We have made the difficult decision to retire the Tucows Downloads site. We’re pleased to say that much of the software and other assets that made up the Tucows Downloads library have been transferred to our friends at the Internet Archive for posterity.

The shareware downloads bulletin board system (BBS) that would become Tucows Downloads was founded back in 1993 on a library computer in Flint, MI. What started as a place for people in the know to download software became the place to download software on the burgeoning Internet. Far more quickly than anyone could have imagined.

A lot has changed since those early years. Tucows has grown and evolved as a business. It’s been a long time since Tucows has been TUCOWS, which stood for The Ultimate Collection of Winsock Software.

Today, Tucows is the second-largest domain name registrar in the world behind Go Daddy and the largest wholesaler of domain names in the world with customers like Shopify and other global website builder platforms. Hover offers domain names and email at retail to help people brand their life online. OpenSRS (and along the way our acquisitions of Enom, Ascio and EPAG) are the SaaS platforms upon which tens of thousands of customers have built their own domain registration businesses, registering tens of millions of domains on behalf of their customers. Ting Internet is building fiber-optic networks all over the U.S. At the same time, we’re building the Mobile Services Enabler SaaS platform that is powering DISH’s entry into the US mobile market.

Point is, we’re keeping busy.

For the past several years, history, well sentimentality, has been the only reason to keep Tucows Downloads around. We talked about shutting the site down before. Most seriously in 2016 when instead, we decided to go ad-free, keeping the site up as a public service.

Today is different. Tucows Downloads is old. Old sites are a maintenance challenge and therefore a risk. Maintaining the Tucows Downloads site pulls people away from the work that moves our businesses forward.

Tucows Downloads has had an incredible run. Retiring it is the right move but that doesn’t alter the fact that it will always hold a special place in hearts and our story. We’re thankful to the thousands of software developers who used Tucows Downloads to get their software in front of millions of people, driving billions of downloads over more than 25 years.

Thank you.
Sincerely,
Elliot Noss
CEO, Tucows

A dedicated group of Trekkies look to immortalize the shows infamous vessel via an interactive virtual tour.

Kirk or Picard? It’s a question that’s haunted Stark Trek fans for years, destroying countless friendships in the process. Regardless of where your allegiance may lie, there’s no denying the absolute triumph of television that was Stark Trek: The Next Generation.

Now, just over 24 years after the shows final broadcast, long-time fans have yet another chance to dive into The Next Generation universe thanks to a still-in-development virtual tour of the infamous USS Enterprise-D.

Under development by a team of dedicated Trekkies, the Space 9 project offers an interactive tour of the 24th century Federation Galaxy-class starship recreated in virtual reality with painstaking detail.

“Imagine walking to Worf’s tactical station on the Bridge, pressing buttons on his control panel and firing torpedoes or sitting in Data’s chair at the helm console and taking the ship into warp! You can do all and more as we develop this walk-through to be as identical and immersive as possible to the show and the ship,” states Stage Nine in their official site.

Utilizing Unreal Engine 4, the team eventually aims to recreate every room of NCC-1701-D, including areas not shown during the original program. According to TrekNews, the latter is being accomplished using older references, such as production plans designer Rick Sternbach released publically in the 90’s.

“Star Trek is something that means a lot to many people, including all of us involved in Stage 9,” spoke Stage 9 developer, Rob Bryan, during an interview with TrekNews. “This is something Patrick Stewart himself said when announcing his return to Picard, and it resonated significantly with the Stage 9 team: ‘The Next Generation brought people comfort, saw them through difficult periods in their lives or how the example of Jean-Luc inspired so many to follow in his footsteps, pursuing science, exploration, and leadership.’ Stage 9 itself is our way of paying respect to something we all love.”

As of right now, fans can hop into VR and tour the Main Bridge, Observation Lounge, Sickbay, Battle Bridge, Holodecks, Transporter Room, Dr Crusher’s Office and Picard’s, Worf’s, and Data’s Quarters, just to name a few. There’s also access to areas rarely shown on the show, such as Main Shuttlebays 1 & 2, with more myserious locations on the way.

Beam yourself onto the Enterprise-D for free over at the official Stage 9 website. Players are free to engage in a variety of intergalactic activities, from Borg encounters, Warp Core breaches, and Phaser Ranges, to flying shuttles, exploring corridors, and participating in “disco mode” on the main bridge. For more of an Inception-like experience, check out the various simulations available via the Holodeck.

Stage 9 currently supports HTC Vive and Oculus Rift headsets.

Next to Ubisoft’s Stark Trek Bridge Crew, Space 9 is developing into one of the most ambitious Star Trek VR experiences currently available on the market. With continued support by its developers, there’s no telling where this impressive project could head.
