WEBSITE SHUTDOWN OR TAKE OVER 2025

Post by Cole »

Hey everyone.

I'm sad to say it's come time to say goodbye to this website, it's domain and all of you. It's been almost 26 years now (we opened the door in Aug 1999). It's not that I can't afford it, or don't love seeing the site with people on it or using it, but I no longer want to be the caretaker or MC on file. I have discontinued ALL payments to our host as of August 25th 2025. Please back up or save characters etc to preserve your memories etc.

I will give ANYONE who wants this responsibility the right to take over the domain and the website associated with PADND.com for FREE if they are the right kind of person (IE an admin or moderator that's been on the site for an extended period of time). You just need to volunteer and I will update our host with YOUR login and password and credit card info. That will allow me to transfer the responsibility to you ;)

Please email me if you are interested in taking over. I have posted the payments that need to be made to maintain the site below. About $200 / year.

This was posted over on the pbp gaming forums as well (Here)

I just wanted to reply in this forum too so people know:

I have agreed to take over responsibility of PADND as a whole. So for now, it's not going anywhere.
What doesn't kill you just means you made your save... this time...
