As you all know, we are experiencing lots of technical issues lately with the site.

The site has been hacked and exploited a number of times, due to some old "security holes" we have in it.

The data on the site has not been compromised, but the hackers used our mail server to spam other sites with advertisements, which led to site being shut down by our hosting company, again and again.

The only thing I can do is to upgrade the software that runs the forums and the site- and I've already started to work on it.

I will migrate the forum to a commercial forum software, called vBulletin- it's top of the line forum software, much faster, and way more advanced than the current one.

I'll do everything I can to make sure no data is loss during the upgrade- posts, threads, profile information, images, etc.

I've already started working on a migration script... lots of work, but- I hope to get it over within a week or so. Again, truly sorry for the problems.
