It's a server side problem. The website used to have some custom perl
scripts to dynamically generate pages like the galleries or a
developer diary. But at one point in time linuxgames.com (or whoever
actually owns the server) shut down perl. Since then, nobody really
has done anything about it.

It's the right place to discuss stuff like this. I wasn't really sure
if screenshots or art are such big a deal when people can just
download the thing and see for themselves. There are plenty of
screenshots elsewhere too:

OTOH, that's the second E-Mail regarding this that I received in the
last few days, so it might be time to reconsider ;-). The website is
checked into CVS, so anyone who wishes to help out can grab the code
and patch up the galleries:

  http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/website/?root=adonthell

(Can even see the desired images there).

If there's really nobody to lend a hand with this, I'll see what I can
do myself. Won't be great then, but at least I can make sure the
images show again.

Cheers,

Kai
