As someone else said, just the DNS is deleted. Perhaps temporary, you can add this line to your C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts file to see the nwvault. The site is not deleted!

Just tried this and didn't work for me '> ~ It does for you?

yesSr '>

Works for me, too   - on Linux sytems, add the line above to /etc/hosts

               Fingers crossed it is just a dns problem that someone will be willing to fix.

Vault 2.0 is up and running. People are working as quickly as possible on getting all the stuff converted to the new site (they already have all of it except things posted this week). Stop in, say hi!

Confirmed here too. Adding the above to the hosts file allows me access to the site again.

FP!

Works for me as well. Vault's still there, at least for now.

Ok, I just tested at home and it works perfectly!

               Rumors of the Vaults death are thankfully a fluke !!!

To edit hosts: load notepad, open file and paste "C:\\Windows\\System32\\Drivers\\Etc\\hosts." (minus the quotes) as the filename, and it should open file for you '>

Next add "69.10.25.55 nwvault.ign.com" (minus quotes) as a new line at the bottom, save, restart your browser, and the Vault should be alive and well.

Cheers!

I'm not sure I'd bank on that. Taking it out of DNS is very likely first step towards shutting it down.
I'll be happy if this turns out just to be a messed up configuration, but I suspect it isn't...

               Please do not access what remains of the vault. In doing so you are just encouraging that it be shut down more quickly. That is why I posted NESS for download. To take pressure off.

The longer the vault remains, the longer the VPP has to occassionally use it to ensure that we got everything.

               DNS removal usually means the site is marked for death or is being migrated to a new server. Either way we'll find out for sure in a few days.

If you go to the hub for the Vault, vault.ign.com/ you can see that no Vault site except NWN has gotten any updates in a very long time, years even.

It's marked for death.

               Okay, so not sure if the best place to post this is here, or at the new site, but just some questions:

1) Presumably, there is so import process that is taking all content from NWVault and migrating it to the new site? If not, god save the person doing it by hand...

2) During this migration, will all the comments, ratings, votes, etc., be carried over? Or will it be starting from a clean slate? I sort of have an attachment to my games I created years ago, and it would be a shame to lose all of that history. If so, then so be it. I'll have to do something on my own to get my history '>

3) Is this new site essentially going to have the same functionality as the old site? Votes, comments, ratings, etc.?

Excuse my ignorance, but this is coming as a shock to me, to be honest. Thankfully, I got my content off the site a year or so ago, but for me, this is coming out of nowhere...

EDIT - Err, looks like most of my questions have been answered in this blog entry. Thanks for everything that everyone is doing!

               <encouraging...>

1) Phase 1 was scraping the old Vault for files, screenshots and a snapshot of the project page (including download counts, vote aggregate, awards, and the first page of comments). This was done for all projects and is complete and archived in at least three places.

2) We have a snapshot of most of that history (though my archive didn't grab multiple comment pages and hence the vote details :-P). The best thing for any individual author to do is to hand migrate their works to the new site. Set it up the way you would like it, rather than trust Otto Matic to do it right. Do not worry about metrics for now (voting & DL counts), as we'll be recovering those from the archives when we finish getting the content accessible.

3) V2 already has most of the functionality of V1, and more, besides. It will also have a completely overhauled voting/rating/karma/review system... Eventually.

Mission 1: preserve what we got.

Upshot of all that? Register, upload your projects, join in the forums & help us shape the new Vault.

               Guys, I don't know if it's just me or what, but it looks like the DNS issues with the original vault are solved Switching to Vault 2.0 anyway, just in case it really burns itself in the future.

Edit: It works apparently, it's slow as the nine hells, but it loads.
