SHUTDOWN INITIATED — GETTING THE HELL OUT OF DODGE
« on: May 01, 2021, 09:15:32 PM »
As some of you may or may not know, I run the PDF-Only Series for BattleTech, own/manage a Production Brewery, and I'm co-owner of a new game company in the process of producing new games.

Because my time is stretched super thin, I've decided to shut OBT down.

Forum attendance is pretty low, and maintaining a crappy server with outdated software outweighs the time it will take to update and upgrade the site and extensions.

I'm sorry if this is not the kind of news you all were hoping for, but it's for the best.  It's been a blast folks, and I wish everyone good health and happiness.

Maybe I'll even see some of you at GenCon or Adepticon.

Just kidding. Had you going didn't I?

But the server is completely fucked and I'm over trying to patch it. I'm going to migrate everything to new hosting that should hopefully fix some of our members' connection issues, as well as Podcast subscription errors. Hopefully, by the time you read this, the forum & part of the website will have already been migrated. In the interim, all of the software has been cleaned and the modifications updated to reflect the latest version of SMF. With any luck, I'll have this sorted by May 4th...

And maybe, just maybe, I'll have some really good news worth sharing...

And it works for me now without any problem.

Each chased the Ice Hellion, hunting it down.
All failed to match the predator's speed and grace.

I spoke too quickly. I had to use my back up solution once more :(

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

I was ready to start posting on a daily basis again if it would have saved the forum, but now I can just go back to posting once a month because... wait I really should be posting here more often anyway.  ;)
