Letter to other Admins

    Just read over the letter and it all looks good, but I think you should drop Crossfire and stick with just Swat-Portal.com as other communities will think your trying to promote Crossfire over there mod. I can think of a few that would make a huge mountain out of having Crossfire in the letter. I think Swat_OP knows about whom I am thinking about.


    Not to be saying this to be mean just trying to keep it neutral, and promote FL, and Swat-Portal.com as the new place to come for news, mods, tutorials, and forum for FL. Not saying to take out the part about the other games as that is brief and looks good.


    I admit I am more with Aduis Place community wise then with the Crossfire community, but IMO Swat-Portal has become more then just Crossfire and is going to have to fill the void that TLR has created. This site is set up very well and I do not see why it can't pickup were TLR left of some time ago.


    Well what do you all think am I out of place saying what I just said? Think about it as this is going to many other FL communities that must have there own mods already.


    Edit:
    I should have read Swat_OP's post. I guess we are on the thinking along the same track.

    yeah - SWAT has to stay independent
    CF is just a subsection - a project supported by SWAT (just like several other SWAT projects)

    Only dead fish swim with the stream.
    Don't discuss with idiots. They only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience there.


    This is ten percent luck,
    Twenty percent skill,
    Fifteen percent concentrated power of will,
    Five percent pleasure,
    Fifty percent pain,
    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

    The Author of the 2nd header is our own Gunny 8) Thx for the great work m8 !! Very good elements to make a much better letter.

    Rewrite:



    Greetings to all Admins, Modders & Freelancers,


    We the community of the SWAT-Portal would like to extend an invitation to you, to join the SWAT community to continue development of the games we all enjoy.


    Our purpose is to create a gathering of talent, ideas, and the sharing of ideas to solve the collective issues we all face, one being the removal of the GLS which we all know is history for Freelancer.


    After all of the very hard work that Admins, Development Teams, and Members of the various Communities have invested we can't just sit by and watch Freelancer die.


    Mods supported by SWAT-Portal and I am sure a few others, do not require the GLS to connect, but even with this solution to our needs, it certainly does not solve the problem for the entire Freelancer community.


    I am sending this mail to offer any help if *mod name* still requires the GLS. We have several options to solve this problem and we will be very happy to help develop the suitable solution for your needs. Our technical team may be contacted directly at http://www.swat-portal.com/php/wbboard/board.php?boardid=124 . There is no charge nor anything else asked for in return for any help.


    The vision of SWAT-Portal is to provide a place for people to come for any technical or support needs. Modders need a place where they can go to explore different questions and exchange ideas in a free environment. All people have a different comfort level for sharing information. It doesnt matter if you wish to share nothing or wish to share much. You are welcome at SWAT-Portal. Fun is what gaming and modding is all about.


    The offerings at SWAT-Portal are too many to list. Below is a partial list:

    Mod hosting. *mod name* can be added to the Mod download section and announced on the SWAT-Portal home page. Also a link to *mod name* would be placed on the home page.


    Your updates, Server news, etc.. will be posted in a timely manner. We understand completely this issue is vital to the good health and success of *mod name*.


    Modding tutorials and help with modding questions in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. http://www.swat-portal.com/php/wbboard/board.php?boardid=124


    Downloads for tools, fixes, ship packs, etc Too many downloads to list.


    We are creating a Mod database where the community can introduce and moderate their work.


    Some of the best Mod creators and several other communities are supporting SWAT-Portal.


    We support 14+ other games with content, news, forums, downloads, etc.. We have excellent contacts with gaming companies and provide exclusive information and materials.


    All of this and much much more is offered free of charge and with no strings attached.


    One of the most important goals for SWAT-Portal is to create a new GLS. This GLS will be independent of any Mods and independently hosted as the original GLS has always been. It is our belief that a GLS controlled by a Mod or group of Mods can lead to grave abuses. We believe that Mod Communities, Servers, and Forums should remain independent as it has always been. *mod name* and its Community deserves the right to be independent and free from control or abuse by anyone.


    We invite you to take a look at http://www.swat-portal.com . If you like what you see and would like to share this information with your Community; please feel free to post this in your forum. If you or anyone in your Community would like to join the team we are always grateful for any help. Thank you very much.


    I wish you a very happy Holidays and a prosperous New Year.


    Sincerely yours,


    *name*

    thanks for doing what you do



    if you would like an image to link Us please feel free to use this one



    as soon as i have your permission to add the information in your E-mail to our News page i will do so .

    Thats fine by me if you would correct the name that would be good as well as I was not sure to whom the letter was to go to. So I put RIP as that was what I remember you all from when on MU. I noticed after checking out the site more your mod would be the UnderVerse is that correct? I might add that I am a big fan of Riddick. ;)
