a new era begins

A new era begins 

It has been a while since I posted here. Last year I retired from work, and I have been busy. We have been getting our house in order, we have bought a Motor Caravan and we have been away seeing the sights and having adventures.

Last week, after nearly thirty years online I closed my web account and deleted my home web site. 

My website www.loran.karoo.net has been completely removed, Slammer Rules and Army lists, along with the TFT Codex 2000, Loran campaign and all my other Web pages. 

My Internet provider changed hands a few years ago. Apparently, they decided to stop hosting websites back then. Existing sites including mine remained online, but I was unable to access it or make changes. I was not notified and had assumed it was a technical issue or my password. As I didn't need to update much it was more an inconvenience to me.

I contacted my provider about updating the site. This was when they told me they had stopped web hosting. I decided to close my account and was told it would end in early March. The next morning it had already gone.

 

Now the good news. 

  1. I have backups. If there is any interest I could restore my site or pages with another host.
  2. My blog site is still online (Here). I will create new pages for my games rules on the blog in due course. Slammer is back online already in a truncated form.
  3. I am in discussions with a well known game designer and publisher about a new edition of Slammer. I will provide more news as soon as I have any.
Please contact me directly if you have any comments or queries.

Cheers,


Chris
