So, let's create a committee to elaborate a new pbem tracker? Are there someone with IT knowledge, willing to help us on that work?
The noblest thing would be for methinkso to at least yield administration to another person, in the same way he got his position from the previous owner.

realms beyond worked out a pbem turn tracker using gmail. Details are http://realmsbeyond.net/forums/showthread.php?tid=4632
I should mention this.
Everyone should be very careful if they use pbemtracker.com
I found out that the pbemtracker database of accounts had been hacked and a list account details was posted on siph0n.in, a hacker/exploit site. This included mine which had email address, username and password. Unfortunately, (because I'm dumb) I had used the same password on other sites and my accounts got hacked on several of them, causing me a lot of grief. pbemtracker literally has no security on it. I tried contacting them at admin@pbemtracker.com, but the email bounced back, saying the inbox was full. So be careful what password you use there.
If you want the actual details of what I found out, I probably won't post them on the public forum. PM me.
Subscribe to sites, in general, ever is a risk. I have an e-mail account only for games. I don't use my personal or professional e-mails with sites as pbem tracker, and for each site I use a different password. I know with this posture I am not completely protected, but this procedure minimises the risks. This is the only think that I can do!
We could do that ... but the security issue is a concern. The other option is the Realms Beyond gmail based tracker.
I want to investigate the 'reporting' angle a little bit (ie how hard is it to host the php code) but the setting up the gmail accounts is pretty straight forward ... i have done it for 'Crowd' and 'GiveMe18'.
Ruff_hi, do you have knowledges to do that?
Attention! Attention! Attention!
Looks like Tracker is back and working again! I was just able to upload and download this file:

It is not working for me!
