the company hosting the Fantasyherlad website seems to be going out of business, with no warning. Brad has offereed to let my hijack some of his board .. again .. until i figure out what i need to do to get the site running. right now i'm fighting timeouts to download databases there ..
i doubt i will see the money i have involved coming back to me, but i should be able to find some cheap hosting and set things up again in a short amount of time. luckily having a domain name i can truck things around easily without worrying about changing exteranl links.

The curious thing is that the regular website for the hosting company is back up and there is no mention of the frontpage anouncing their demise .. but the link to customer support isn't working. so it is possible they got hacked and are overwealmed with CS

i think i've found a host for FH .. if all goes well i will make the transition by the end of the weekend. what will be tricky is keeping the everything as 'up' as possible while the magic numbers filter through the DNS servers.

haha .. the drama is over. The new site is coming up, i had a small snafu with my message boards but it is something i can fix if i need to ..
i have much more space and bandwidth than before, and as i was going through some of the files here i got to thinking of my RPG and trying to get it into a coherent form.
I also got to experience another forums software from the installation point of view .. sorta .. phpBB , it has a few less features than the iB we use here, but i think it is better supported .. and i managed to get my old iB database installed into it in less than five minutes .. so if something dreadfull happens to this software there is yet another alternative (for now it is a big ole -ain't broke don't fix it- )
what else can i ramble about ? the new site comes with a couple different chat programs, a php and a javachat. the phpchat i got to look at at another site and it was very chunky and slow, the javachat may be better suited to gaming things.
i'd like to thank brad for sort of standing by while i muddled around getting this all straightened out. it was nice to know if i had to dump some files somewhere or had to open a forum i had a place to do it at.

Hey din, you are all propogated (that sounds naughty) and FH is coming up nice. I'm looking forward to looking at the new boards when you get done.

Junket
i'm still working on some things there .. it was mostly just a sort of catch all for a wide variety of things and a couple games that could no longer be played in person.
i run a fine line sometimes because i do not want it to be redundent of stuff here.
