NWNX website shutting down

Forum and site will shut down (Forum Topic)
It sounds like the forum will remain as a read-only resource for a few years, but I wouldn't be surprised if a few people start making their own online backups of it. This has been a valuable resource since the beginning of NWN and Avlis, and I still use it to this day (frequently with things I've been redoing here lately). Thankfully Papillon is giving everyone plenty of warning and taking steps to keep it available, unlike several other notable disappearances of sites related to NWN (*grumble, grumble* BioWare forums twice would top that list
).

Note: The certificate for the site expired yesterday as well, so you'll need to add an exception to even visit it now.Papillon wrote:Announcement 10. September 2019
Hello folks,
due to security and GDPDR concerns and the low volume of posts in the last few months, I am sorry to announce that I will close the NWNX forum and the site soon.
It has been a pleasure and an honor to be part of this project since 2004. The original NWNX helped to create worlds that not even Bioware thought were possible. It surely was (and is) a greater success than I imagined at the beginning and its derivates continue to power the NWN persistent world community.
The forum is write protected effective today. In the next few weeks, I will try to create a read-only copy of the posts here. If that succeeds, I plan to host the nwnx.org domain as a static copy for a few years more so that links do not suddenly break. If you want to get in contact with me send me an email to nwnx10 at stiegerhs dot de.
