Unfortunately they obviously weren't quite that clever. TSR have a
Temporary Home Page, while they are constructing the official one. It
can be found at:

Sorry to disappoint you, but.... :)

Yep, you're right, there is a homepage going up now, but I think the fact
that they've gone this long w/o getting up a real homepage kinda supports
what I said. And I'll be the first to admit, I might not be right, but I
heard that particular bit of info from a friend who can quote the years on
most of the stuff T$R has ever done, so I'm kinda inclined to believe him,
but like I said, I'm not 100% sure.

Later,

I dare say they did tie themselves in knots, teh same way they come down
on anyone else that "interferes" with their product, including shutting
down magazines by quoting contracts and crap, I just thought I'd correct
the no web site bit :)
