The forum is going through a major upgrade. It has been moved to new server and database. Unfortunately, some of the database tables were lost during the migration, so we will have start anew. We lost nearly 15 years of post from the old forum. I tried to recovery it, but was unable to even after trying to restore a backup from a month and half ago. I have not been able to upgrade the forum software for over a year now because of the age of the server. The new software wasn't compatible. We are going in a different direction with new forum software. Hopefully, this will reduce some of the spam. The forum maybe down at times for the next couple of days as we work out bugs and add new features.
Lee Lawson will be in charge of the forum, and he will assign the moderators.
Everyone will have to register again, as all user information were lost too.
