WohlSoft
WohlSoft Community - A community site founded by Wohlstand in the year 2014 as the official community of Moondust Project. Later, the forum site got moved from engine.wohlnet.ru (Wohlstand's home server) to wohlsoft.ru. WohlSoft is primarily maintained by its founder Wohlstand.
History
The first site was built in February of 2014'th year as a very simple personal developer page of Wohlstand to indicate the progress of his research and initial Moondust Editor (originally called PGE Editor) development work. On the 15th of February, PGE Forums has been launched.
Eventually, the main page was turned into PGE Project's main page and all research documents were been moved to a separate page called "Documents".
To improve the overall international performance, the site was moved from personal Wohlstand's home server at his flat in the Moscow into a shared hosting platform at Masterhost hosting company. With this, a new domain wohlsoft.ru has been created.
Approximately in the 2016'th year, the site was been reworked: the main page was turned into a news page; the PGE Project page was made as a separate one.
In March 2020, the war of owners of the Masterhost company was started. That resulted in serious faults at dozen of websites including WohlSoft.[1] To repair the work of the WohlSoft site, Wohlstand had to download the whole content of the WohlSoft that had the 27 GB size and moved it back to his home server temporarily. After some days, Wohlstand had to place the WohlSoft at the Zenon hosting company where his friend works. To avoid hosting quota overflow, the archive.wohlsoft.ru was created at Wohlstand's home server to store all his archives and old releases of his software separately from the main place of the WohlSoft.
In the summer of 2021, the gradual rebranding was started where all "PGE" references getting replaced with "Moondust" since the PGE Project gets rebranded as Moondust Project.
Fun facts
- The "WohlSoft" title has come from an accidental mistake made at the credits for SMBX2 in its early development stages (the confusion between "Kevsoft" and "Wohlstand"). That mistake has been fixed, however, the idea was gotten, and the new domain name got the "wohlsoft" as a title.
