Anyone know what happened to the Forum site the last few days?

They happen from time to time. The host website sometimes gets the problem. These in effect causes the appearance of a DOS event. At least that is the most common reason.

Candlekeep does not own host site.

"Caring for afterwards ...? Ker repeated this without understanding.
"After action, afterwards," the dragon said. "Choose the afterwards first, then the action. Fools choose action first."

Yup, it was some sort of host issue. I know Big Al opened a ticket with them, but I'm not sure if they did anything or if it resolved itself. I just know I tried the site, found it partially loading, did a thing to fix that, and we were back in business.

Would you Admins consider updating the the main Candlekeep site? When I tried to send a message to Alaundo and Wooly notifying them of the outage, it won't send. Thanks!

That's Big Al's call. I understand that it would not be a trivial undertaking.

Yeah. This is something that was discussed about 10 years ago.

It’s a fairly time consuming undertaking. And I know from past experience that Big Al doesn’t have that time available.

gremlins, not goblins. The latter generally stinks the place up and leaves feces and garbage everywhere. The former however is known to sneak about and cause IT issues.

Alavairthae, may your skill prevail
