Hi everyone, I know, I know: I'm no computer genius (I'm better with people). So, I tried to add a new game I had created to the piecepack wiki, but I really...
I've not used the Piecepack wiki before, but have used others- I'll amend the following advice with specific info if I get time today to investigate the wiki. ...

What's up with Mesomorph Games? On April 15th, I ordered a piecepack set from Mesomorph Games. I received PayPal confirmation, but no confirmation directly...
Hi Eric, Although I've never ordered from Mesomorph (the transport costs would be too high since I live in Europe) I did read about the bad customer service...
Hi all, Does anyone know what happened to the piecepack wiki? For the last couple of days all I can see is a 404 notification. Seems the last update was on...
Thanks, Jonathan. Anyone who wants to stay apprised of the progress of getting the server back up can follow mindperfhacks on Twitter or just visit this page...
