ORG Wiki:Current events
From ORG Wiki
Whats currently happening over at the ORG Network? Quite a lot. Starcraft.org is on it's way back to being online and functional. Warboards.org has been rechristened Nexus and moved to a new domain. The network has also expanded to include a new community Left4deadforum.org which focuses on the game "Left 4 Dead".

[edit] Recent Server Changes
For the past year or so, the network has been in somewhat of a flux. For a long while Starcraft.org had been suffering major downtime errors. One of the ways that this was to be fixed was to move the website over to a new (physical) server. However this has taken quite a long time... Along for the ride to the new server was Blizzforums and SCLegacy. An odd pairing, when considers their history, but perhaps it's simply destiny that ORG and Legacy are linked. You see, Blizzforums was also suffering downtime that would happen randomly and would cause extreme inconveniences, not to mention errors and problems with searching and such.
So how do things look today? In a word, awesome! Starcraft.org, along with the ORG Network parent (hub) site, and the Legacy websites, have successfully moved over to their new server(s). Many current members of Blizzforums are appreciative of no more random down times, not to mention the speed.
[edit] DNS and You
As a simple note here, for awhile Blizzforums, Warboards, and the other website's domains were not functional as AJ decided to host his own DNS for the sites. In the short term this meant that people couldn't use the domains, but in the longterm it means that he has much more control over the domains and websites in general. While an annoyance for awhile, when everything propagated across the internet, and the domains were functional again, everything worked out for the best.
[edit] Starcraft.org
Yes, we've asked a lot of our members to be patient through all of these server troubles, moves, and repairs. But it's important that you know that Starcraft.org is on it's way back, including every map, fiction, and piece of artwork that was once hosted there, and critiqued.
[edit] Expansion
ORG Network is expanding, and will continue to do so. Don't miss out on our soon-to-be-launched Diablo III fansite, or the new Left 4 Dead community. More is coming, just be patient!
