Hi, It's sorta odd asking this question about this other site here...but i think its the only place appropriate for some reason lol I registered and got accepted to gameprogramming.org's free game programming classes and then all of a sudden the site is dead, and has been that way for like two weeks with no emails at all about what happened except this: Jan 18, 2007 2:46 AM " A new topic, 'Course Start Date', has been made on a board you are watching. You can see it at http://www.gameprogramming.org/forum/index.php?topic=149.new#new More topics may be posted, but you won't receive more email notifications until you return to the board and read some of them. The text of the topic is shown below: Hi guys, One of the assigned volunteered instructor couldn't make it to teach the class this term. I didn't have the internet access till yesterday because of the winter snow and avalance. One of us didn't post the notice as I asked. On the good side, I will have to take over this course and use some of his materials for the class. The course will start this friday. This will allow me sometime to re-compile some of the stuff he gave me to run the course. The first material will be posted on Friday, 19th.

I want to know what happened to. I was admitted too, but now the site disappeared.
I didn't see this topic you posted. I was knowing nothing about it.

I didn't see the post in the forum personally, but i received it in email form because i set some site options so that i'd be notified of new forum postings via email.

I saw that email a few hours after receiving it and tried clicking the link to read the form post, and the site was dead at that time.

I tried to go to that site several times each day after... At one point entering gameprogramming.org was instantly forwarding me to http://stanford.edu/ (a friend tried the address and got the same result). Other times it was to some site which was like a website-hosting company where the name was registered, or something like that. Few hours later it became as it is now...dead site.
