Recently our hosting company decided to move us to a new, more powerful server without telling us. This caused us a few headaches as those of you who experienced the twilight zone are aware. Despite having a new, more powerful server things came grinding to a halt on Friday when this wonderful brand new machine decided to die. Our hosting company, with all of their expertise and wisdom in the field of web hosting some how kinda forgot to turn on back ups for this new server. Naturally we were far from happy about this as we have lost all of our information, stretching back to 2003! We are now back up and running on a new Australian based server, which means that the things should be a tiny bit quicker than the old server. We have also switched to a new forum software which seems to be a bit more secure and stable than the phpBB software we were using previously.

What this means is that everyone will need to sign up and start from scratch again.

Special thanks once again going out to Oli for his time and assistance in getting this new setup online!

Apologies to anyone who had to do work during our downtime, and sorry to anyone who has lost any information from the old board - we are just as, if not more, annoyed than you about the loss.

ps: please check the Help + Feedback thread for some handy info to get you up and running on the new board.
pps: promoters please check the ATTN: Promoters thread for info on how to get your events online.
Its not a trick, its an illusion! A “trick” is something a whore does for money... or candy!
