Talk to Stan maybe.... I don't think that it's necessary to keep it up-to-date, but I think that if it's not going to be updated, then it needs to say that the Xconq project has moved to SourceForge.

If there is a link to the SourceForge site given on the old site, I'm not sure that this will be a problem. Eventually, other sites that reference the Xconq project will (hopefully) figure out that we've moved the project and update their links, thus making the new site appear at the top of the results when Googl'ed, and finally allowing us to take the old site down.
