I hear Obsidian Portal for PbP
Wiki for all the Resources
Rpg.net or ENworld or Criticalfumble.net for discussions.
It's too bad we can't find one place for it all - although, pbp can be done on any of these sites, I suppose.
Still no good ideas for all the resources that are hidden in the various threads on this site. I think most of the abandoned pbp games can just be trashed. But I'll be going through a bunch of mine and copying stuff I need. Even my Inbox has NPCs I need.
@Sanctaphrax: Any word about archiving stuff?
I'd like to make a plan and start moving.

People on the future of the forum forum are talking about creating a successor forum. It's possible we can just copy everything over and continue more or less unaffected.
So I've kinda been sitting around hoping the problem will go away. I guess if there's no action in a week or so, I'll have to get off my butt. Iago said we have until the end of the year, but no sense cutting it close.

The database must be somewhere and therefore it must be possible to make a copy (image or whatever).

I'll shoot a PM to Priscellie, see what the options are.

It's been a week or so, and I've heard nothing. This looks hopeful, though.
Anyway, using this software I've been able to make what I think is a functional archive. Not sure how to go about sharing it without revealing my login information or letting you all browse my PMs, though.
Wolfeyes:
Late but thank you, Sanctaphrax, for maintaining this. I've always wanted to run something with this game but held off due to lack of players and inexperience as a DM. Recent stuff has cleared up so finally wanted to run a game for Christmas, but found out forums would be closing before then and all these resources would be gone. It's incentive to finish planning sooner than later but I'd be nice to be able to go back to things later and give it a more thorough look, if we go from one-shots to long-term.
Sanctaphrax:
Turns out the archive I had wasn't so functional after all. It had the front page of each forum, but that's about it; I only thought it had the rest because it automatically sent me to the actual web page when I went to something it didn't have archived.
I've made a blank user here named Archive and I've got my computer working on a proper download linked to it. But I'm not sure it'll work. Four hours and 1.45 GB in, my computer claims to have around 17000 files written. Which is, I think, probably less than 10% of this place.
I suspect that even if I'm able to archive the whole site, I'll have a hard time sharing access to it.
Obviously not giving up, though. I'll keep you all posted on my progress or lack thereof.
