SubSpace: Massively multiplayer in the underground

SubSpace is apparently an underground game now. Not that it was added to the Home of the Underdogs, but it has lost virtually every public existence on the web.
During the past years, there were two big SubSpace sites which held the name of the game up: SubSpace.net and SubSpaceHQ.com.
SubSpace.net was lost (expired?) some time ago but there was still SubSpaceHQ.
Not anymore.
SubSpaceHQ was captured by a Domain snapper or something as well, it is now a parking page. Now the community stands without a big game portal at all.
SubSpaceDownloads.com might be the solution.
If only TheBajan would turn it into a real portal with news and stuff. What the community really needs is a good website which existing players can show to the new kids on the block.
As it stands now, the game is virtually dead and will only be used as a chatroom with extra content in a couple of years. A shame for the best massively multiplayer game using 2d graphics.
Natural selection I guess.

*Update* subspace.net has been regained and now points to getcontinuum.com. Evolution, I guess.

Comments:
Nah, Continuum might see a decline in players since 2003-, but it's nowhere from going dead yet. Obviously it sucks subspacehq went down, but there are many alternative links such as getcontinuum.com or sscentral.com . The only thing preventing the game from advancing/catching up with the times is the fact that the game is closed-source, making updating it extremely hard.

Overall, it's still an awesome & addictive game that I recommend to everyone!
