To talk of many things...
It's been a fun ride, but we're slowing down and pulling into the station now. The goal was for TerraBreak to be an open, free exchange of ideas and information about Design/Build/Fly, so while we're going away, we want to make the data we collected available to those who want to play with it.
As such, two downloads are available:
Photos are copyright their respective authors; fair use guidelines apply. The SQL data is provided as-is; no support on using the data will be provided. It contains all of the score and aircraft data we have collected over the years.
As of right now, the domain, terrabreak.org, is registered through March 19, 2012. I currently plan to keep this data available here until that time; but things change -- so if you want the data above, get it while it's hot.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
It's been about 6 months since Mike and I posted that we had realized "the utility of the site, as a whole, is not in keeping with the time and expense we have put forth to maintain and update it."
In that time we haven't had much interest in someone coming forward and taking over the administration of the site. Additionally, we see very little use of the forums, whereas we still get a significant number of spam account creations. Finally, Mike has decided that he would like to allocate his webhosting resources differently.
As such, we are planning to remove the site from the interwebs on/around November 1st (depending on a variety of variables). We will be saving an archive of the site for our own amusement. After we figure out a worthwhile way to make the data we collected available, we'll figure out a way to equitably disseminate it. It'll probably involve zipped csv files from our sql database, and some sort of basic ftp /link from the new 'TerraBreak is Dead, Long live Something Else' frontpage we'll put up when we're set to pull the site down.
