Yep, noticed it acting wonky a few days ago.  Always happens just as you
run out of good FMs to play...

So start dromeding one..... 

Yes, it'd down due to technical problems. They've set up a small alternate 
forum site here: http://www.awesomeexpress.com/forums/index.php
The explanation given for the downtime by David, one of the admins, is this:
"A rather laughable and "you couldn't make this shit up" series of events 
have left us with a collapsed RAID array, drives with damaged sectors, a 
broken heatsink and a burning CPU."

Sounds like it could be awhile before it's all up and running again.

    Will they lose the old forums and archived sites?  That would be bad :(

Someone asked that question and apparently they don't think anything will be 
lost, thank heavens!

Worried about all those people asking for help on old missions again?

Yeah, me too!  :)
But I could see an expectation of that help switching from being fun to
being a chore for her.

  I hope it doesn't. As I am sure NW is reading this also. I try to help 
her out also on those rare occasions.

There are somedays when I feel like there should be a paycheck for all the 
hours I put in but most days, it's still just plain fun doing the 
betatesting, editing, moderating the forums and answering questions when I 
can, though I can't answer them all anymore. The number of missions has 
climbed so high that I can't keep up with them all but that's a good thing, 
right? Who would have believed 6 or 7 years ago that FMs would still be 
coming out at this rate for a game as old as Thief? I plan to be around 
helping out whenever I can as long as possible. I get a lot of help from 
other people to, as Albert said because I get stuck plenty of times myself! 
I just tend to write it down so the next time someone else has the same 
problem, I'll remember. :-)

Which has got me thinking (in an "I'm just about to reboot my PC so can't
look for myself right now and I'll probably forget when my PC is back up
anyhoo" kind of way) are there many FMs for Thief - Deadly Shadows?

Cheap Missions shows 12 T3 FMs.  I can't get excited about them though.  I
reinstalled T3 and started playing the original missions but got annoyed
by it (primarily the respawning and respawning and respawning).  AFAICS no
one has made a mod to just remove that aspect of it, so I doubt I'll play
it again.

T2 is by far the superior game,
even if the graphics aren't as smooth.

Agreed. That is why I have yet to reinstall T3 and play any of the FM's.

I use T3 disc and box as a haven for homeless dust bunnies.
