== 2015-2016: Host transitions, code splosion and Ion==
2015 and 2016 saw fresh challenges and changes for tg. The original server host stepped down from hosting the game server hosting, a new host stepped up and the server became crowdfunded through the community. A second transfer of server hosting went through with very little fanfare a few months after. Player numbers began to push 85+ players per server, the stations are huge and the game saw an explosion of contributions on github from many new developers, as well as some media attention from [http://i.imgur.com/HpDFNrl.png gaming magazines].

And then on March 1st of 2016 someone stole the gooncode and publically released it - after some deliberation and messages of support from the other codebases, goon decided to make a new public release of their codebase instead of leaving it in a semi legal grey area.

A third server branch of /tg/ was created, using goons code to branch off from the main arm. This went as well as you can expect, the server never picked up a viable player population after the initial honeymoon period, and the server was eventually shut off.
