New forum is now live on the same URL here. It’s still somewhat incomplete but the basics are working fine. Please excuse any construction you see in the meantime. Aesthetic or usability suggestions are welcome. Bug/error reports too. Post them here or somewhere it’ll be noticed on the forums. Old forums can be found here.

    Yes, I noticed that the forum gets spammed pretty easily. I suspect its due to lack of the forced preview that keeps the comments in articles from being spammed.

    Anyways, I got rid of it. I’ll remind Sly to set you up with a mod login too.

    Uhh, I’m using Firefox and I’m not sure why, but I’m unable to post on that forum at all. >.< Whenever I click to reply or click to start a new topic, I just get booted back to the front page of the forum.
