Sorry for taking the board offline for so long. While doing some work around the forums yesterday, we saw some weird things that we wanted to do a some serious db maintenance on before they caused real issues.
Unfortunately, that meant putting the board into "closed" mode over night as it rebuilt the more than half a million posts.
I'll be moving a bunch of things around today -- so don't flood me with questions yet, but we're back up for now.

It was after 9 PM for me and nearing 17 hours of constant activity. Having the closed notice is much less stressful than server not found messages. I didn't want little square indentations on my forehead, anyway.

I like that there's a new area for discussions on articles in the mag and on the site. Coincidentally, I was just about to ask why they weren't there to begin with. Or maybe they were, and I was being oblivious (as I tell the ladies, "I'm a guy, oblivious sometimes happens").
