If that were the case, I think it more likely TPTB would go full Gibson on the forums rather than just a couple days outage... ;D

Little known fact*: the forum server runs over a prepaid WiFi hotspot, ant they keep forgetting to buy more refill cards.

The monthly two-day crash.

Not sure if monthly and always two-days but there is a long downtime every now and then on these forums.

It's like when my grandpa took the phone off the hook when he wanted to be left alone

No, every month or so they have to replace the hamster(s) or the wheel.

Rumor is they want to upgrade to Guinea pigs, but they have a better union than the hamsters do.....

Well, I went to check on the CGL Store and......it's not up. 

Was the address changed or was it not restored when the forums were restored?

I wouldn't use it anyway. DriveThruRPG is more stable, more user-friendly, and allows infinite downloads.

The new store has a purchases library that allows unlimited downloads now.

As for the missing pile of products and all of my purchases from 1/16 to 10/16...

I am waiting patiently for them to add the short stories to the Catalyst Store myself.  There are about 150+ that I don't have ;)

So after we get the 2nd Succession War book, what was next in line?  Combat Manual: Davion?  IlClan?  Turning Points: Tokasha?

IMO, I bet they are waiting for the BattleMech Manual to be released when the Harebrained Schemes game comes out.  Perhaps with the box set.  Maybe even a novel.  "Do you like the computer game?  Then here!  Buy this book, this box, this novel for more BattleTech goodness!"

I am just hoping they have fixed the problem with the store so they can upload 2nd war. Then maybe a new TRO would be nice especially Golden Century but not holding my breath at this point.

I think the BattleMech manual was pretty close to being done, so I would imagine it ought to be out next. As much as I want to see ilClan, I don't think there has been enough hype to suggest it is coming up next.

We don't know where CM: Davion is at the moment. I believe the last thing Ray mentioned was that it was waiting on some particular task to get finished up that wasn't ready when expected. So, it wasn't so much a case of, 'We decided to delay CM: Davion,' as it was, 'CM: Davion has managed to delay its self!'
