I'd like to apologize on behalf of the moderator/admin staff for the recent forum downtimes. It's very inconvenient, as all of us like to get our daily dosis of mapcore, but when the host decides to pull the plug - we are as helpless as you are, yet it's no reason to freak! Right now we can only assume that the downtimes are caused by a server side trojan, which the provider is trying to get rid of. For more information on this please visit this thread.
Most importantly don't panic and be sure that you are not the only one having trouble to access the board. Mikezilla (the handsome stud who pays the bills in case you don't know) has been informed about the situation and will either a) move the forums to a different host or b) at least find out more details on what's going on. I don't know yet when this is going to happen, I hope relatively soon. In the meantime please be patient, this might have very well not been the last time the forums are inaccessible, just check them on a daily basis and relax until they are back to full speed. The admin staff will inform you about new information as soon as it becomes available.
Thanks!
