Network 42, for a number of reasons, is closing its doors. I want to thank Lt. Bob and Total for their hard work and efforts they have put in up to this point, and to assure you that Tactical Gamer remains a vital community that will continue to grow.

We are taking steps to make Tactical Gamer financially strong at its current size and to ensure that core services continue while Network 42 shuts down and Tactical Gamer reorganizes. Some of the changes that will take place over the next couple of weeks include

• Tactical Gamer’s web site and forums will move to an external data center

• The forums are being redesigned to cover a streamlined selection of support for games, reducing bandwidth requirements

• The current billing system will have to be replaced, and for the time being a Paypal system may have to suffice. Members wishing to join the new Tactical Gamer community must do so voluntarily, we can not transfer your current subscriptions.

• Some game servers that are not justified by the members’ use may be mothballed.

• Tactical Gamer will continue to offer high speed servers running the games that members want to play, however not all of our current games may be up all of the time. Some games will be put into a "rotation" on designated servers.

The average member should remain largely unaffected by these changes in corporate and technological infrastructure.

Each and every one of you who have supported us in the past with your subscriptions, volunteer spirit, attitude, and sense of community have built Tactical Gamer. We will continue to build Tactical Gamer. That has not changed.
