Hey guys, with all the great Starflight forums out there disappearing or slowing down I've recently created a Starflight facebook group for fans to come and discuss all things Starflight related and support Starflight related fan projects like Starflight 3 and Starflight TLC (eg posting important news and demo announcements etc).
It's very sad visiting the various old starflight forums and seeing so much activity in the past yet so little now. It sucks that social media has crushed all the good old forums out there but it is what it is and a social media page could bring in fans of all the long lost communities back together again. Plus if more forums go down again at least the facebook page would live on keeping the Starflight community alive and attracting new members and new support for the fan projects.
I'm a member of some great retro gaming and tv show discussion groups where topics are posted almost daily leading to massive conversations about things that are 20+years old now lol! It's about time Starflight had a place in social media for fans to discuss all things Starflight related too! So in the end I decided to make my own as over the years I've created groups for other ageing classics like Master of Magic, Freelancer, and Sid Meier's Colonization which have been going quite well and have grown into nice little communities. Also I've put links to the GoG page for SF in the group descriptions so if the page does well then it's good for the current license holder here too haha.
Hope to see you all there! :)
