http://www.thebettermod.org is going.
Mix has announced, albeit to the wrong audience, perhaps, but still, that he will soon be shutting down the forum.

On the most practical side, save what you want to save, get what you need. Assume the worst; the FTP and all forumnal services will be disabled. Mix has stated that he plans to archive the old forum, and keep the files, but this is by no means concrete. TOB will likely be reuploaded to another location, and do not forget that the Wiggy Patch and all considered essentials are still available from their relevant creators. Also remember, friends of TBM, such as MysteryGuy and Coollucas still have their websites.
DShiznit has indicated that he wishes to port an equivalent of The Orange Block to TBG, so that is to be expected in the near future also.
To his credit, as a webhost, Mix's behavior was spotless. He behaved with integrity, and provided a small game a home for free, and longer than he ever would have been expected. Never once did he ask for anything.
I remember the old Mix-Networks. Before it was wiped once, and was a bustling community and before it fractured into all these individuals, who grew into their own ideas and ran with them.
Back when we were 4 years younger and lighter.

My server has been the focus of many attacks because I host the forum for a community that no longer even makes a mod! It also becomes a personal attack because my personal websites are also on the same web host. I will soon be shutting down the forum because I am no longer willing to allow this to go on.

On a practical note, I hope the influx of TOB'ers to Cemetech won't prompt similar attacks here.
