I had the same idea after posting that reply above. I'm sure I've got some of their email address here somewhere, as I would sometimes have the opportunity to talk to them privately over MSN IM as well. I'll have to check.

Hey... we use acid here  . We can't have any open flames in use around here with all these scrolls  .

Of course, his work was always one of the reasons I visited regularly over there as well. As well as Shadowfoot, there were also a few other posters who always seemed to provide a moderate frequency of highly informative posts... or were simply a fountain of good ideas. But now unfortunately, they seem to have just disappeared altogether.
Perhaps the same people who closed the Novels board got to them.

Well, you should have no problem telling us, then. |

I just was able to connect and view the FR board. Thus, perhaps the "problems" are resolved. |

But soon, World of D&D will outstrip them! It might take a year . . . or two . . . or ten . . . . um . . . Fooey.

*snorts* But are you really missing all that much by the boards being down? 
Well, the WotC boards can get emotional, but I find them often more energetic than our own. There, a post gets many opinions and viewpoints, while here it's not too common to get more than one or two interested posters. Obviously, for all things FR Candlekeep is the place to be, but for rule-type queries and all homebrew, WotC has a lot to offer. |

Like that is a problem, considering what in general I have seen and seen posted about those forums? |

I'm dealing with that also. I haven't seen any signs claiming it's being tweaked, which is the usual reason it can't be accessed, so we'll just have to wait it out. |
