And I'm (Finally) Back.
Well that took far longer than I was anticipating. I am truly sorry about the extreme amount of downtime recently. Work went from 0 to shit the second I canceled my own server and guess who got to deal with it? That's right; me! Some of the stuff I've seen and dealt with over the past few weeks would make your hair stand on end if I could go into the details, which I cannot due to a non-disclosure agreement. What I can say is this; keep off-site backups of your important data, kiddies. Go buy an external hard drive and make backups right now if you have not done so already, goddamnit!
Anyway, enough of my babbling. I am currently working on restoring my site. Once the main page itself is back online, I will then work on restoring the forums. Once that happens, I will then restore the Hub. Expect to see some fairly big changes regarding how the forum and the like are run once everything is back online.

Cost-cutting, ho!
Just a heads up that the site will be going offline right towards the very end of this month as I migrate this site to an even cheaper server. I am doing this to save money because if I have to rent for another year instead of buying a refrigerator box to call my very own I am going to run into the nearest maternity ward and start throwing babies off the top of the building out of raw anger.
That and this server is a bit too much for my current needs so it stands to reason that saving money plus not crippling the site equals moderately neato.
Hopefully after this site move I can finally start updating this site again. Assuming I do not have another "promotion" dumped on me at work, that is.

Whoops.
My apologies for the recent downtime. I recently changed servers to save money and apparently a changed setting did not sit well with the default installation on the new server, which is what caused the error people had been seeing for... God only knows how long. I would have gotten to it sooner had I known about it but, well, when you work 40-60 hours a week and go to college as well, finding spare time is easier said than done. So just imagine my surprise when I got home from my vacation to France about an hour ago and tried to load this website!
There are still some weird issues going on that I will finally be addressing, as well as more normal issues like bringing the Hub back online, so if things start breaking again, scream or cry or pray or make more hand-made Obama bumper stickers or something and hopefully things will return to normal.
The forums are back online as of this time, at least. Sorry again for taking so long.
