The forum hasn't been archived; we're using the same one as we used before. I've just retired all the old threads (to here, for those curious).
@Thekk: You're in!
Anyway, it appears that we're all set, so I'll start posting the first packs. There are still a few of you who haven't posted your threads, so you should go ahead and do so.
Just a reminder to all new participants like me - at least for me the private forum itself doesn't light up in any way to indicate new answers (when I check the limited subforum main page that is), so remember to subscribe the thread you made if you want to have easier tabs to the thread for when Sene posts new packs.
It's true. This forum software does have its obvious shortcomings when compared to trusty old vBulletin, and this is one of them. Do subscribe to the thread. You can set your notifications settings (as in whether you want to get email updates or just on-site notifications, etc) in Preferences.
Well, but the notifications are still weird. Sometimes there are none. Most pretty pretty late. I don't get it.
Checked my post right now, still got no notification about Sene's new post 10 hours ago.

Yep, this is actually recent, and I've already notified the owners about the error. Right now the notifications don't work, and you'll have to manually check the forum every now and then
One of the pods has been delayed by about three days. This is not due to anyone being slow, but because of a forum software glitch that makes posts sometimes not visible, so I didn't see a post until three days after. This is an error I've reported in the past, but I've reported it a bit more angrily now Anyway, we should be back on track.
No. It's been a known error for a long time already, and I wouldn't expect something like this to be fixed in days just because I reported it once again. All I'm hoping for is that it'll be prioritized enough to be fixed in the next update. When that would be, however, I don't know. Anyway, we're back on track, and everyone should have received a new pack within the last couple of days, at least, and I'm hoping it picks up speed.
Hm, I'm visiting family this weekend, and I apparently forgot to bring the charger for my laptop. It'll probably last enough for me to post new picks today and some of tomorrow, but perhaps not after that until Sunday night.
I'm terribly sorry you guys! I'm on a project with work and thought i'd have internet, but no. I now managed to snatch some from a supermarket, but i need to go. Next pack will be on friday, around 7pm cet.
Alright, I'm at a train station now; I've managed to get some internet again, and I've started posting to the threads. Sorry again about the delay. It was a combination of unfortunate events: my phone stopped working, and the place I was staying didn't have internet (and this was a cabin relatively far from anywhere I could realistically go to get my daily fix of interwebs). But I'm done now, and going forward I am, at least, going to stay at my own place, so one would assume that the rest of the draft will go smoothly.

Is this officially dead or are there pools that were even slower to draft than us and even more obviously un-interested in playing their matches?
At this point, given that FKK drafts are irrelevant now, I'd rather have access to the drafts and forego playing any matches. Anyway, it seems likely I won't be playing any before 2016 at the rate it's going.
I think you're jumping a bit to conclusions if you think this is dead due to one slow match in your pod. That said, I'm pretty close to just determining a winner based on which deck I think is best.
Edit: PM about it sent.
All-in-all, I'm not 100% happy with how this one went; I was away for five days during this exercise, which was awkward, and additionally, we've faced some issues with the forum software and such. This one will conclude (the draft portion is done and all; we just need to finish the matches), but I'm not sure if I'm prepared to run one again until forum notifications get fixed, at least.
So, can we get an update or get access to the draft of others? I'm still interested about what when on during the draft.
Not that I'm jumping to any conclusion or anything. Matches are still being actively played at a rapid clip, I suppose.
Edit: to be a bit more upbeat: I would not so no to a MTGO forum DDF draft if someone sets one up at the right time. (I won't fire it up as I don't actively play on MTGO, but if enough people are interested...)
Once all the pods have finished, could you post the winning decks and their associated seats? I'm kinda curious as to what a direct comparison would look like.
Just got to say, you've definitely earned distinction as an MTGS hero
Quote from Stardust »
Because he's the hero MTGS deserves, and the one it needs right now. So we'll global him. Because he can take it. Because he's not just our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. An expired rascal.

ExpiredRascals you sir are a god-like hero.

I might do one again for Dragons of Tarkir, so keep an eye out for that one then
