The end of Hyperlobby

[wheelsupcavu]

It has been several years since the heyday of Hyperlobby and Jiri announced recently that he will be closing the Hyberlobby forums. The game server has already been disabled.

The last time Jiri updated the program was four years ago and I never got the impression that it was enough to get Players back into using it.

It has been quite a few years since I used it regularly.
Hyperlobby was the only way to really meet people to play the Strike Fighters Project 1/Wings Over X series online.
The removal of multiplayer from Strike Fighters 2 largely ended my time on Hyperlobby.
I did try hosting SFP1/WoX a few more times, but the few people that used to fly SF online had moved on.
Salute to Jiri for having hosted Hyperlobby so long!
