuff received negative feedback from users? It was too expensive No call was put out for funds that would have undoubtedly poured in had they been asked for. No ads were placed to offset the cost which would have been annoying but understood. And, as previously mentioned, no request for someone else to take the mantle was made. It seems to me to be more akin to a suicide than anything else...specifically where you hope everyone else is sad and at a loss when you remove yourself from their lives. Then, to make sure it hits the way you want, you leave the note about how terrible everyone was in hopes to garner pitty. Not impressed. Dude, seriously, QFT! I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, yeah, me too dont want big aids or too much aids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
