In an announcement on their
website, STGD has decided to close it's doors on the SFC series.
While Dynaverse.Net and STGD have had some differences in the past, all of us here feel a sense of sadness and loss for the community when we learned that STGD had made this decision.
From the STGD front page:
This weekend will mark the end of the 5 year run of the original Star Trek Clan Directory.
The site itself will oficially go offline friday night after the directory is stripped out and the downloads system is stripped out. It's been a long 5 years, i feel the time for the STGD is now over with more clans playing newer more better supported games and less clans taking part in the STGD (some clans not visiting us at all) it means that the pulling power of the site has waned over the past 2 years.
We would rather pull the site down while it is still riding high than watch it suffer during 2005.
From the original Armada Clan Directory back in 1999/2000 to the new Star Trek Gamers Directory launched 2004 the whole series of sites has seen the rise and fall of star trek gaming, we feel it's time is now over.
I would like to thank all the fleets who have supported the original site and this new one especially SF, RS, RNGD, Q, UNO, SFC, 11thFleet (of which i recently joined), UFP, ELITE and FoH.
If i missed anyone out im sorry, but there are so many clans who have shown myself and Katherine support during the past half a decade.
Trek gamng will live on without STGD, however i must warn you all, 2005 will be a very bad year for the fleets of trek gaming, with no new games out this year and none out in 2005 and only a beta out 2006 with a final game out 2007 it means if you have not done so yet i would SERIOUSLY consider taking your clan into one or 2 non star trek games, like BF1942, EQ2, WoW and the likes.
STGD does not mean trek gaming will collapse, although a lot of people will be running around like headless chickens for a few weeks thinking it will. There are still some sites out there that cater for the gaming populace of trek gamers, the main one that springs to mind is www.stgu.com and of course Raven Knights Starfleet Command, Bridge Commander and Elite Force Universe sites.
The main mod directory will remain open for a further month to aloow modders to download any work we are hosting on there behalf. Any hosted sites will remain on the FTP until they are able to find a new host, we will NOT just shut your hosted site down, take as long as you need to find a good stable host, then contact me via victor1st@gmail.com to inform me that you have found a host.

As for the former STGD staff?

Our future is in Blizzard games, the above site is just a test site for a gamers site which will eclipse the content that the STGD had in its 5 year history, if you are going to be playing World of Warcraft you'll catch me and katherine in the new site once it is launched.

Thanks for the 5 years of memories...(edited)
