CBT Forums hack update: Warnings have been issued that user accout data was apparently stolen; attacks on the email accounts of registered forum users have been reported since. If you were a registered user on the CBT Forums and used the same password there and elsewhere, then you are advised to change it!


The ClassicBattleTech.com (CBT) forums section is down. This time, it looks like a serious security breach and the database and/or all user accounts may be wiped. Many canonical rulings and clarifications that were posted on that official interaction forum with the Line Developers and production staff may be lost. Some of them have been transcribed to BTW, but many reference links to the CBT forums may now be dead.


Founder's Awards Update: A new category has been added for Writers, rather than only Editors. Please nominate your candidate for Superior Writer of the Year at 2010 Founder's Awards. All nomination periods have been extended until 23 January.


Nominations are being sought for the 2010 Founder's Awards. Please nominate and/or support the Editors you best feel deserve these annual awards.


Well, this is it: Happy New Year to all of you!
BTW has seen an amazing growth, and exceeded 12,000 articles this past year. We're definitely on the right track. Please continue your ongoing efforts to improve this site, and keep up the good work everybody!


Please let Nicjansma know if anything was removed that shouldn't have been (it can be recovered). If you need to upload new non-images (PDFs, etc), please contact him as well until the ability to upload files to the Downloads area is added.
