Hi all,
First of all, I know it has really sucked that our forum has been so up and down this offseason. Apologies for that. The reason has been discovered. It was due to some data corruption found in one of the database files. The resolution to that was upgrading the MySQL server version. As of 6:07 am CST on Monday morning, the upgrade was completed. Some of you might have noticed that the forum was down during that time and took longer than usually to come back up. This is the explanation for that and we should be more stable going forward.

Some of you have heard that we will be upgrading the forum version this summer and I am told that is still on track. More details on that as I find out.
