Due to heavy workload commitments over the last 3 months I have been unable to update my website much.

I have posted a blog entry the reasons for this and some possible suggestions as to what may happen in the future.

When the owners of the old HOTT Stronghold shut down someone stepped up with a blog to bring it back in spirit as much as could be done. Why not allow multiple contributors and convert the main site over to your blog.

Also thank you so much for this great service you've offered over the years.

I'm very sorry to hear of this. I have enjoyed the site for years, and I hope some solution is reached.

As much enjoyment as it has brought me, I hate to hear it has come to be such a burden to its creator.

I am with the Beast on this,Perhaps you might consider getting people to contact you when they have published a set of free rules, instead of you having to trawl?

Best wishes in whatever you do in the future!

Your sites is the best site and very important… You should reconsider!

Greetings and thanks for the great support in the last decade

I think your site is great and you've done important work. I would hope you can find some way to off-load work onto others. Perhaps ask for donations to pay for the hosting also.

But as Terrement said, your health and sanity come first. Perhaps you could use period/genre editors? I could do black powder, maybe someone else WWII, etc.

I second Herkybird, get people to contact you with the details.

But whatever the result, thanks for all you have done, it has been of great help to many of us.

And another vote for folks contacting you to host their games.

•Allowing the website to freeze in time and make no further updates

Would be my vote – this is a great resource and has a lot of rules on it already. Not sure it really needs a regular update and it would be shame for it to disappear…

Been on there a few times,found some rather fine wargame rules in there. Hoping it'll still be there.

Pete,

I've published your plight across my blogs and on Lead Adventure.

Here's hoping that we can find a new custodian.

Craig.
