Welcome to the new home for FF.Org forums, albeit temporary, although likely to be long-term temporary.
Have chosen 3rd party hosting for the forums until I can justify lashing out cash/spending time maintaining a board at FF.Org since the old one died. Also means there should be less threat from spambots.
As for what's happening with FF.Org itself, well I hope you have had a go at Outsider, I shall be adding features to the FF library set as time passes and incorporating those additions in to Outsider making it as automated as is possible.
I have almost finished the generic FF combat routine (viewable and useable in your your adventure creator) which as I predicted is proving to be very complex - at least more complex than most routines will be for FF.
Other than that I shall be uploading the gamebook creator guides (ABML/SEL) and other pages (reviews, links etc.) that were on the old portal to new pages on the site (not fixed to forum software) - in a very basic format over the next few weeks.
Hope you like the new front page :-), one day I may even get round to making the rest of the pages look less amateur but I wouldn't hold your breath...

Hi there, I used to have nearly all these FF books when they were first released back in the 80's and loved them.. only a few years ago did I sell them but now I'm getting the urge to play them again... and so I did a search for online FF and found your page. I see its not quite ready yet, but I look forward to when it is good luck with it.. any chance you could email me aj_3d@yahoo.co.uk when the site has a game to play on it?

There already is a game to play - Outsider. Some parts of it are still in developement admittedly, and a couple of the reference links are duff - not my fault as this was taken from the authors source document, I'll have to read through quite carefully to find the correct linking. However it is still playable...

/\I'm guessing that this is the kind of thing you wanted to avoid?/\ Hello, my name's Dave. I'm currently writing the first in a series of these books, and I would like to put it up here. Still writing, but will be done soon.

Hi Dave and yes, the spam was what I was attempting to avoid - inevitable that I will get some however, thankfully it's relatively infrequent and minor spam so far here.
Looking forward to seeing your book - if you have any trouble using the editors just give us a shout :-)
