Is there a way to get access to the binder pdf without giving the program access to my facebook? It looks great, I'm a bit reluctant with these things...

Why yes, yes there is.

I just threw the online stuff into the pdf, slapped it together and bookmarked it all. Here it is for everyone!

Is any content really gone? I have spend considerable part of my working time today saving stuff from Wizards and I haven't found any broken link.
Yes it is. Some newer stuff seems missing while older stuff seems ok...

I found a few last night. I don't remember which, though.

i know we may not be buying current product but to me its a poor buisness decsion that alienates customers.
By their definition, and it is not a truly unreasonable definition, you are not a customer. You are merely a fan, and an unruly one at that.

how am i an unruly fan.  i played the current product for a year or so and decided it wasnt for me.  and i currently am not in a possistion to spend 30 every month or 2 on books because i have a small child.  but i have never flamed (on purpose atleast) against a product or the direction the game went.  i have stated well thought out critism about the product/direction. 
but i still stand by the fact that they are alienating fans/customers for a few extra bytes of storage on a web server.  I even understand how they may feel its a needed move to try and keep costs down.  but if they are in that sort of finaniacle crisis maybe they should have paid more attention to the critigues about how the direction a feel of there product was heading from the current customers they had 2 years ago. and for such a small niche market that they are trying to produce for they probably do need as many customers as they can get and not alienate them for a few pennies now.

Is anyone really surprised by this douchebaggery, though?

Wizards will meet the same fate as TSR at this rate.

At this point I really don't know who they're catering to. The 3rd Edition crowd (like me) moved on a long time ago (or was chased away more accurately) and the 4th edition crowd is pissed off at the moment.

At least their Spell Archive is all on one page.
Hood - My first answer to all your build questions; past, present, and future.

Speaking of which:
Don't even need TO for this.  Any decent Hood build, especially one with Celerity, one-rounds [Azathoth, the most powerful greater deity from d20 Cthulu].
Does it bug anyone else that we've reached the point where characters who can obliterate a greater deity in one round are considered "decent?"

I positvely know what Wizards isn't going to collapse like TSR, because of this

EDIT: Just downloaded all the free adventures off of the archives... but I don't know how to put it up for download.

while 5 color crack may be a cash cow still, they still need to have a reason to keep paying people to work on DnD.  so if they keep alienating customers they will eventually sell off the copyrights to some one else or just let it die. 

and i know they keep getting younger and younger with the magic crowd but they do have larger than normal drop offs in my area every year.  that may just be my local gaming area and not a trend in others
