Two weeks have passed since the original post warning of new submission guidelines. That leaves one more week for hub owners to meet the guidelines or their games will be removed.

Just to reiterate, the new guidelines are:
All games must now either be downloadable, have a dedicated 24/7 host, or have an accurate hosting schedule posted on their hub to be listed


The following games do not meet any of these requirements:

AaiskeProductions.MantaRayOnline
Aaronland.WWEXD
Aimekuel.CounterStrikeEvolution
Asha_LaPoe.AlienvsPredator
Baladin.doom
Biggyneo88.CribWars
BloodEntertainment.ZombieOnline
Branks.GlobalChampionshipWrestling2
ChewBakaInc.AVampiresSolstice
Cleir93.ConflictCity
DarkSoulEnt.BYONDBoxing
DarkSoulEnt.ByondFastandtheFurious

FLameslash.UniversalBrawl
FlameGuardian.CastlevaniaBYOND

ThePeopleProductions.StargateANewEra
TheRevalations21221.GearsOfWar
TheRevalations21221.HaloBYOND
Theironx.CreaturesOnBoard
ValenX.MMCF


If you are the hub owner of one of the aforementioned games, be aware that you have one more week to meet the above guidelines or it will be removed from BYOND Action. If you don't think you can make this deadline, don't worry; you can always resubmit your game later on.

*Edit* It should also be noted that you do not need to post here if you make the required changes. I will be going through all of the hubs again in a week and checking. Feel free to do so if you want confirmation, however.


There are also several games that could be considered "classics" that no longer meet these requirements:

Dagolar.FOBF-TheFishWars
LesbianAssassin.RedCap
Thorg.ZOMBIES

If you have the host files to these games, please upload them and post here so we can preserve some BYOND history!

(Drat! Seven minutes sooner, and it would have been exact!)

I find it rather sad that there were that many really, DarkCampainger. But, what are you going to do eh?

And I believe I may have Red Cap files on my old computer in storage. I will grab the hard-drive later on and take a gander for ya.

As do I, especially because I got to play most of them. There are quite a few in that list that had some great potential, but were dropped by the author. Most of those hubs haven't been updated since '07.

Sounds great! I don't think I ever had a chance to play it, but I've heard good things.

You can get Zombies, its source was released. Just go to resources and type in ZOMBIES!

Uploading hosting files for Zombie Wars.

I would like to ask you to add Megaman Files to that list and take it down, DarkCampainger. It's still hosted, but it's on a bad scedual and I'm redoing the entire system with a new Megaman game to come anyways. Since I'm not working on it or updating it at all, you mind as well take it down. I have to imagine the only reason it's not on there is because I made that comment on your earlier post.

Great. Just out of curiosity, why are the host files 94mb? :P

I think this was another game I never got around to playing, but I remember seeing it often ever since I joined BYOND.

Consider it done. However, I would like to clarify that any games showing recent activity (seeing as how I didn't see a single hub listing a hosting schedule as requested :P) were left off the list. As yours took advantage of the recent Medal system and had comments, I left it alone assuming that you were hosting haphazardly. The real goal of this change was to removed all the long dead hubs that are not actively being worked on (and also to strengthen guidelines so they don't pile up so quickly)

I'm not sure really, it may be the map since its incomplete and a huge blank map. Testing versions are such a pain lol.
