Hi All,

Sorry the forum was down. We've been dealing with a malware infestation. Working on updating security to avoid it in the future and protect all of you. Unfortunate side effect was accidentally taking the forum down. Hope it won't happen again. If it does, please drop an email to me to make sure I notice and can deal with it.

Thanks for understanding...

You threw the baby out with the bathwater...
You went in to sanitize the house with a flamethrower...
You decided the best practice to deal with the infestation in the village is to eliminate all the villages...

Don't apologize. Be proud.
It is a time for drastic solutions that are proven to work. :azalin:

Dealing with more malware aftermath again. Forum is back up but very very slow to respond. Wiki is down for the time being. Working on repair with hosting company. Hoping for improvement by tomorrow. Thanks for your patience.

Forum and wiki are both back! Praise Ezra, the Lawgiver, Hala, Zhakhata, and the whole Eternal Order and then some.

IMPORTANT: Part of the issue with the forum was that some of the corrupted code was still in my own browser's cache, after I fixed the server. That was causing the forum to go haywire every time I tried to check if I'd fixed it. There's no guarantee that this broken code isn't out there somewhere in one of your cache's, waiting to do the same. THERE IS NO DANGER TO YOUR DEVICE. BUT PLEASE, IF YOU CAN READ THIS, CLEAR YOUR BROWSER CACHE ONCE BEFORE READING THE FORUM ANY FURTHER. Thank you. We now return you to your regularly scheduled tortures....

Thank you so much for keeping this place running, Ron.
(And yes, I have thrown out my cache.)
