Anyway, I clicked on something that said "Oddworld Forums is now being called 'The Glass Asylum'." I thought it was interesting to see that there was another OWF, but I didn't think about it any further from there. From info that I gather by looking at these posts, ownership of the OWF was in dispute blah blah, so people took sides and finally people left and made a forum site of their own. It's down now, so Dark Hood comes back.

I would like to clear something up for you. The reason there was another OWF site you found, was because that was where this Oddworld Forums was originally located. It was hosted on Ezboard, and eventually it switched two more times until we are on Vb now. The old site that you found out there, was originally an archive so if people would like to go and check the old topics about oddworld, or fan work etc, they would be able to through the current OWF we are at now.
When the split in Adminship took place, Syd still had control of the archives of OWF, and I believe he deleted all the Oddworld Main Discussion, Old Fan Corner, and Oddworld RPG, and left only off topic, etc. And then made the old Archives link to his new site and forums The Glass Assylum. Naturally this upset people over here at OWF, that the old archive of the old OWF had been deleted, and could not ever be brought back.
If I left anything out I apologize, but thats what I remember about that off the top of my head.
Hope that clears things up for you Oddguy.
