The Pouch Zine hasn't been published since last Winter, either.

Good question. Stephen Agar has just last night been putting SOME
of those sites back up.

http://www.diplomacy-archive.com/home.htm

Is the base site, and from there you can see which ones you can click, and
which ones you can't. Many/most things are still accessible.
And he can put them all back up, he just needs to step in and
access them to reset them, I think. I've nudged him about the others.

This is also a good place to note that at www.diplomacyworld.org,
but NOT at the link off the above page, you can access the latest
issue of Diplomacy World, Issue #91, Fall 2004. We're all sorry
that there haven't been any Diplomatic Pouch issues this year yet,
but usual Pouch writers like Eric Hunter and Derek McLachlin
are in DW this time. Plus we have the FULL results from this
summer's World DipCon in Birmingham, UK. Thanks to David Norman!!

Check it out, it is an Adobe PDF download. Get the reader for
free at Adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html.

Thanks to new co-editor, Tim Haffey, we remain dead on schedule
this year, Dec. 1 is the deadline for the next issue.

My webspace provider had some problems about 8 weeks back and I hadn't
realised that everything got wiped - but I am in the process of putting it
all back up again.

I got quite a demanding and high profile job just over a year ago - that
combined with a house move which meant I no longer had a study, really
sapped my enthusiasm. However, as luck would have it I know have a study
again (thanks to a loft conversion) and I have managed to get all my
Diplomacy stuff out of storage. A new issue of League of the Last Days will
be out very soon.

Regards


Stephen
