So what did you do besides going nuts. I know our gaming group were posting back and forth without it. So, either how did you cope or did you develop a life?
So did anyone find they had a life without Gamesquad

Oh yeah...I found a whole new calling.
But I found that clicking on the GameSquad link every 10 minutes or so for the last 2-3 weeks 24x7 really takes a toll.

Glad I was not the only one doing that, nope, just concentrated on map building and writing some Scenario up, and played a few turns against Jeff, gonna pick up the pace on that front later this weekend I hope.
I caught up with Consimworld a bit. I faded away from CSW over the last year as I found my interest in non-ASL games easing.

Porn did the trick. My right wrist is just as strong now as when I was 14.

I found I do have a life without GS. But I did miss it a bit.

I'm happy to have my primary source of ASL information back in business. What i appreciate the most from GS is the gamers point of view; facts, opinions, rules clarifications, etc. I've always enjoyed looking through the posts and I'm glad to see it return now looking better than ever.

Agreed. There are a number of hardcore ASL players on FB, but there are also quite a few dabblers and a fair few of those who openly admit to not playing at all. There also seems to be quite a few there still playing SL that like to trumpet/argue its merits compared to ASL. I like GS because it is the 'hardcore ASL haven'.

I just made sure that the ASLOK site was still functioning and in fact updated with the first wave of participants. That's the only thing I care about at the moment. Besides, the current election campaign provides enough entertainment.

I spent more time perusing BGG and CSW. But they just aren't the same. I found it humorous that on a couple of sites, one was a WWII history site, people were talking about the GS forum and that all the ASL guys were "freaking out" over gamesquad being down and having nowhere else to go. I did fall into exploring some other games, but nothing that would make me abandon ASL, that's for sure.

That's embarrassing......
I found the two main ASL Facebook pages were NOT a good alternative. FB is good to comment facts or news, but not as a forum where you have available at the same time dozens of discussions and not only one or two. The weeks without GS have revealed me this truth.

Yes it is, but imagine what some would think/say if the saw some of the melt donws on this site, especially when they saw what started them! now THAT would/could be embarrassing
