    Default Waiting for www projectwonderful com

    Today I noticed that anytime I open a new tab on this forum, the site tries for about a minute to connect to www.projectwonderful.com, which doesn't answer, since the site is no longer online. The ads have been gone a while, but apparently some code remains here that still wants to connect to that site.

    Noticed this as well, so at the very least it's not just a problem on that guys end or something.

    I've been seeing this too. Most of the time it doesn't seem to slow anything down, but sometimes it just sits there for a few minutes and the rest of the page won't load.

    Two weeks later, and it's still happening. Is there a webmaster we could email or something?

    I've seen it slow things at least once. And I can verify it is still happening with firefox development tools.
    Ever wondered how many games are mentioned in the comic? I have listed them all in a geeklist: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/2...es-order-stick

    It has been over a month, and it is still an issue.
    I have used the "contact us" email to the site administrator. No response, no progress.
    Is there something else we can do, or is this something we just have to get used to?

    Even just a "Yes, we're aware and we've assigned a slightly-less-mad-than-usual sorcerer1 to research an unholy ritual to purge the website of all daemons2 attempting to link with Project Wonderful" would be nice.

    1 See the news item for 2016-08-03.

    2 I'm really not certain I used "daemon" correctly in this context.

    Sheriff: We're aware. I don't have any additional information for you. But I don't think that additional posts to this thread are going to be productive.
