OT Locked Again
Will we have warnings of the times the OT will be locked in the future- it is becoming frustrating!

Also... Why not put the OT into a free ezboard forum for a while, when it is closed- it can't hurt much.

I think there's some alternatives, but it's just not the same.

Aye, but alternatives can fragment the community.

Oh, are we to be like refugees scattered by winds on the high seas of the internet?!

No since we cant know if we're going to close it or not and when. For example yesterday we didnt have to close it. You might have notice though that it is always some time between 13:00 and 17:00 est

Apolyton suggests FreeFireZone.net

Hmph. It was closed at 21:00... but I suppose I can live with it for a while- but the reason I complain is that I cannot reply to my own thread! I suppose I'll try again later today (the ot is open, but I don't have the time now) but, the closing of the OT really hurts discussions.

Mark... just wondering, when the OT is closed, could you possibly post those alternatives on the "forum closed" page? I know you wouldn't want to lose posters- but it could be a good PR idea
and yes, I am already at FFZ, CGN, (was at CivFanatics as well) (once or twice at ACOL )
