Hi, I saw the link to Isaac's QuestWriter website on his page and I went to click on it, but when I did all I got was a message saying the website wasn't available. Has it been taken down? Has it been moved? What's happened?

Wouldn't open for me either, so I went on a quest for you.
So, First, I looked up the Site, giving me almost nothing except some paper writing service. No dice.
Then, I pulled up the Wayback Machine and searching there revealed it did indeed exist: https://web.archive.org/web/20180805101948/http://questwriter.com/
In the About/Updates Tab, the first update reveals an old site: http://gamebooks.magicandwires.com, also dead. The dice haven't stopped rolling, however, because a google search reveals these two reviews:
https://nothingbutgeek.com/2017/11/first-look-questwriter-new-favorite-choose-adventure-stories-game/ https://nothingbutgeek.com/gaming/browsergames/
The latter is a glitchy mess, but the former tells us that "magic and wires" is actually the author's name.
Let's google it! What do you know, it works! https://magicandwires.com let's just click and... oh, there's nothing there.
but, the second result is a link to Reddit https://www.reddit.com/user/magicandwires where we have proof he is at the very least alive.
Reading through Reddit, It seems he has made a lot of browser games, almost all of which he shut down to go be with his family. D'aww.
The only one left is https://titanconquest.com/, which actually looks remarkably similar to QuestWriter and may actually be it.
And with that, our quest is complete: QuestWriter either died long ago when Isaac's partner left the project or is now called Titan's quest.
That's very well researched Randy, well done! What a shame about the site being taken down though.
