So the crap website designers are going to be working on developing DDI.

Looking forward to the announcement that DDI is dead too.

Maybe they should hire professional programmers instead of professional Magic players.

I still don't understand why Wizards didn't try to partner with an established social networking site if they wanted in on social networking sites. Plenty of people play games on Facebook. Imagine a few simple tools there that would help them to play D&D.

Surely that would benefit the D&D brand more than a long delayed, though admittedly somewhat elaborate set of buggy tools/visualization aids based on a monthly monthly-fee model that doom it before it even hits the market.

From how I read it (thanks, Uzzy!), the forums are still going to be there. The blogs will end up going away.

Awesome! Means more posts for EnWorld.

EnWorld has always been my [digital] intiative.

Exactly. I said pretty much the same thing when they announced it. But everyone thinks they can be the next Google/Facebook/whatever, so instead of piggy-backing they think they can re-invent the wheel and have a captive market.

Ditto. I'd like for the D&D Compendium and for Dungeonn & Dragon to continue to be free resources.

There was content on those forums?

I give Randy a lot of credit for personally assuming a lot of responsibility for this. I hope that this frees up enough resources on their end to do a solid job with the projects they're now focusing on..
