I see a lot of the old names around. Are things stable these days? I'm getting the bug again and wondering if it's worth signing back up for a subscription.
Well, as with basically everything, things could be better; but we're certainly making forward progress (albeit slower than preferred to be sure). Seeing some of the old crowd popping up is definitely awesome - and I hope it continues.
It's absolutely worth renewing. Now sure what the old features were, but as a pretty active DM, it's got what I need and more. I've only been really active on the site for the last year or so, but it's a fantastic. I keep hearing about "the old days"- but honestly, the site works great for what it focuses on, and improvements ARE being made by some VERY hard working people. I wish there was a more active community but I feel like it has been improving lately.
The old 500 errors and most other bugs have been squashed for most of this year. Been months since i've had any problems. As long as I have an active RPG campaign going i'll be here.
Well now. I might just turn up a bit more if that's the case. Pretty solid on a private wiki for most of my stuff atm, but worth considering. How hard is it to restore deleted campaigns from the OP backups?

Hey Basileus, I would say things are pretty stable now. The "bad old days" are gone, and Kallak has excelled in keeping things together.

I think things have stabilized, and the site is good to go for performing the functions we are used to, an excellent platform.
But I do feel it is still in a "steady state" mode, with minor improvements on occasion.

There's even a number(well 1 is a number) who swore this off forever(and old staff who liked it that way) who have made a return even already.

Kallak has made a huge difference! While I am nowhere near as active, nor using most of the ascendant features, I came back....
Just trying to help out.
I hope to be able to continue doing so. It's been an honor thus far.

The system is stable and the platform as useful as ever. Glad I never gave up and hung around

How far back is the deletion?
