Just found this in the Trade area on the WotC boards:

"We are taking the forums down on Tuesday, August 18th for approximately one week. We are pleased to announce that we’re upgrading to a new community platform. On the 18th, we will begin the process of migrating our forums to a system that includes new features such as friends lists, groups, a calendar and invitation system, blogs, and wikis. We’re sorry for the inconvenience, but excited about the new features!"

Wizard's forum will be down for a week, so make sure to keep information on existing trades on a file with information for you to reference on the cards, addresses, and so on. Many of you will likely want to delay trades until the forums are back up. I suggest you all use alternate communication methods this week as well to contact traders you are working with.

Thanks for the heads up!

I'm having a GLEEMAX flashback. AGHHHHH!!!!

Interesting news. Good thing I don't have anything going right now. And most of my tradeing is done via the Milk at this point.

Woo hoo!! Max influx of new members and visitors starting tomorrow!

Someone who has WOTC access, needs to go post a new message on the SWM General area over there and make sure to tell people to come over here if they need their fix while the main boards are down.

Nice idea Lobo. Done!

Well, I'm glad SWM and SW RPG warranted a Facebook page. Oh, wait...

They hate us.

The second link, if you read near the top, is Information about the local SWM gaming scene in Lafayette / West Lafayette, Indiana


So obviously, by that particular gaming group.

That 2nd link would be Les' group then. I think he's been keeping more than just local info on that one. I know that quite a few of us non-Lafayette people have been invited to join that group as well.

That puts a lot of things into perspective, doesn't it?

*faceplam* D'oh

If it makes you feel better, I first looked at who the 'officers' were, then read the info, then scrolled all the way to the top to find that little nugget.

Did you expect anything different? I didn't that's for sure. And why would they advertise for here or the Milk? We're clearly not as cool as Facebook.

nor as official

The forums will be down until at least August 26, and possibly through the end of the month.


I'm guessing they are going to be down for the rest of the month
