What happened to the forum?

If you're referring to the old forum, it had become infested with bots and wasn't worth maintaining.  So the whole thing was trashed.

I have recently replaced the forum with a brand new one, and I have installed a downloads section and have Formerly Brandewyne available for all visitors:

I am in the process of uploading more free and points priced downloads, including a few forum exclusives.  The forum will always be a work in progress, but there is plenty to do, including an arcade and a bunch of free reads.
