I can't thank you enough St. Michael! However you did it, thank you so much!!

I PM'd Mortekai. He updated the database. That should help fix things. If it doesn't, let me know. I can fix broken links, but it'll take some time, since I have to do it by hand.

I commented on one of his blog posts on the forum there, we'll see what happens with that.

But yea, seems the forums side of that site has been having issues for quite a while now...

I remember. Unfortunately I don't know how to help

Does anyone here remember the ShadownEssence forum? It used to be very vibrant community for WW games.

The forum is technically online at this time, but no thread will load for a logged-in user. Posting on the forum became completely impossible in January, except in the blog section. The community was just starting to revive and has now died, apparently because nobody can post. I have spent 6 months trying to contact the webmaster (Mortekai) with no response whatsoever, despite the fact that he posts on his ShadownEssence blog every single week.


Is anyone here able to view SnE threads while logged in? Has anyone been able to post? Most importantly, does anyone know how to contact Mortekai?

I'm worried that he is letting SnE die and will not maintain or fund the forum any longer. I want to try to save the treasure trove of content on SnE before it is taken down from the server, but the only way I know that would work is using the Internet Archive (the method used to try to save the White Wolf forum completely failed). I would need a lot of help.
