Hey all,
I apologize for any inconvenience the extended outage of the website and/or forums has caused anyone. The hard drive on the server was losing sectors of data like a husky shedding its winter coat and it took me a couple of days to rebuild the site and recover the data off the failing drive not to mention getting the site back up and running. I couldn't find the time to get the forums back in action until now. Sorry about that. The good news is that the replacement drive is a bit faster than the old one and now I have a good excuse to finish off upgrading the site software this upcoming weekend. The upgrade should also include a newer, more firefox friendly version of the forums (although don't hold me to that as I haven't seen them in action as of yet). Sorry again about the downtime, I just wanted everyone to know what happened and why it took a bit longer to get things back up and running.
See everyone soon.
John S.
