Or has the new forum just majorly shat itself? What's going on?
Edit:
Hijacking your post Art,
The main forums are down, and this thread has what I know about the situtation. For the time being I've brought these forums back and we can figure out what's going on from there.

I wasn't able to get on past 4 pm yesterday. Now I get a 404 error. I heard there was a power outage that caused major server issues.

Same, but it's not like the old forums couldn't use a bit of attention. There are some great posts here.

Not just you guys. I don't know what's up yet but I'm looking into it.
From what I can tell it looks like the forum software shat itself, forums.fstdt still goes to the same place, it just doesn't actually... work.
I may be cleaning out the spam from this place and recovering it. But hey, it ain't called the Refugee board for nothing. If the old board isn't back up by tomorrow I'll probably change the forum link back to this place till I talk to Keiro.

Well, I'm prepping for a return to this forum, what with pruning the spam and all.
I think it's clean now, if not, report it and I'll kill it. Think I'm going to add a link to this old place on the mainpage so people can at least talk to each other while this works out.

This board looks so... nostalgic.
I haven't been able to access the board since last night, actually. The server connection timed out, every single time. I only received an error message when I tried to connect to the forums this morning.

So what are we going to do about a lack of a NSFW section?

So what are we going to do about a lack of a NSFW section? Nada, one of the bigger reasons for the switch was me being completely sick of take down notices and whining. Last time Keiro happened to offer to host a new forum(without ads) the same day I got a take down notice so I went with it. Those forums just poofed so this time I've opted to start ignoring any whining on the nsfw subject. If you need porn, there's an internet out there somewhere that should suffice. |

Sorry if I overlooked something, but is there any word on how long we'll be here? I'm just wondering if we're doing a permanent switch back to Proboards.

If I don't hear anything it'll be permanent. But right now I'm waiting to hear from Keiro as he was hosting the other forums.
If the software was completely trashed we may be here a few days, if it's something else we may not be going back at all. But regardless may as well settle in.

Being on this forum makes me feel like I'm wearing a fat suit.
So....awkward!
