If you've checked the forums in the last 24 hours, you may have noticed some... issues, to put it nicely.
Long story short, the host we were using for the forum updated some back-end software and wiped the forum. Entirely. And didn't backup the forum first.
So, we're having to start with a fresh slate. If you've signed up on the forum previously you'll have to do so again and unfortunately any posts that were made on it are now gone. I have migrated to a different host for the forum so that this won't happen again.
