Battletech refugees unite!

That may be to simplify the handling on the server end, although whether it's a good idea or not is a separate issue.

I'm really hoping the Errata threads will be recoverable. *makes a very grim face*

Between the forum archive and Google's cache, you can probably recover a large chunk of them even without Deathshadow's intervention.  I had to do some of that to reconstruct which articles we've had go poof down in the Fan Articles area.  I'm trying to see if I can get Google to spit up the Errata forum index for relatively recently.  It apparently doesn't want to share if it has that.  A lot of the errata threads are in the cache, though.

EDIT: Found it!  This should let you know most of the threads that have changed since the backup the archive is based on, although to be on the safe side, you might want to check all of the threads in the cache anyway, and it's missing Field Report: AFFS.

I can do some more cache digging if you'd like.

Right now all I need is the thread for Technical Readout: 3067, if you could track that down. I don't think it had much, but still best to be sure.

If you can find a link to the page, input that link like this:

Code: [Select]

cache:http://foo.com/bar/
That pulls the cache up directly.  Since I've already got it up, though, I'll send you a link and a PM with the posts from it.

EDIT: Also, despite the forums being offline, CGL released two new BattleTech PDFs today - the long-awaited RS3085U Cutting Edge and Operational Turning Points: Falcon Incursion.

On the less serious side:

I brought home-baked brownies from a box. Who wants some?

*salivates*

I'll take one!

Any idea when the CBT boards will be online again? Looks like we will have to register anew, doesn't it?

Sounds like Deathshadow is in the hospital and that's slowing things down a bit

From the Heavy Metal Pro forums:

So you know, my estimate of going live tonight is a bit off, but I'm determined we'll go live sometime tomorrow.

The delay is mostly due to my health -- I'm posting this on a netbook from the ER on my THIRD bag of saline.

Did we mention the flu sucks? Drinking liquids doesn't help when it's exiting faster than you can add it back in. I feel like I just vacationed in Mexico.

Yeowch.  Sad to hear he's not feeling well.

[purplephoenix]

Oh my Dear! I had no clue... If there's a way wish him all the Best from us!

Are these quotes from his twitter account or something like that?

I'm not sure if he is STILL in the hospital, but he definitely was delayed by a trip there.  So the forums will be back when they're back.

(I work in IT, I know that timetables never go as expected)

It's ALIVE! ALIVE!!! MWAH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

By which of course, I mean that the Battletech forums are up and running again.

Like a barren wasteland after being purged by Blakist fire...

Finally!
I was almost having to do some actual work at work...

Hotmail won't interact, huh? Guess I'll have to start a second email account somewhere. Been a while since I used Yahoo.

[Leaderoforcs]

I... have spent almost enough time on the newly refurbished CBT boards in the last two days.

I'm only three posts behind Wombat.
