Yea, I noticed that too. I'm thinking if it stays down for an extended period, an announcement might be in order at the Vault and/or the official forums to make people aware that this is here as a backup until things get straightened out. I might be a bit busy today, though, to get that up if somebody else wants to do it.

Also, once I get done some wedding stuff, and then get my module ready for my campaign game tomorrow, I'm going to play around a bit and see if there's any way I can get a scheduling feature up, as a stop-gap until NWC is back up. Don't hold your breath, though.

I'm starting to think that the site may be down for awhile, Venture, so anything you can do to get this one up and running will be appreciated. I wish there was a way we could block the idiots from attacking the site. :evil:

Thanks for setting this up. I'm going to announce it to my players by Email and PM at NWC. Anyone got any clever ideas about a backup method for scheduling games?

I've found some options for scheduling in some CMS systems (Joomla and Drupal), that I think I can tie into the same login as the forums, although it will take a bit more time for me to get it figured out. They probably won't be perfect though, so if anybody has any ideas, let us know. I can definitely get something up (famous last words) that would allow scheduling and sign-ups, as I'm using something like that on my campaign site. What I'm trying to figure out is a way to allow scheduling by invitation only, too. I'll have another crack at it in the a.m.

Well, it looks like NWC has been stable the past few days so hopefully the attacks have passed. Of course, those script kiddies/malcontents may decide to renew their attacks and we'll no longer have NWC. Thanks for setting this up, Venture.

TBH... i'd rather just use this forum. i like all the bells and whistles. but that's just me, and i don't think anyone would move over here as long as NWC is still functional.

but thanks for getting it all set up Venture. at least we have someplace to fall back to.

Yes, this is a PERFECT fall back (and a good 'back room' for those who want to use it even while nwc is up).

I think, given the nature of script kiddies and the like, we should continue to press to flesh this thing out.

Be well. Game on.
