well it depends on what they do with the official website license. Current activities are pretty much in the direction that wotc wants to get everything back to one single point of interest.
the gleemax forum is going to be a major hub for everything D&D related.
loosing the license will mean the end of BRnet.

there was already a discussion on the official website webmasters mailinglist whether we were able to continue or we have to worry and have to prepare for some kind of transition.
wotc couldnt give us a straight answer to that (back in may)
now that gleemax has been launched and the 4th edition has been announced i have reopened that discussion on the webmasters mailinglistTe audire non possum. Musa sapientum fixa est in aure.

I can see a couple of areas for concern, namely:
Official sites must not create their own community sections that duplicate those services and features offered by the Wizards of the Coast website.
So, I guess you're worried you'd be considered in competition with gleemax
And probably this as well:
Have only a single source for all official content, that being your site. Other sites that wish to be listed as part of the IP will be directed to the official website.
I don't know. I still don't see the reason to worry really. Gleemax is already up and running and it's not like they're telling you you're now competing. I just don't think WOTC will shoot itself in the foot by closing the fansites or anything.

Yep, that's about what I figured. The "official" tag goes away but the site remains and all is well.

Wizards needs our free labor to maintain interest in stuff they can't pay someone to work on.

Not to toss this in anybody`s face or anything, but that would seem to mean
the "official" tag would also go away from fan produced materials created
under the aegis of sites that are themselves no longer "official" doesn`t
it? I mention this because it seems as if that`s been a big motivator for
folks, so it could interefere with the amount of fan-produced (or, at least,
fan-posted) materials and the ability to organize through a particular site.
I should note that personally a 4th edition won`t affect me in particular.
It`s just another rules set. From my POV the "4th" edition is really
somewhere in the neighborhood of the 12th edition if one were to number all
the incarnations of the system that have come out properly. I`ll take what
I want and discard what I don`t. Come to think of it, that`s what I do with
"official" materials too....

Does this mean that I better get off my butt and get my BRCS MRQ conversion finished. Before they go changing more rules on ogls.
