Here's the official statement:

As you can obviously tell, there are some real problems with the forum. The server failed and allowed a bunch of ad coding onto the site. the tech guys have been working to fix the issues, but more keep popping up. however, the good news is that this is sort of forcing the tech guys to hurry along with the new software upgrade.

Im sorry that its taken this long, as are the tech people, but they are doing their best to get the site repaired.

as for google, discussions are already underway to fix the issues that they have with the forums, as many many sites were hit with this server failure.

 

Thanks for the info don.
You should post this in the Off Topic forums , most peeps dont scroll down this far.

 

and I thought my data center blowing a transformer up was bad lol.

 

Thought about that, but a lot have been posting in here asking what's up and it's the correct place for it.

 

With the software upgrades are we going to be able to view the site from RSS viewers?

 

Dunno yet ... why, are you on a blackburger? Probably will have some compatability with RSS but that's just a guess. I'm in only slightly less darkness about this whole thing than you are

I do hear that it's gonna be good though ... so as always, we'll let you know stuff as we find out stuff. Until then please be patient.

 

Any reason you dont just change over to vBB? It isnt the most popular forum system for nothing.

I dont mean to be a jerk about it...
