Anyone have any word when JOL will be back online? I'm going through cold turkey and I nooo like it.
Maybe they are getting rid of the "null-bots" and/or adding the extra card sets
Agreed, down for too long, and I have the most of my decks saved there.
Heard seething from KMJ that apparently the disk is full, no idea who the hosting company is but sounds like it might be an issue with them.
Oh well, I'm going to try get some games going on Lackey, anyone in?

There, I fixed that for you. There is only one admin, and he does it as a volunteer project. The problem is that there is zero security vetting for new users, so bots auto add themselves with no problems what so ever. Also, h owner of the site refuses to allow any help to be given for recoding the site.

I know, and it's a shame considering the number of people wanting to help (including myself at one time. I gave up after a few months of sending proposal for help and receiving no answer at all).
It can only work if either someone handles it seriously, or if multiple persons help a little.
But I hope for those that are still on JOL that it will get fixed soon.

I dunno about cheaper. I donated both times Kevin asked and I reckon at least 10 others did as well based on the responses in the chat window.
I would be happy to pay $5/$10 a month to play no worries, and I reckon heaps of people would as well, just be nice if as Ankha said George replied to offers of help.

Back up, however, this has left me with a serious question fr you guys
vekn.net/forum/5-generic-vtes-discussion/71654-online-play-by-mail-alternative#71654
That thread discusses creating an alternative to jol, let me know if you would be interested, and if yes, in what way you would be interested in helping.
