The following text was sliced out of the article:
The normal term for savefile manipulation is "Save Scumming" or "savefile scumming". The term scumming is used in various contexts, such as "town scumming"; "level scumming", "scumming for feelings", "autoscumming" (all synonyms really); and other various activities. Some people do use the term Cheating in an accusative way, but there's no consensus on what is cheating, or any special angband-meaning to the term. Anyone wants to flesh out the various forms of "scumming" feel free to insert that back in. A section on permanent death might be good too, although I think that belongs in a general article about roguelikes with a link from here. JoshuaRodman 08:11, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
The entry for Quylthulg has been removed and replaced with a redirect to Moria. The links here should be removed or the entry reinstated; I don't know the right policy here so I won't do either. In either case the redirect for Qlzqqlzuup needs fixing or removing, since he's no longer mentioned. 67.171.33.28 23:42, 5 January 2007 (UTC) m
Angband is most certainly notable, tracing its roots all the way to Rogue. I've saved it on my computer and if Wikipedia deletes it I will repost it, so nice try.

Please merge relevant content, if any, from List of Angband variants per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Angband variants. (If there is nothing to merge, just leave it as a redirect.) Thanks. — Quarl ( talk) 2007-03-03 07:51Z
I have looked on with some amusement at the switching back and forth of the "official" site. I say official because official in the Angband world is far from well-defined.
I have been pretty much accepted by the community:
Julian Lighton hasn't changed the game for 14 months ( [3]), and said 6th December 2006: "If I'm still not getting around to getting anything done by the end of the year, I will likely step aside.". He has not posted to the game's newsgroup, nor talked to anyone involved with the game since around that time.
Further, Ben Harrison, the maintainer of the game from around 1995 onwards, was never officially appointed by anyone other than himself with the community: [4]
Nobody seems to have had any problems with any of my posts, so I have uploaded my version of Angband (now "officially" named "Angband 2.7.0"), to "ftp.cis.ksu.edu"...
Similarly, Chuck Swiger before him took over the game entirely by default, as a "patch version" of 2.4.fk: [5].
Another point is that I'm listed as the developer. If I *am* the developer according to wikipedia, that makes me official, so yes, the official site is at rogueforge. So: I think either the page should say Julian's still the developer, or it should say rogueforge is the official site.
If anyone wants to cite this as a reason to switch back to the rogueforge site, feel free... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Takkaria ( talk • contribs) 13:09, 15 May 2007 (UTC).
I've come up with this as a paragraph more representative of the current reality of the game:
Rühlmann stepped down in October 2005, [1] leading to a brief period of uncertainty. [2] Julian Lighton was soon announced as the new maintainer in March 2006. [3], but a new release was not forthcoming, and as a result, Andrew Sidwell released patch versions of the game, and in March 2007 took over the role of maintainer with the blessing of the community. [4]

For the article Vecna, we are looking for confirmation (or disconfirmation) of the statement "In the roguelike game Angband, Vecna makes an appearance as one of the most powerful unique monsters in the game." Does anyone know if, and in what version this is the case? Thank you very much. Daranios ( talk) 18:58, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
