March 18, 2026 celebrates 10 years of this website being available. When the counter was first added at the bottom of the site, I never fathomed it would receive more than 100 visits in its lifetime. Instead, the site has received thousands of visits by humans, and tens of thousands by bots (okay, I am just assuming. I have no real data).
However, this website was not created just on a whim. A couple events took place that motivated its creation.
The first event was, up until then, the long-lasting, premier website was the Fighters Anthology Resource Center and its forum, the FARC Board. In order to get material posted required sending request to the site owner (J.K. Peterson). By 2016, though, there were, maybe, six people at best, who cruised into the FARC forum and still showed interest in the game. Also around 2016, I was beginning to get more involved in modding the game and creating new missions. I needed a way to post without having to rely on the charity of others.
The second event involves the Fighters Anthology wiki page. One day, I devoted a portion of my time updating the wiki page, letting people know that the game still had a following, and that various mods had been / were still being developed to improve the game. Well, some loathsome, little power-tripping prick that runs that page decided he did not like someone else making a contribution to it; so, bam, delete it he did.
Thus was born the USNRaptor Jane's Fighters Anthology page, and soon after, the Great Planes / Wings Database page. Thanks to my ISP still having, deep in the bowels of their forgotten internet servers, the ability of clients to create simple, personal websites. It was within those old FTP pages that this last, Windows ME-based website was created. To read what all has been done over the years, just visit the main page, start at the bottom, and read up.
Now comes the Important Message. There very likely will not be an 11th anniversary of this website. It is, in fact, in danger of shutting down this year. You see, I live in an old house with my Windows ME computer, connected to a DSL modem (from year 2007) hooked up to a copper phone line. Frontier phone/internet was recently purchased by Verizon. Verizon is replacing copper phone lines with Fiber Optic, including having just done so in my neighborhood. Because I am already paying a ridiculous amount of money for a service I barely use, and the perks of that service (being able to use my WinME computer on the internet being one) are about to expire with it, my wife and I have decided we do not really need it anymore. We have a hotbox for the laptop and two cell phones to access the internet. Not only that, the internet just really sucks anymore. The free speech websites of the past are gone, and replaced by corporate and/or foreign government entities that hire loathsome, little power-tripping pricks to restrict what can and cannot be said. The censorship is truely disgusting, really.
However, there is a slight glimmer of hope. The following is a theory. It may come true, but more likely will not. First, some background : a year or two ago, Frontier switched the internet users e-mail accounts from in-house over to being run by Yahoo. My internet website is, or was, tied into my e-mail account. The password was the same for both e-mail and website. When the switch to Yahoo occurred, my e-mail received a new password. But, for some reason, the website did not. The website had gone down briefly, but was back up after a few hours. During the time of panic, I was calling around trying to get info about the site. In typical sh*t-show tech support fashion, no one knew what I was talking about, and told me to contact the other company. I finally gave up, waited it out, and the website came back online. It continues to use the old password and connection addresses (ftp.frontier).
Here is the theory I am hoping pans out : with the e-mails having transferred to Yahoo, the website lost in the bowels of the internet, and Verizon just doing whatever their thing is, there is a chance the forgotten personal websites may remain accessable. With tech companies having all of their masses of data collecting power, and only wanting to spend a little money that goes directly into making lots of money, why would they bother to go looking for old, tiny nothing websites and remove them? That would cost money, so why bother?
So, that is where we stand. Those of you who read all of that, you are either really bored or are actually fans and are concerned. For the fans who want to stay in contact, and potentially receive Playset/Campaign updates, now is the time to send me an e-mail to ocsdor@frontier.com . Do NOT wait; time is of the essence. In the message, leave your handle name(s) used at our Discord and/or the FARC Board, and state somewhere in there about what the message is about so I can weed out potential spam. Feel free to say something about enjoying the Playset/ Campaigns as well. So many thousands of visitors have used my free info/material, yet maybe a dozen or so have said "Thank You".
Lastly, the USNRaptor FA Google Drive will remain operational for the foreseeable future. Save that link now.
Fingers Crossed.
