I'm very busy at the moment and even will not be online from 23th to 28th June. This is most important for me and you will understand completly after the 28th.
Jose-Carlos, Mogens and Roger have approved to continue to act as moderators. Therefore the forum will not be affected by this.
As some of you already know I'm working on my own engine since ~two months. This is the reason why I don't test or run tournaments at the moment. Due to the circumstances termed in 1. also this is paused at the moment. Please expect I'm going to ask a lot of stupid questions after the break. I guess I will need another two or three months to release another (weak) engine.
This forum is going to move. I plan to run it on my on domain and use phpBB2 as forum software. I expect this will be more comfortable for the users and the administrators. (Better search function, automatic registration, group management, better design and so on.) As this forum is paid up to March 2005 the migration should be finished till then.
Someone wrote me that somone else has initiated some sort of a calumny campaign against me. I'm aware of this and already got some juristic advice. Therefore no further hints are necessary. Everyone can be sure: if this nonsense doesn't stop I will react.

Regards
Volker

Great news you're writing your own engine. Just make sure you don't follow my programming advice...

Thanks. Cause it is fun to reinvent the wheel over and over I'm writing it from scratch. Maybe I write a paper about it when it's finished. Topics could be:

Ugly Program Design
How to Search Slowly
Bad Data Structures

You start to sound like Tord:
My program stinks.
Ooops it won the tournament - what a luck!
How much does all the other programs stink then - lika a dunghill???
