Cyanide manager (M): Hey, the forums have been down a week and a half, what's the deal?
Cyanide Tech (T): Huh, they have? One sec.

-some time later-
T: Yep, they're down alright.
M: Ok, get them back up.
T: ummm, the hard drives are corrupted.
M: Ok, just load the backup.
T: Backup? *blank stare*
M: *hangs head, sighs deeply* Can you recover them.
T: I suppose. Let me see.

-some time later-
T:Ok, I managed to get the Cycle Pro Manager back online and recovered.
M: What about BB?
T: *blank stare*
M: Blood Bowl, the Blood Bowl forum!
T: *scratches head*
M: The game we had to make to avoid being sued into oblivion...
T: oh yah, forgot about it. Are we still supporting that?
M: ...for the time being, sort of. *Calculates the end of the legal time frame that GW requires them to support BB in his head down to the seconds*
T: You still with me?
M: Yes, what?
T: I'll see what I can do.

-some time later-
T: I found some old back up of the forum, but I think it is at least a year old.
M: Good enough, we just need to get something up until we can turn it all off.
T: ok, whatever.

Nice one Whatball, funny but also sadly accurate too I’ll bet!

The tactics section of that forum was always pretty dire. Maybe we can persuade Dode to lock it and add a sticky pointing everyone to this site along with Coach’s and Plasmoid’s. :D

I dont know if you can change this page dode - http://www.cyanide-studio.com/forumBB/v ... f=11&t=383

But it is very very out of date, all fumble link etc are out of date you only have stuff for lrb4 there. Also plasmoids site has alot of new stuff since that first post.

Here is a page Whatball and I spent a lot of time on - http://fumbbl.com/help:LRB6RaceStrategy

I also spent a lot of time on this one - http://fumbbl.com/help:OTT
and there is more to come etc... have a look about the help pages :)

Shame the forum gone. I did wonder why my password was not working so I guess my account got lost. No huge problem but it's a shame as I can't be bothered to register again. If my apathy is a common feeling they really will have less posters

Still I hope enough people use the client as I do like the pc version
