I'm happy to report that the forum is finally back online after nearly a week. Unfortunately, all posts and other data was lost due to a series of hardware failures and no backups (the host claimed to do nightly backups but for whatever reason that option was never enabled on the server).

Everything should be pretty much the way it was, although the gallery will be returning later (I've opted to go to a more integrated gallery option this time rather than using an external system as we had before), and I haven't yet decided if I'm going to put a wiki back up since it wasn't used much to begin with.

Please let me know if you run into any problems or have any questions. Have fun!

The new gallery is live! Just click on "Media" in the menu to get started.

Hello again. I had to re-register and use a different password, but that's it.

Thank God I was going through Archie with drawal.

Awesome.  Glad to be back with y'all.  I missed you!

Good to see everyone again! Keep spreading the word and hopefully we'll get more people back soon.

I missed the forum! Glad it is back. It's too bad everything was lost though 
Hope it doesn't happen again.

It's unlikely such a thing will happen again. I'm with a different host now and am paying for an automated backup service.

What is the difference between this new gallery and the one before?

Two completely different systems. This one was written specifically as an add-on for the forum. The other one was a standalone gallery script that was integrated with the forum via a separate addon.

Welcome back

Hello, I'm back too! 

I'm here too.

Welcome back!! I was wondering what happened.

The gallery is gone. I'm in deep pain over this.

Yeah I was so used to going on this site everyday. I loved it. I never missed a day.
