Peter-

thanks for the head-up, and the current status (and for you follow-up, 
Scott).

Besides losing all the old posts, I'm also sad that the World's greatest 
rReposityry of Lerpadisms may have also be lost.  /That's/ a tragedy! :-(

It strikes me that there are folk on the mailing list who may be
wondering just what is going on with the forum server.
  <br>
  <br>
Wonder no more.
  <br>
  <br>
It's broke!
  <br>
  <br>
But you knew that. The executive summary is that the server's disk
array went south, we lost the database of the old forums (so when it
comes back, you won't be seeing the old posts, unfortunately). Thanks
to Scott A, whose continuing dedication to the server is earning him
the right to buy me many pints of beer should he ever venture over
here, the server is *soon* to be back.
  <br>
  <br>
The temporary server at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://iwt.mikevitale.com:8080/gaming/main.iwt">http://iwt.mikevitale.com:8080/gaming/main.iwt</a>
remains online, and that database will be transferred to chutney (the
real IWT server) when it goes live.
  <br>
  <br>
In the hope of keeping a few more people informed of what's going on, I
created a Facebook group (cunningly titled "IWETHEY", you'll never find
it) so that there's one more way of spreading the word when things
happen.
  <br>
  <br>
It's an open group, so free entry to all.
  <br>
  <br>
Thanks go to Scott A and Mike V, for their efforts with the server and
the new, shiny forum software.
  <br>
  <br>
Regards
  <br>
  <br>
Peter.
