Necromunda Necromunda Toolset Comparisons & Updates

Can I ask is it Malo who pays for the site? So if he stopped, would yaktribe die?

So I did some investigation. For context, last time Malo posted was on the 1st of November 2023

I doubt website hosting is paid for a longer period than yearly - that's usually the refresh period for stuff like this in my experience. Domain names are typically refreshed on a per-year basis if memory serves. Additionally, I had a look at the website certificates, basically digital ID slips that tells your browser that the website you're on is who they claim they are. In short, they've been refreshed since his last public post (Cert refresh: 2024-03-23).

So, in short, Malo has been doing some work to keep the site running in his otherwise general absence. How much, and what, I'm unsure exactly. If those payments and those refreshes would lapse, the website would die on its own within a year or two.

Yep someone is about fixing things / renewing things on a fairly regularly basis, last noticeable time being the repair of image hosting, we’ve just not had any contact with them.

Thank you for answering; I guess my next question is ... surely ... someone in this community knows Malo in the real (after all, oldmunda was a smaller world). Surely someone is in communication about the longterm future of the site?

... oldmunda was a smaller world ...

I used to spend a lot of time on Eastern Fringe. There was some great stuff there. Lots of cool modelling projects. I'd also forgotten about Deadlands 3000. Blimey.

In terms of how the site is paid for, it’s via the subscriptions tab in the drop down menu. Hopefully, it’s more or less self sufficient, and if @Malo gets a coffee out of it occasionally he deserves it.

I’ve got access behind the curtain for the forums but not the tools. This may or may not be true, a lot of the buttons and flashing lights scare the Troll so I leave them well alone.

In my opinion for whatever reason Malo has lost the love for it at the moment, it happens, but the best thing we can do is try to keep it going in his absence. This place has been here for me when I’ve needed an exit from shitty real life and we need to make sure it’s here for others, hence my less than “friendly“ approach to claims that it is “dead”.

Love Clockwork
