SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Hi Folks, there seems to be at least some fans of Big Geek Emporium around here. Certainly some linking to it.
They appear to be down -- i.e. they only have like 3 products up. Looks like a significant site crash/error. Anyone have any inside info?

I put up my games a few months ago and got one sale of most of them, which was nice.

Contacted them over on the twatter. Just now, let's wait to get a response.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

Heard back, here's what they told me:
QuoteYep.  Working to restore the DB.  I dropped the ball when moving to another server.  Hope to get the full site up soon, but no ETA as of yet.

I tried getting in touch with both them and the other drivethru-alternative, to try to see if they wanted to put up my Pundit Files series, and neither of them were able to act really professionally with me, which is pretty bad given that my presence would have been a massive level-up in terms of their profile.

So then I went to Red Room, who did act extremely professionally, and the rest is history. And the sales have been very good.

I am fairly certain I have said this before in another thread, but perhaps not so directly, but I'd be happy to carry your stuff on the RPG marketplace I run. We operate a Canadian site and just launched our UK site.
Here's details for potential publishers.
