Status Update

Well, FirstOnes is pretty much on idle for now, as we await news. For those who read the don't read the message forums, which you all really should do, the davs have only been able to tell us that serious talks are still ongoing, and not to give up hope.

If you fell the need to do something, we are semi-organizing an e-mail campaign to get other large B5 sites to link to us, so to increase our exposure. Feel free to send of a nice little e-mail to the webmasters of any B5 sites you know asking them to link to us. Just please do not spam them. It isn't good for relations :).
Continue to check back here for news, and in the meantime enjoy yourselves on the Message Boards.

We wait...
New Site

Mods.FirstOnes.com is now online. This will soon be home to the different Babylon 5 mods for other games that are in the works, or already exist. Check it out when you get a chance. It is kinda low on content for now, until the mod developers finish and upload their sites. Check the site for details.

Approximately 1 Hour, 30 Minutes Later

Well, I guess I was a little pessimistic in my earlier announcement. The changes only took and hour and a half, and resulted in little more that 10 minutes of downtime :). Many of you probably didn't notice. Hope you all can notice the change, and give suggestions for others.

If any of you notice any abnormalities besides the normal odd stuff, please notify me asap so I can look into it.
About the Message Board

The board may be offline at several points tonight as we make a few changes/adjustments to it. It is nothing to worry about, and these should be finished by tomorrow morning. If for any reason the board needs to be down for a long period of time, I will post that news here. Please try to keep postings on the board low for the night if possible, please. Thank you for your patience as we do this.

New Forum!

I have set up a new forum on our Message Boards. It is for all of the squads that have popped up and the wars that have broken out between them :). Also, look out for an official registry of the squads, as some of you had requested.

Another show of support!

Electric Playground has published an article on their website in support of our crusade to save B5:ITF. It is basically just a link and little thing saying the game was cancelled. But it is great to have the support of a great show like thiers.

For those of you who don't know, their show can be viewed in Canada on Space:The Imagination Station Saturdays and sometimes Sundays at 11:30am.

Whoops! Forgot To Mention...

There is another B5 mod being made out there, but it needs your help. It is an X-Wing Alliance mod. If you think that you can help in any way, then please contact Joseph Connor, aka B4StarfuryPilot in most places. He really needs help in scrounging up members.

P.S. I was supposed to post this a number of days ago, but it slipped my mind :) Sorry this took so long Joseph, and thanks for reminding me:).
RE: Lack Of Updates (Again)

Hey guys. Sorry for the recent lack of updates here on FirstOnes. There just really hasn't been much to report. I also haven't had much time to do many updates, so I have been posting little bits of news that I get on the forum. That is also a reminder to those of you who don't read the forums much to spend maybe half and hour a day just checking out all of the things going on.

P.S. Happy Halloween from all of us at FirstOnes :)

Comments From JMS!

We now have some word from the Great Maker himself, JMS, on what he thinks about the game and our efforts here at FirstOnes.

The online B5 community has been amazing throughout this whole process; the B5 footage shot for the game is, essentially, the last such footage around, and to see it go to waste would be a shame. It has the potential to be a terrific game, and the B5 fan community is showing that one *can* make a difference. As was posited in the show, all one has to do is say "yes I will" one more time than someone else can say "no you won't." FirstOnes.com has been a pivotal force in this, and I think everyone associated with the game appreciates the efforts being made there.

jms


Well, I hope that his enthusiasm for the game will inspire us all.
