   Hi everyone,   
      
   It looks like Hobbes, the OS/2 FTP archive site at hobbes.nmsu.edu, is up to   
   their old games again sadly.  I remember it was pretty bad between   
   1998-2004.   
      
   From a Facebook post in the "OS/2, Ecomstation & Arcaos" group I belong to:   
      
   ===Cut===    
   Please note that the current maintainer of the Hobbes archive   
   (hobbes.nmsu.edu) has disabled upload rights and even in most cases access   
   to the archive for most of Eastern Europe.  This affects not only users in   
   EE, but since much of the current development for OS/2 happens in that part   
   of the world it means new software is not showing up on the site.  So if you   
   like to keep an eye on software updates for the platform you might be better   
   off monitoring eC Soft/2 than Hobbes for the foreseeable future.   
      
   https://ecsoft2.org/last30days   
      
   Please note that this page show all changes to the eC Soft site for any   
   given time period and not just new software releases.   
      
   P.S.  This sort of shit alongside random and even wholesale deletions and   
   rejection of new files used to frequently happen on Hobbes in the 90's and   
   well into the new century.  However at the time it was usually not noticed   
   by people due to the much higher volume of new files and happenings in the   
   OS/2 world in general.
