Welcome Back!
« on: November 06, 2008, 11:14:12 PM »
Welcome back everyone, I hope you enjoyed your vacation  :icon_cool:

As you can see the site is back up and running.... sort of. There are still obviously some things to do before the forum and front page are mostly operational again and we have successfully moved to a new (and as far as we can tell better) host.

Please excuse the mess that you'll find, it will still be a little while before everything is done, but at the moment most of the key functions of the forum should be intact.

Same. You would think being on the forum at work would stop work, however I struggled to do ANYTHING while it was gone.

Huzzah! Glad we're back in business. A few guys remembered the Marienburg forum, which was still running the whole time, but there's nothing like the original. Hopefully the new host will prove to be of a less... marienburgish style when it comes to making money.

Ignore my topic about this in the town square, but I can't tell you how relieved I am that the forum is back up.

For one thing, it'll save on my phone bill...

What a strange phenomenon... I noticed the exact same thing...  I'm glad everything is back up and running again.

Great to see us back on air. Not that I would've doubted Calvin's ability to fix things, of course. I knew it would've happened eventually. Everything seems stable and clear now, I suppose?

Actually, try going without it for 3 months, not knowing what's wrong. ;)
