To whom it may concern,
The last few months have certainly been rough ones, for BTM. The forums went down again, due to instability and spam. We immediately contacted the provider/host/owner of the forums an the situation was rectified after a time. However, the old forum software was in bad shape, and I felt the community was being held over a barrel (extorted) for capital to get the forums fixed, with little way to really scrounge that capital up. The staff sent out alerts to the units via email, and we tried to find a way to work in the interim.
IN the middle of all this, the Deputy Helena Alexander has been on a medical Leave of Absence. I'm considering alternative candidates to replace her as I think her recovery is far on th Horizon at this point. Then my own family was hit with medical issues, my wife fell and broke her hip and has been rehabilitation for 2 months now. This has put a lot of unwanted stress on me and sapped my online free time until today, when i finally had time to look to see if I could get a forum restarted.
What about those other forums: Because of IP Concerns I could not just give what was on the site to the MUCO of BWR for general use, but it sounded to me, from a reading that there would be little correlation between the BTM Experience and there. It felt like something new. As such BTM welcomes such to the universe of fan-fiction writing that comprises battletech. However, many players, and MUCOs have expressed concerns about what was going on, and I felt that it was necessary to setup a definitive set up here. I mean no ill will to Ian and his forum, but to me, the heart of what made BTM isn't there, though it may be something new.
It is my intention to find a way to enable all of the units that are able to continue to run here. It may come time in the future to majorly change things up. We are still trying to figure out what we do for units who lost all their work during the outtage. More on that as I have time.
For now, you may use these forums as before, and we'll try to start over and slowly build it back up.

You should be added as the Leader of the BTP Group and access to both forums. I need to review the documentation you sent me about changing who's the MUCO in light of the situation, I'm posting this here as a self reminder.

Processed both. Created the CI forums, added you as CI group leader, and added you as member to BTP.
