Gameover. I checked as well. They probably needed the extra room for
Alternity or something.

You would, thankfully, be wrong. What is happening is the Website is
being reorganized and thus some pages are being temporarily lost.

It is dead wrong, and I'm disappointed in your for even thinking it.

No, it has merely been lost due to reorganization at TSR's website.
Nothing more.

>Has anyone actually found it?

Have you tried replacing www.tsr.com with www.tsrinc.com ? I've seen
that suggesyted on r.g.f.dnd.

I think Napoleon Bonaparte is called for here:

Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by incompetence.

Wrong? I think you're a bit overly worried..

Hey! Take that back :P How dare you malign my favorite new game, even
in the name of my favorite setting!
It looks like the website is being overhauled, and perhaps merged with
the WotC one. Thus, some stuff is bound to lag behind, and I'm sure a
hiatus product line wasn't their first priority. However, in a couple of
days, we can all send mail to webmaster@wizards.com and explain our
displeasure to him, he will probably give in just to shut us up. I
wouldn't worry too much.
BTW: I found this at http://www.tsrinc.com http://www.tsr.com isn't
even recognized by my DNS. What's up with that? That used to work fine.

I think I have to agree with Frank, as the page from where to "link" to all
the TSR worlds are missing BR and some others too, I wouldn't think that they
make a page and then reedit it again when they have finished the BR pages
(see http://www.tsrinc.com/ADND/Welcome.html).

As people already have noticed, www.tsr.com has disappeared from all DNS, try
www.tsrinc.com (this is the only one which ever has worked for me).
