    Ironcrown.com is down...again(an annual affair).

    In this day and age, it is sad that the webmaster for ICE just can't seem to have the foresight to pay for their website hosting without the site and forum boards going down every few months to a year(however long they tend to pay for it to be up for at a time).

    To me, this is more a statement of commitment level than anything else, but kind of an embarrassment to a company(and especially their fans promoting the gospel that is ROLEMASTER(tm)) with such a storied history as they have.

    I am saddened, yet again, for the ICE Management team and offer my services to click a button on the webhosting's company's website that allows for Automatic Renewal in perpetuity - or until they go belly up, if that occurs...not joking, though it may seem tongue in cheek as I try to make light of a very serious situation that occurs with an alarming trend.
    That, or to move their website to another hosing service with just such a button nested within the webhosting company's Accounts page.

    From a concerned and avid fan of RM since the late 80s.

    Maybe they are working hard at getting Unified out for 2047.

    What I find amusing about this is that Terry's website has never had such problems. When one lone designer can do it, you'd figure the larger company could figure it out too.

    This could turn into a roast, quickly.
    We could get professionally paid for this!

    Well, that is just it.
    I am not formally trained in anything computer related but have, or had, an eidetic memory and love for trial and error ripping things apart and putting them back together and see if I can break something.
    The first thing one can do is flip a toggle to auto-debit a bank account/c card for another 1-3-6-12 or multiple of 12 months for webhosting and/or domain name registration.
    Even without paying ahead of time, a nag email warning can be setup for any email account if one wishes only to pay monthly, even.

    Anyway, here's to never seeing this 404 redirection screen in the future history of our beloved RPG game owners!

    Majyk IT is hard.

    Sometimes clicking a widget or fidget you can get a wrong digit
    Even a Click or Stlich can be a very hard pick.
    But when you confuse you Glox with a box, you really are lost.
    I outsource my ITch, to a really haughty B......

    Yup been reading too much Dr Seuss lately to my kids.
