As some of you may have noticed, the vBulletin forum that the site automatically redirects to has crashed and gone boom, like certain failed Mars probes.
The site was running a very old version of vBulletin and may have been hacked/died of old age or had something else happen to it. I am not a database expert so the investigation is akin to a surgeon using boxing gloves. Except the surgeon is not really a surgeon, he’s just an intern.
Nonetheless, the site should now redirect to this WordPress blog which will at least provide updates on this undesirable situation.
Further updates soon™.

I’d be okay with going to a pure WordPress blog format, provided we can lock it down enough to prevent bot posting, but allowing members can post and comment.
Oh, I could easily create a new forum. In fact, I already have! I’ve been less successful in importing the data from the existing vBulletin installation, but I have a few more things to try before giving up.
