Just to give you an update, the Maccaspan board is hosted on Maccaspan.com, BUT all the account info and posts are kept on a database on phpBB.com. This is the message we got when
we went tho their website.
Ouch! RAID array failure…
We’re sad to announce that during the switch of a failed harddisk to the hot-spare and the planned 2 hours required for the array to re-sync, we’ve been hit by an extremely unexpected double-disk failure which leaves us with a dead array.
As the server needs to be rebuilt with a new set of harddisks and reconfigured, there will be a number of days of downtime whilst this holding page is up on a vserver and that the server failure can be recovered from with the existing phpBB.com website and data from our private CVS repositories restored. In the mean time, please direct yourself to our temporary support forums over at Area51.
Bertie probably shouldn’t have fed the server honey to see if that would make it feel better…
Cheers :(
Where does that leave us? For now the Maccaspan forum will be temporarly be running on its
old home at forumforfree until the main phpBB gets it's database going.
So you may have to re-register just to use the OLD board unless you can remember your old account (see, I told ya to use your old username!) All new accounts will be USER registered, so
you'll be posting in no time!
PS. The old board is just as slow as ever!

EDIT: Ok, the main board seems to be up and running for now!
