Welcome back to the forums.
The last 8 days have been PURE HELL for us!
Our servers were hacked about 9 days ago as part of a MASSIVE attack on 25,000 servers in the USA.
This was a very aggressive, very destructive attack, and it has been WILDLY DIFFICULT for us to get back online.
Here is a little background info on the nature and scope of the attack.

To make a long ugly story short.
We had to bring up NEW servers and start from the beginning, and suffered 5 false starts in the process where the Hack was able to take down a server over and over and over again.
Today we were finally able to wrest FULL CONTROL over both our hardware, the OS, the ADMIN Software and finally the actual Forum Content.
In over 20 years of playing this game, this was by FAR and AWAY the worst hack I have ever had to deal with.!!
THANK YOU for being patient while we restored everything.
