I found a site that I really like for playing old BBS games - Global Wars, Barren Realms Elite, L.O.R.D. The site sees a lot of activity, so the games are always interesting - not just ego-fests between three idiots with nothing else to do. So anyway, this site rocks, and I spend every evening playing my games and unwinding.

Except the site is down tonight. ☹ I need to go finish kicking butt in Global Wars!

Argh.

Withdrawal sucks.

I was all set to tell you about BBSMates, but I can’t access it right now. I wonder if it’s the same site…

It is indeed. Sigh. I haven’t found any others that I like nearly as much.

I’m sure it’s just temporary. I was on there yesterday (or was it Sunday).

Yeah, I was on this morning briefly, so I’m sure it will be back. At least I know if it’s not just something on my end, then no one is kicking MY butt in G-War in the meantime 😉
