Seems it went private/subscription? New ownership or something?

A shame on that, I guess.

Didn't this happen last year as well? Is it a configuration problem again or did they really put it behind a paywall? If the latter then RIP bearchive.

PyroWildcat · 09-27-2017

I seriously doubt they'd pull something like that, especially with zero prior notice. It's probably just a temporary issue; after all, this same problem has come up before.

Looks to be another config problem from a server change, based on this forum thread.

OhZone · 09-27-2017

I'm glad I didn't start my interactive there! :/ But I bet they come back anyway.

Just wanted to post that the Addventure is back up. It's now at http://old.bearchive.com/~addventure/

No go here. Still hitting the infernal paywall.

Just so you know, there is a "Free Account" option in the Membership Type drop-down.

That's still paying for it with my information and thus not going to do it. Especially after an acquisition like this - they bought the BEA knowing this was an open feature so getting cute and hiding it behind accounts means they don't want our continued patronage.

Other groups have done this through the decades and their cyoa features have died from it. Thus I can naturally be disappointed if the new ownership doesn't understand this. Which is unfortunate.

PyroWildcat · 09-29-2017

Let's not argue over something that's not even an issue; just wait for them to fix this and you won't worry about paying or signing up for anything.

This is a temporary screw-up brought about by switching servers, not a permanent change. This talk of 'new ownership' was nothing but unfounded conjecture on the part of MadmanDarkHeretic.

Cilansis · 09-29-2017

They've even mentioned on the BEA forums that they are still having issues with the migration keeping the old portions of the site freely available without login. It'll get fixed in time, just have to have patience I suppose. If it doesn't get fixed in a timely manner, then people will just go elsewhere.

I don't use my real name here because it had already been claimed.
