www.arelith.com urls are broken with "account suspended" page
As the subject says. Yesterday evening (UK time) the "www.arelith.com" URLs started failing for me, redirecting to an "account suspended" page:

http://www.arelith.com/cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi

"arelith.com" (without the initial "www.") still works fine.

My primary forum bookmark uses the "www." address and has been working without problem until yesterday.

"Forum/Website" Option for "Location"
Basically, introduce an option to set an issue as being "Forum/Website" on the Issue Tracker, as opposed to "Multiple Servers" or a specific server.

So what's with the website?
Hey all, apologies for the slight technical problems with the website through most of today. Still, it's not all bad - as a result the whole thing has sped up fairly significantly. You'll also notice that the front page and players' handbook are back, as well as the shortcut icon. The menus are a bit out of sync, and some of the pages may be a little outdated now, but Rome wasn't built in a day. So enjoy the speed boost.
I have often been told "the DMs don't care". What people fail to realize is that the DMs never reveal the details of any punitive actions taken, other than to those said actions are taken against. If a tree falls and nobody is around to hear it...

A new way of wasting time!
You can now add profile information for yourself. Like mine, for instance. I've gone down the unoriginal route and recycled the fields from the old fora. Anyway, you can head over to your user page and click edit, then start dreaming up some clever things to put.

Question on Old Forum
Just curious if the Old Forum is gone for good?

Arelith Wiki is back! Again!
After a while of being stuck on the temporary site, I've just restored Arelith Wiki. It's available at the usual address: http://wiki.arelith.com/

There will be some things missing. In particular, the logo has vanished, and most of the images are missing again. Also the category pages need recreating. I think we might also be missing a few required extensions... if you see anything not showing up correctly let me know and I'll have a look at the page in question and install the right extension.

Ask An Admin locked?! What?
Yes, AAA is locked. At least for now. This afternoon I decided to do some updates, fixed all the bugs I could remember, then set about plowing through the forums.

It was a pain. So, to make the developers' lives easier, we now have an issue tracking system! Huzzah!

So, next time you have a bug report or need help, give it a try: open up the issue tracker and click "Create a new issue". In theory this should make searching for open bugs much, much easier, and turn problems from "yet another discussion thread" to "something that actually gets looked at".

Bout of Activity
A bit of a forum face-lift.

Use the General Reference for postings on regions/out of game information you have found useful. Try to keep it neat and clean. Also feel free to use it as a place to congregate Wiki stuff.

The PRC requests is pretty self-explanatory.

DM's also got a few new treats.

So, what's this all about?
Welcome to the temporary boards! The idea here is to have something to fall back on if ever the main website suffers prolonged downtime like it is at the moment. In other words, this will always be in the background as a "just in case" measure.

This time we suffered another hard disk failure. Jess has decided to part ways with her old host because of recent reliability problems, and has just set up with a new host. She is having a bit of a hectic time at the moment, so it will probably be at least a few days before the main website is up.

Thanks for your patience.
