Oh where did all the old settings go?

[Yair]

I've been trying to link to planewalker.com (Planescape) and birthright.net (Birthright), with no success. Anyone knows what's up with any of them?

Looks like the account has been suspended at planewalker.com. Nice of them to let the entire world know. How embarrasing.

White Wolf just lost Ravenloft too.
Is wizards reclaiming their wandering IP?
What does this mean for dragonlance and Sovergin Press?
Tune in next week for none of the answers to these exciting questions.

Ravenloft has a well crowded fan site (check my sig) so it's not undead yet

What does this mean for dragonlance and Sovergin Press?

Not a thing. Dragonlance and Sovereign Press are doing just fine, and the Dragonlance Nexus is still alive and kicking.

I managed to get to Birthright.net just fine, though I was surprised that the URL took me directly to their forum.

I'm guessing that Planewalker just has some billing issues.

Beyond the Moons (Spelljammer.org) is doing just fine as well.

As far as Ravenloft, I'm not in the know, but my guess would be that the license expired, and they decided not to renew it. Just a guess, though.

I don't think that WotC is on some big crusade to "reclaim" all their IPs.

Yes this came out of nowhere, no I don't know exactly what the issue is. However...

Planewalker is alive, and we're trying to currently figure out what's the issue with the host. Billing shouldn't have been an issue, unless someone literally just either forgot to send a payment on time, or the host didn't handle it on their end for whatever reason. In any event, if payment was the issue, a number of folks, myself included are willing to cut a check to resolve it.

Clueless would know more, and she's been in contact with the host folks over this, as well as with Ken who handles the payment stuff.

Hmmm, nust have been a temporary glitch. It works now for me too.

Any update on Planewalker? It's says its down for technical difficulties. Was any of the data lost?

No data lost AFAIK, and Clueless is working on fixing the problem however work has kept her largely busy for the past week and a half with other coding stuff that had deadlines on them. She'll be working on getting PW back up now that those other things are finished.
