BE Archive Unending Addventure
 

Is it just me, or does this feature now ask you to sign in and PAY GODDAMN MONEY to use?! When the hell did they decide to make this change?

EDITS:
Okay, so the running theory is that it is a bug of some kind and not a underhanded method to charge access to what amounts to a community created story archive. Here's hoping that is in face the case.

I've been hitting the paywall sporadically all morning. Sometimes it stops any use and sometimes it doesn't interfere at all, so I'm assuming bug too.

Good Lord knows if it's intended to paywall the Addventure then it's dead - won't be enough people paying to create content for it at all.

Re: BE Archive Unending Addventure
 

Well that and it would be a sleazy and questionably legal move to suddenly try and get money for material that was freely given by the community.

Re: BE Archive Unending Addventure
 

Shush you, no using logic. This is the internet and logic has no place here.

Re: BE Archive Unending Addventure
 

Same here, very annoying as earlier I could get in fine, now paywall every time. Which is making me want to add to several threads now that I can't.

Hopefully it will be cleared up soon, or as people have said its dead.

Re: BE Archive Unending Addventure
 

They've been doing a massive site update. So most likely it's the result of a code going screwy. I suspect that it'll be up and running free eventually.

Re: BE Archive Unending Addventure
 

Dug through the Archive's forum and site moderator Gonzo commented his all-access account is locked out of the whole site except the forum. So there is much broken code under the hood.

Should be cleared up quickly he was advising.

Re: BE Archive Unending Addventure
 

Even Adama is locked out of his/her primary account so it's coding that's gone wrong with the recent updates...

Re: BE Archive Unending Addventure
 

It would be technically legal, however, they would have to make it possible for any previous creators to remove their content. Which, for something like the addventure, would be a death sentence.

Mojang recently went through something similiar with their modding community (Bukkit). It was the backbone of most multiplayer servers and fan made, but was purchased by Mojang without being expressly said. It used Proprietary mojang code, so technically the fans were in the wrong to make it, but they were also well within their rights to remove their seconds of code. Like addventure, you can remove pieces here and pieces there from a program and still expect it to work.

So yeah, definitely a glitch of some sort.

Re: BE Archive Unending Addventure
 

Looks like it's fixed. And, from Gonzo:

"The admins got in touch with us Friday morning:
THE ADDVENTURE IS NOT BECOMING PAY-ONLY.
THIS A CONFIGURATION PROBLEM THAT WILL BE CORRECTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Re: BE Archive Unending Addventure
 

Yeah saw that not too long ago. Glad to hear that it was only a bug.

Re: BE Archive Unending Addventure
 

Ugh, it's doing it again.

Re: BE Archive Unending Addventure

Re: BE Archive Unending Addventure

Re: BE Archive Unending Addventure
 

No problem here either.
