Stars! AutoHost
First and foremost, Stars! AutoHost is an automatic web based host for the game Stars!. Running since May 1997, it has grown to be much more than that. Hosted by Ron Miller, SAH was built on the ideas and core code of Thomas Tong and his Stars! TurnXChange. Since the start of SAH, Ron has adapted, heavily modified, and improved the PERL cgi code received from Thomas Tong. Including Home World Forum, SAH has grown to become the single best place to find other Stars! players, share ideas and organise games. Other provided services: KN-2050 central computer (downloads), Starbase Epsilon-42 (links to other Stars! sites) and Player Postcards from around the world.

Andre
A good friend of Ron's with whom he played Stars! and started AutoHost. Andre created the Host Utility and did the HTML layout for the Stars! AutoHost website. While he hasn't been able to help out with AutoHost for several years now, he still gets emailed when AutoHost freezes and theoretically has the ability to unfreeze it.
