Most who visit our forums would have seen this day coming, maybe it's a surprise for some, but the staff here have been talking this over for some time, and we have decided that due to lack of interest in developing the mod, both from ourselves and people wanting to join to help develop it, we have decided to end production of Dragonball Source.

It's not been an easy decision, and I've been putting off doing this message for a while now, but it's time we put an end to it. We thank all for the support over these three years and a half years, be you just downloading the mod, or have been watching the mod from the first days it was announced. We have recorded over 40,000+ downloads for all versions of DBSource, most of which are from the latest version, and that number doesn't include mirrors that don't record downloads, or ones that we don't have control over. And for that reason, we consider this project as a success, as for 99% of the staff that has worked on this mod, this is the first mod we have ever worked on, and we managed to take it through from the drawing board to a full release. Our only goal was to release a DBZ game for Source, and we took it beyond that expectation.

We may be closing Dragonball Source's development, BUT....

Servers will still run, download links will still be available, and one day we may even make this Open Source so that people can carry on development. A return to developing DBSource is even planned. As many will know, next April sees a live action movie coming to the big screens, based on Dragonball, this may revive the DBZ community, and with it our interests in developing this game. So for news on that, watch this space.

This website and it's community will remain active, and we will still keep the DBS forums going, so there is still a place for things DBS related to go.

Before ending this message, a special thank you must go to the guys at Dedifrag.com, as it is their choice to keep running our servers beyond this point, and we will continue to link to them and recormend their servers to people, but since DBS is no longer being developed, they may close down their sponsored server. Whatever they do, thank you for the server you have given us thus far.

Dragonball Source has been.....

Nagash, Gundy, Lfs/Ramunas, Zero, Aktulua, JP, DJ Particle, Reckoning of Fire, Dendza*, Wolf, Callmeryan, DLSwimmer, BiLe, doodle*, Vegnadragon/Cloud*, Martok*, ShadyD*

* = Their work isn't in the latest release, but did work worthy of note for DBS

(Also thanks to beta testers who helped improve this mod)
