[QUOTE="Mark, post: 3707832, member: 5"] See, that seems a bit odd to me, since you can explain what happened and fully expected it to happen and I can explain what happened and fully expected it to happen and . . . In any event, it is certainly true that WotC boards go down with a fair amount of frequency, as well. Now, do not get me wrong, I am a fan. Switched with each edition since 1974 and will no doubt be in the front ranks trying out the virtual tabletop. I've used a PDA at the table for years and use a laptop these days. I can even imagine myself as someone who gets a persistent connection to make my laptop even more usable. So I am, despite my age ;), definitely in the target market for WotC's goods. On the other side of the coin, I am not just a fan but a dependent of sorts. My company rides the coattails of WotC and, with the announcement of 4E continuing to support the OGL and d20 license, it will continue to diaper my baby, as is said. So, I am doubly in their corner when comes to the success of WotC and the future of D&D. However, what WotC is embarking on is a new business model that will include having people pay a monthly fee and if the site goes down then, it is no longer a matter of saying, "Oops! We just were not ready for the turn out." So, I feel it is a concern and I have to look at this as an indicator that they are not quite on top of things just yet. I will continue to cheer them on and watch as things develop. [/QUOTE]
