English Invader Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 I found out about this earlier on today and it's very disheartening to hear after all the time they spent making the site more secure. Even more so for the people who devoted their time and energy to make it happen. Hopefully, it will all be sorted out and we'll have the forum back soon.
