Well, a lot has happened the last few days in my life that was bad, but I must admit..I ust found out some GREAT news last night.
Ascent is now open source again. Which means no more buggy crashy servers, and I don't have to make a community core anymore, so I'm ecstatic.
Their new site is at http://www.ascentcommunity.com
and they are fully supported by NCDB according to andy, all svn information is obtainable there, so go...run, and have fun.
