Hellscrag.net definitely to close

Logical approach.
But if only the hosting is a problem (cost of domainname and hosting itself), why not take a free host? I have had forums on free host for years but had to quit because of bandwidth and storage restrictions, but these days the allowance is usually more than sufficient for relatively small site and forum.


I need pretty effective database management tools to remount what is actually a very large database. Even then, I would have to manually break up the SQL file into small bits to do it (without access to my own web server). In any event, I don't personally get what's so important about the old forum after such a long period of time, aside from some old MOTWs.

I was never there when it was the main forum, and some of those posts and threads might be useful or interesting to people like me or people who didn't have time to retrieve things they might have considered important, like if they come around later after the removal of hellscrag.net. It just might be more convenient for you not to store it anywhere, but I happen to know that some amount of people might still like to be able to access the old threads if there's something there that isn't here.

I still laugh when reading those poll threads in the old Red Nemesis forum section.

We've survived a complete loss of the forums twice now; I think we can handle the "controlled demolition" of an archive ;)

Most of the critical information from the old database has been reposted here, often with updates, and anything else can be asked for and someone will probably be able to answer.

I loved the "RD goes Commercial" thread with the in-game pic.

I for one am glad it's still up. Without it, I would have never found Shinigami to ask him about Shinigami Level Pack 2 :P 8)
