Scenario League

I "was" packing for a short vacation until someone told me to check out the fora before I left for four days....
Now i'd like to clarify a few things before this gets out of hand any further.
1.) OOC crap, such a debates, polls and other junks are NOT allowed in this forum. You wanna do that kind of stuff, go to the OT.
2.) Graphics showcases, playtesting threads, PBEM threads, historical discussions and the like ARE allowed here. So long as it somehow pertains to a scenario, I don't care what it's about. Just don't abuse the priviledge.
3.) The Scenario League site hasn't been updated because Blackclove left and I offered to help Cam. Cam then left and I was left with the whole thing by my lonesome. Noone else has volunteered to help with the site so I am STILL doing it by myself. In addition, i'm using an 18k laptop which refuses to run FTP on it.
4.) I was in a bad car accident this year which used all the funds I had previously slated to buy a FTP-capable computer with. Since this IS volunteer work after all, i'm just now getting the necessecary money to purchase the new system.
5.) As soon as I get my new computer, Scenario League will get an entierly new face. Tons of new scenarios, tips, reviews and more are in stasis for upload. I also plan to expand the SLeague to cover Civ3 scenarios and possibly even scenarios specifically designed for PBEM. I am also in talks with HAC about the possible merger of the two sites, incorporating the Hodadian Awards into SLeague's normal review.
If anyone wants to help with the site, feel free to contact me via email at warvoid@aol.com. In the meantime, be content with the fact that SLeague will get an update whether it kills me or not.
Comprende?

Hi all.
Yep, thanks William - that's it. I simply could not update the site or collect e-mail from the League's mailbox, regardless of which computer, ftp program, e-mail program, or ISP I used (having tried several of each). The Gamestats technician did not reply to my e-mails. I found the whole thing very frustrating.
In order to tidy up whatever outstanding reviews there were, I made an interim site where I had hoped the reviews could be read and ultimately transferred over when the problems were resolved.
Consequently I handed all responsibility to WarVoid, including providing him with a licence to my preferred FTP program (CuteFTP, valued at $29.95) and my password to the League's site. I advised both Dan and Markos of my position on several occasions and that all sleague responsibility was in WarVoid's court.
Furthermore WarVoid informed me of his relatively low-performance computer, his accident, and his desire to upgrade his machine. I was under the impression that once his machine had been updated that he could take on the job at hand. I regularly offered my assistance to WarVoid on request, and am a little surprised by the inference that I abandoned him. The old threads will show that I spent some time seeking a successor to take over the site, initially in an apprentice role, and then as the editor. Because of the technical problems I endured, there seemed little opportunity to do anything other than hand the responsibility over at the first opportunity in order to keep the site lively.
Clearly until WarVoid acquires a better computer or my ftp problems mysteriously correct themselves, the only other option is to seek out another leader for the site. Otherwise, that March 2001 update is going to become even more familiar. I am buoyed by WarVoid's advice that he indeed does intend to press ahead with updating and recasting the site. 
Again I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to the success of the League. In a small way I think it contributed to the vast improvement of quality of scenarios we saw in a fairly short period of time.
I couldn't be happier if someone would 'step up to the plate' and join WarVoid in relaunching the site.
