OBW looks like it's on its way out
« on: December 13, 2007, 12:44:20 am »
*sigh* Last time I checked in on OBW, the forums looked as though they'd been a victim of a hacker and had lost their lovely 'Magus-esque' periwinkle background. Thankfully, my collab fanfic/rpg stuff is still safe in the roleplay forum, but for how much longer is unknown (I really need some time to save all of it, but I'm not sure how to go about it).

It just distresses me, since its one of my most beloved fansites. I have considered buying the site from its owner (Tekniklr), but I have no idea how much it would cost me to do it. Bleagh, I'm in such a tizzy over it, I'm getting a headache.

You might as well ask.

Last time I was there, I insulted some mannerless, idiot IcyBrianer for getting pissy with Captain B, and never looked back.

The Wayback Machine doesn't retrieve lost content (believe me, I tried; hoped I'd be able to snag more rare CT artwork from the website Square Gallery, but alas, I can't - not even the other game art that was there was obtainable).

*sigh* Well, wish me luck right now - I'm discussing about gaining ownership of OBW.

That wasn't OBW. Nothing ever happened there, did it? If so, nobody gave a damn to do anything about it. Even still, OBW is about to collapse. It might be for the better. Like Magus and Mog, maybe it's time for OBW to leap from this mortal coil.

It was some thread in the Miscellaneous forum.
