It seems we have been hacked. Vince tells me that the outdated phpBB version allowed a hacker in, and then the hosting service's security measures were triggered. You may find you cannot access your user control panel, or your PMs. Worst of all, if you log out, you cannot log back in. Keep those cookies!
He tells me that over the next two weeks he will sort it all out.

And everything has been cleaned up and fixed, after a weekend of work by Vince. Please check out everything out and try a few posts to test it out. I tried to send out a mass e-mail notifying the members, but I didn't get it; did anyone else?

The last two days you may have found a 503 error when trying to access the forum. Turns out our database is large enough that an upgrade to CPU and RAM on the server had to be bought. Vince came to the rescue again! If anyone feels like contributing, there's a link on the
home page.

Cloudflare protection added. You will probably see a page (and possibly an "I am human" captcha) before the forum loads.
Thank you, Vince!
