Optional Realities & Project Redshift

They are running phpBB, so a grand number of things may have happened.

Did this die or something?
Nope. It didn't die. There were just some serious server-side issues that took the site down for a few days. OR decided to use that as an excuse to take some time to re-engineer the website and forums. It should be back up this weekend.

Not that I have any vested interest in OR, but from one server admin to another, that seems like a silly thing to do when you could have just shown a maintenance page or a simple placeholder page announcing your upgrades to the general public. phpBB in fact has a maintenance mode built in.
Edit: Also, development instances. Have you heard of them? (Said all server admins everywhere)

There's another thing that seems to bridge Mud and Mush:
-
Some sort of notification notice/update on the OR address about what is happening would be useful whenever technically possible.

I'll forward your thoughts to Jeshin, as I'm not a server admin myself.

Hey,
Sorry for being personally absent from this community for so long. Real life tied with difficulties in Project Redshift's development a long with a complete loss of our webserver kind of hit me pretty hard. Even though that has only been occurring in the last 1.5 weeks leading up to it wasn't much better.
I have slept, we have worked, our direction has been updated.
http://optionalrealities.com/ --- new website and new mission statement
http://optionalrealities.com/forums/ --- new forum and we really liked nodebb so we used it. -

We also... you knew took a very hard look at our mission statement and our goals and we updated those too. Probably a bigger deal >_> and more likely to be something this community is going to appreciate.
TLDR - All text-based games including MU*, Interactive fiction, roguelikes, and other unspecified types have equal ability to advertise and equal tools to do so on the site with no subforums existing anymore except by "type"

Hey.
I don't know if this got lost in the shuffle (shuffle, noise, vitriol), but I never minded the idea of anyone saying, "Hey, this thing is awesome and we want to feature it." I think it's a great community-building idea, and I hope you keep doing it. Even if people disagree, they will know what you think is good.
The big explosion over ideas was because of the prerequisites.
That is all.
