What Is Moosh.net and Where Did Its Cyberpunk 2020 Utilities Go?
Updated
Moosh.net is a personal compendium of miscellany rather than a commercial service. Its Cyberpunk 2020 utilities for players and admins are still functional on the site in their late-1990s format, while newer materials and development are being moved to a separate host called Mithril & Mages. If you came for the Cyberpunk tools, they remain at Moosh.net for now; if you want the site's newer or migrated content, follow the links to Mithril & Mages.
What Moosh.net actually is
The site describes itself as "A Compendium of Miscellania." Over the years, MOOSH has served as a game host, general-purpose web server, development platform, and email server, and it has provided backup DNS services for friends. The machine's focus changes as needs change, which is why the site presents itself as the same Moosh in a different style rather than a fixed product.
This matters for expectations: there is no pricing page, account system, or service catalog described on the site. Treat it as a personal hobby site with a shifting set of materials, not a platform with a support commitment.
Where the Cyberpunk 2020 utilities are
The Cyberpunk 2020 materials are still hosted locally at Moosh.net. The site states that a small collection of utilities geared toward Cyberpunk 2020 players and admins "are still functional in the late 1990's format." The author plans to keep them local until they are converted to something more web-friendly.
Practical implications:
- Expect an older interface. The utilities are intentionally preserved in their original format, so navigation and layout may feel dated.
- Availability is tied to the local host. Because these files remain on the local machine, they depend on that host staying reachable.
- Conversion is planned but not complete. Once the materials are converted, they are expected to move; until then, Moosh.net is the place to look.
Where migrated and new materials live
Newer content and ongoing development are being moved to Mithril & Mages, a host on a website provider. The stated reason is reliability: being on the back-end of an unreliable DSL connection is not a suitable place for utility software or a web server, so the new host is meant to provide faster and more efficient access to materials once hosted at Moosh.net.
The division of labor described on the site:
| Content type | Where to find it |
|---|---|
| Cyberpunk 2020 utilities (current format) | Moosh.net, locally hosted |
| Converted Cyberpunk materials | Planned to move once web-friendly |
| New developments and tests | Tested at Moosh.net, then migrated to Mithril & Mages |
| RPG-related blog posts and announcements | Mithril & Mages, within the author's blog framework |
| Random general materials | May exist on either site or both |
The site also notes that the author's RPG-related ramblings were previously hosted at KORPG Games and were removed after the author withdrew; those thoughts now appear at Mithril & Mages.
How to navigate between the two sites
- Start at Moosh.net if you want the Cyberpunk 2020 utilities in their original form.
- Check the menu links. The site says menu links are being updated and tweaked as needed, so the current menu is the authoritative pointer to what is local versus external.
- Follow links to Mithril & Mages for converted materials, new utility announcements, and blog posts.
- Check both sites for general materials, since the site explicitly says random materials may exist "here, there or on both sites."
A common snag: because content is mid-migration, a link may point to a page that has already moved or not yet arrived. If something is missing at one site, check the other before assuming it is gone.
What to expect and what not to
- Do expect a small, personally maintained collection with a long history and a clear Cyberpunk 2020 focus.
- Do expect change: the author states the machine's focus shifts over time and that links will be adjusted.
- Don't expect a commercial product page, pricing, or account features; none are described on the site.
- Don't assume the Cyberpunk utilities will stay at Moosh.net indefinitely; conversion and migration are stated goals, not completed work.
For Cyberpunk 2020 players and admins, the practical answer is simple: the tools are still at Moosh.net today, and Mithril & Mages is where the site's future content is heading.
