rec.games.roguelike.angband looking glass

As of March 31 2008, my ISP's USENET feed provider ceased to exist (buyout by another company). Since that date, I no longer have any access to the USENET. Therefore, I am forced to discontinue r.g.r.a frontend on Angband.oook.cz website.

What, so no more improvements EVER?

I like the rest of it, this change just annoys me (and
nobody's yet said WHY, other than 'Oh you don't need it
because everything's going to be cheap from now on')

Haggleband?   ;-)

Not a chance, it's hard enough just to get a standard RISC OS
Vanilla port... forking off a minor variant isn't going to
happen.
