I still don't know just what happened - the hacker script that was breaking the forum w/o accomplishing anything seems to have gone away in mid-April while no one was looking.  Then there were server shenanigans for the last month, possibly something the script did as a going-away present, possibly just because iFast, our hosting service, sux.

I'm trying to arrange for a migration to another host, fingers crossed.

I just wanted to observe here that the newest theme, Alpha Centauri, never had a good chance to catch on, what with our downage problems --- it's excellent; check it out, please.

The forum returned with some functionality.
