There's a possibility I will need to temporarily shut down the forums in the near-ish future. Yeah - I know, sucky.

The thing is this is still an old, unsupported and ultimately insecure version of PHPBB in the backend. My hosting provider is trying to do a security audit and sweep of their systems, and they've identified older versions of PHPBB as being one of their targets. Not that I think there are any major issues in our install, but I don't know that I can justify it to them.

In any case, it will force me to move ahead with my project for bringing back kkthxbye for forums and game blogging and such, and archiving EQII.com and VanguardLive.com for posterity. I plan on making the archives static and very searchable, and I'm going to ~try~ to make the old urls work as much as I can.

So, if you see a note about VanguardLive being temporarily unavailable, do not fret, I'm working! Smile

Hopefully they wont get shut down for very long - and its possible it may not happen at all - but I just wanted to warn you guys. I'm going to work on the new forum this weekend - thats first priority. Then, it will be working on archiving these old forums.

Thats what the new site will be, really. Thinking more general forums with some community blogging on top.

No, everybody must guess the url, because there's just too much commotion here and we need to trim down the number of active members.
