Has this site really been down for 2 months? I assumed tmo would notice and let me know.

Not sure how to proceed at this point. Taking suggestions, assuming anyone is still out there to suggest anything.

Given that all realms are finished, I guess everybody is just waiting for a reset

[SoupOrMan]

Hard to contact the admins to let them know the site is down when the site is down

I'd recommend giving people a little time, maybe 5 days, to notice you're back in business. In that time decide a date the next round will go live, try to spread the word appropriately, and whenever next round begins people will get their LORD on again.

Cheers

tmo has been stupid busy for three months, so...

That's why this place has that real smart e-mail alert service...

[blue dragon]

Please send out email and tweet and reset.

Wow, this place is still here? Hey TMO, , reset the fucking realms already

[a fishstick]

Le roi, c'est mort.

I can reset the realms if tmo's not around, but (afaik) don't have access to his email list to notify everyone.

[exitzero]

That's fine... I think if it doesn't get reset now while you're around, it'll never get reset. If it was me, I'd reset it today. Really no notice required since there's probably about 10 people max who even play this game anymore, unfortunately.

[keu]

Yeah, please do.

So the site is back up and the test realm was working but.... now telnet cannot connect for the past 3 or 4 days. I am sure I will be deleted from the realm again. Not being ugly here but is this site sadly going away?

It is, and has been for years. Should we keep starting new rounds until there are only a few people left?

I'd like to stop maintaining this at some point, but would like to preserve whatever community is left. Any suggestions?

Also, when should the new round start? We should probably decide on a date and just post it on the site.

Falk's site has a well functioning Lord setup, which probably would be the best alternative. Problem is to get people to move there instead of just quit playing.

As for the new round, I'm tempted to say New Year, but if you can't access the email alert, one week should probably be needed for people to notice. So suggesting Friday 5th.

I for one will be sorry to see this site go, but I can understand the maintenance side too. Thanks for all the great years that you have had this site going. It has been a blast form the bbs past for sure. Maybe do a final round? Let everyone have one last go

[exitzero]

I wish we could just implement falks setup on here. Maintenance free. Or even just have a forum here redirecting people to falk's site. Perhaps have the telnet say nuklear is shut down with a link to falks site.

http://lord.gear.host I'll start playing there again when a new round starts.

Yeah, a redirect would probably be a good idea. There should probably be some documentation at Falk's site, now the changes and all relevant stuff are baked into the Nuke forums. Also some kind of admin contact possibility would be needed in case there's some real downtime or such, to avoid yet another limbo.

Just as a heads-up, the Forest realm will restart there in a few days.
