BG might be more thanjust experiencing down time.

"The website you were trying to reach is temporarily unavailable.

Please check back soon.

If you are the owner of this website, please log in for additional
information or contact us as soon as possible."

The login has "suspended" in the url.

Anyways, I've been stashing 3.5 information in an obscure (and safe) gaming forum here. The goal is to move every bit of useful information from BG (which assumably has everything salvagable and useful from 339).

I've gone through the back pages 67-209 more or less carefully. I still have a bunch to info-dump, but if need be I can chew through my 40 or so tabs soonish.

I've also been going through GitP (www.giantitp.com/forums/forumdisplay.php...).

As of about 7pm EST, its been asking for login credentials. So that's good ... I think.

You are a dedicated thread saver, and you have my thanks. Here's to you, and hoping BG doesn't eat the digital bullet just quite yet.

Well, at least there's some news:


Sometime this morning the normally high volume of spam attacks on our boards increased so the hosting company shut down the website.  We got it turned back on, but the boards are still down.
We working to solve the problem right now.

The username pop up is to keep spammers out and your regular name and password will not work.

Is there any way to rescue the PbP forums?

{ ... insert none of these suck and have withdrawal symptoms smiley face ... }


"Autumn_Serene's" twitter page also says they were hacked, or at least had a spam attack.
TML posted a - It looks like you were hacked - warning a coupple of days ago.
(sigh)

Strangely it wasn't the major snow storm power outage.
Or so it seems.

I'm betting on: Cryonax the Evil Elemental Prince of Ice and Snow.
Who (or what) else would have sent so many "minions" after bg ??

Good deal PLZ.


Although, being a 339 optimist, has not proven to be an effective strategy.

Is there any word on when BG might be back up?
