The 3e line is scarcely dead, as the collected Rogues Gallery was finally released last year, there's an expanded Gamegamster's Guide due, the Super-Team Handbook is out in PDF and print, and there's another upcoming source book on the horizon as well (which I cannot go into detail regarding). However, the forums are another story-aside from the schism, the recurring technical issues HAVE curtailed posting, and as Fuzzyboots said, losing the game room and roll call halted the most frequently posted on forums. The Expanse and Modern AGE forums are still fairly active, but most of the M&M posting has moved to the FB group.

All my best.

FWIW, the upcoming official 3E releases are the Time Travelers Codex
Later in the year we’ll have the Time Travelers Codex. This book provides a framework and ideas for including time travel in your supers campaign, as well as detailed info on select historical epochs and the sorts of adventures you might have there.
and the Freedom City cards for Sentinels of the Multiverse.

The line going dormant for a year or two after the release of the main book had a disastrous effect on things, I think, but yeah, more work was produced since then. However, it seems like it's at about 1/8th the pace they used to produce books.

The biggest thing that set me off when it came to doing business with GR was the Power Profiles.

I was new into the game and wanted to support the company so I bought all the profiles as they came out online.
Then the collected book came out, for cheaper than the individual episodes with more information. Made me feel like I wasted my time and money being a 'good customer'.
Then the published book wasn't available at Amazon, forcing me into buying it directly at GR.

That made it really hard for me to trust them after that point.

From Fildrigar:
The Ronin Army forums have been hacked and are currently down. If you have an account on the forums, and use the same password there as anywhere else, please immediately change your passwords.
So yeah... time to change passwords.

They're just full of problems lately. Maybe the update wasn't such a good idea.

Even before the update, they had some problems. I don't think they were as bad as after the upgrade though.

Yeah, it went from annoying and almost impossible to post to unusable and impossible to browse.

What they need is a decent programmer and somebody very familiar with how the boards they use work on a meta level. They obviously don't have that. Personally, I'm neither. But even I can see that necessity.

That's the case with most web applications unless kept simple enough. The problem with simple though is that it doesn't scale with the latest features easily as more users ask for things.

Ayup. That's when you gots to explain to the kiddies why you can't have the new toy and say 'no' if you don't have the right people to properly implement them.

I know that "Karma" is more about "bad things today will affect you in your next life/lives", but HOLY CRAP Green Ronin is being hammered by all of this nonsense and their own incompetence, which is a bit hilarious to me, given how they treated me and my thread-goers all those years ago. I can't even feel any sympathy.

I feel badly that GR is having so much trouble with the M&M part of the forum. It's kinda like seeing the home town arcade you spent a large part of your teenage years going to be torn down to make a parking lot.

Even though I left there for many the same reasons as others here did it the ATT was a place I greatly enjoyed for many years.

After the upgrade, I thought the M&M part pretty much died given all the issues with last I read in some post most of the info for M&M moving to Facebook.
