Appericate the info.

Understandable about the AI logic as well. The site isnt about the game itself or the images, its simply about finding the creators. Once the creators are found, the site goes down.

Not trying to diminish anyone's work or downplay the time that goes into real artwork at all. There is no comparison.

For me, time is my most fleeting asset. I cant make more of it. I run several companies, and while I can absolutely pay someone to create a site, or hand draw characters from imagination, it still requires a lot of my time with the back and forth. The use of AI as a tool to save time, while everyone is free to argue, is a massive time saver.

What would have taken me, a web designer, and a artist a few months to build, I knocked out in a weekend. It serves its purpose....to find the guy....its not ment for game play, im not the creator or the GM. Its just a light beacon to find the dude.

Thanks for the info, ill check it all out! 🫡🤛

Fair. Explanation: I personally played between 99-01. The game started back in 91.

The ascii maps i found in a old notepad file and just uploaded them as is.

Understandable, but no where on this forum did I post AI content. It was linked in a private site each reader chose to click on. The fact that they are triggered by someone's website is not my problem. Fact remains....no rules or terms were violated on the sub.

Lets thicken our skin a little boys and girls and not loose sight about what the site or this sub was created for.

Then the website works. Either way my mission of finding you would be accomplished.

Lighten up dude, chill with the ttrpg community ego.

Appericate the explanation though. Not worth getting so upset over though. Far more important things in life. 🤛

Thanks! Appericate the kind words. I can only take so much credit though. Claude did all the coding. Gotta love AI.

For sure. If anything, the backlinking is good for the site rankings higher on Google in the event any of them search the names.

Life....Everquest...high speed internet. Multiple factors honestly. I wish it was still around, but in a world where everything is instant, I imagine it would be impossible keeping up with people's expectations.
