[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 8064264, member: 52734"] If there had been actual content on the TSR website, I could totally agree about saving that content and auctioning the site off to keep up. With it having just been a redirect (and looking like that's been the case since at least 1997), I'm fine with it going back into the wild for someone to reuse. Though I wouldn't be against someone putting up an internet TSR museum (something like the Acaeum - [URL="http://www.acaeum.com/index.html"]The Acaeum[/URL]), I'd be all for them reusing the TSR domain. I'm 50 now, and started playing back in about '80, long before all the digital stuff started to appear, so that may be why I don't have as much nostalgia for the URL, forgive me. But I've seen the game go through a lot of change and I'm just happy that where the game has settled right now is something I really, really enjoy. Really, when 4E came out, I thought the company was through with grognards like me, with 5E I feel like I'm back in the family again. And there's an amazing number of on-line tools (by the publishing company no less!) that takes a lot of the sting and prep time out of keeping up a modern game. BTW, 3E did have something similar to the 2E compendiums - there was a Magic Item Compendium, Spell Compendium and a Rules Compendium. I have them in storage, but I'm not 100% sure they were quite as exhaustive as the 2E versions. [/QUOTE]
