Quadropolis will be shutting down forever on the 26th of July, 2009. This is due to problems with the hosting provider, HostMDS; Nieb has opted to discontinue this service in favour of alternatives which are currently being worked on. If you have anything on this site you wish to retrieve, it is highly recommended that you do so before this deadline; there are no guarantees any content will be saved and kept.

A Sauerbraten-specific solution, named "SauerWorld" is currently being worked on by mefisto, who can be contacted through their IRC channel #sauerworld @ irc.gamesurge.net. Please note that this effort has not been finished yet, and may not be ready in time for the switchover. In which case you are urged to start using each project's alternative solution. Please note that SauerWorld will be specific to Sauerbraten, and each Cube Engine based game will now start providing their own content distribution systems for their users (listed below).

It is suggested that anyone wishing to help work on these new sites contact the communities in question for further information. However, I do have some concern regarding this splintering of the Cube Engine community myself, and those of you who are interested in helping to create an all-encompassing successor to Quadropolis are welcome to contact me (Quin); I can be found in the Sauerbraten, Blood Frontier, and Sandbox communities. Please realise there is no guarantee that such an effort will be successful or possible, but I am open to suggestions, contributions, and as a general point of contact as one of the leaders in this community.

Thank you all for using Quadropolis, during the time in which I've lead this site, I have seen it flourish with new content (nodes #200-2050!) and have very much enjoyed the help given to me by those I promoted to administrator. You were all an integral part of making Quadropolis work, no matter how broken or clunky it has been. As sad as I am to see it die, it was inevitable, and I hope we can look forward to a brighter and happier future with more reliable software ;)
