Well, that was an interesting twelve hours. The forum should now be back up and running. Please don't hesitate to let us admins know if you run into any issues.
It's great to not see any ads here, even if only temporarily. After all, some of those ads had so much movement in them that I thought they might slow down someone's computer while that ad is visible. (I think this because I notice my computer gets a little noisy when I scroll down and see those kinds of ads, but when I scroll away from them the computer quiets down again)
