ACG Honored the remainder of my subscription with MHQ mag which was a disappointment but fine but their note to me was the magazine was no more.  :'(

I had subscriptions to ACG and MH mags.  I liked MH much better.  What I REALLY liked was MHQ.  That is, until they started putting them out in soft cover rather than hardcover.  I let my subscription lapse after that.

I've always preferred the LnL forums to ACG.

Thanks for starting this thread, Boggit. It saved me the trouble of starting one myself.  O0
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

You're welcome Grey, but Boggit actually posted first. But I'm always happy to help-out a brother Grog.... or take credit for their work. Whatever furthers the Cause.  ::)

Oh wow.  I hadn't been to ACG in a couple weeks, so very surprised to see this happened.  Wonder if they'll get their server issues fixed, or if they're down for good.

I figured.  :P 

I wonder if we'll get an influx here at all.

I doubt it.  Totally different crowd over there.  Of course, if they do, they are certainly welcome.

Wasn't a DDOS - seems to have been internal benign neglect.  It went down by accident, but it seems like the overlords left it off for a few to see if anyone gave a crap.  Turns out they do, so it got turned back on.

Good. I occasionally lurk there, and have some interesting posts.

No worries Greybriar. I know a few of us spend some time over there, and it seemed a kinda odd situation. I'm glad for the sake of their forum members that they are back up, as they have put a lot into their community too.

You guys might consider putting up a flare over there.

I can't speak for Grogheads but I don't think anyone here wants to poach readers over there. However, if a more permanent outage of some sort were to occur there, they would be welcome here (and are in any event). There isn't much of a historical section here (yet) but the mods are responsive and would create whatever structure a bunch of new, enthusiastic readers would like to see.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
