Just to let people know, we're encountering a bit of a situation with the forum host. Service is slow or unresponsive to even giving errors at worst. The forum host currently is unsure what is going on. And there is no idea how long it will last, or what is even really going on.

My personal guess is a DDoS attack. (Distributed Denial of Service attack - where many computers request info from a server and flood it, blocking out legitimate users.) Though this is only a guess and has NOT been confirmed by Jcink or his staff.

EDIT- <a href='http://twitter.com/Jcink' target='_blank'>Jcink has confirmed</a> that it is another DDoS attack. As well he is working on getting it sorted out again.
