Or... It could be software versioning issues, absolute links, relative links, graphic changes, DNS records, IP address conflicts, mail setup, the largest convention of the year in 3 days, packing for a week on the road, finalizing fall products, negotiating with the hard-ass Operations Manag.... umm... wait, not that one. There are many reasons, but we are putting quite a bit of effort into figuring out the issues and getting everything fixed (hopefully without causing many additional issues). Adam, Andrew, Scott, and the team at our top-notch web host are all working on the issues. There's no logical reason that one must assume legal issues are holding things up. |

But at the end of the day, the site code still belongs to FanPro, and without their agreement, it's not going anywere.

I would be careful with this statement...
Fanpro hasn't the license anymore so I'm asking myself if they still retain the usage rights for shadowrunrelated material like the content of the english shadowrun website. Anybody here who can shed some light on the whole copyright / license stuff? |

Before you guys go on a mile-long tangent: all the material on the site is owned by WizKids. The "original contents" line was just a catch-all for non-Shadowrun content, in case, for some reason, non-SR content was uploaded temporarily.

Just so that I am not misunderstood, I was replying to
As someone whose been dealing with the web and website issues since Mosaic and the "web" starting taking over from gopher, I was strictly speaking about establishing a site with the basics of the online presence that existed at shadowrunrpg.com and hosted all the Missions Campaigns. absolute links, relative links, IP address conflicts, mail setup are all easily mitigated. The transfer of the original DNS record is of course a tricky legal matter, but the establishment of a secondary DNS record takes mere minutes. In any case, I don't want to add any stress. Thanks for the update and good luck with those last four (especially that last item.. ;) ) |

Having been both the victim of (and occasional cause of) several botched registrar switches over the years, I understand there are several points of failure: missed authorization emails, unresponsive folks in the food chain, auth codes that don't work, auth codes that worked but were acted upon too late, etc. Since I find it hard to believe that the FanPro folks would haggle over or refuse to transfer the domain (or just change the DNS record for that matter), I'm assuming it's one of the points of failure above. But the lack of an official word is tearing me apart. =) Yes, I'm that pathetic. In the spirit of tangent prevention, which I am a big fan of, can you shed more light on the issue? =) |

By the time the web site fixes were more or les resolved, full GenCon panic was going on. I imagine it'll go up on the web site this week. However, if you need your fix, drop me an e-mail at shadowrunmissions@gmail.com. I'll get it out to you as soon as I can. |

Question??????
As a Commando I made the decision to get business cards made so that my players at my firebase and at conventions would have a nice handy list of websites to check out. I put Catalyst on it I put Shadowrun on it I put Battletech on it I put the fourms for both on it I put my firebase on it and lastly my email addy. Now after I did all that the website for Shadowrun has changed so that my cards are no longer correct. So my question is will the previous site ever be back to bing the offical Shadowrun site or is this new one going to remain? Also I have a question I have submited a couple of times and so has a player of mine nither of us has gotten an answer using the link at the bottom of the SR4 site for emails is there somewhere else we need to send our questions? |
