So 8-23-14 1or2 am till 6am the forums were completely down for me any link or form of access was a redirect to 'netfirms' "the site is temporarily unavailable"
a few hours later the forums are back up (ish) the 'view new posts' link continuing to be a redirect to netfirms.
Many hours later this remains to be the case.
Please note all times are approximate guesstimation....
any one else having any sort of issues or is it just me? should i attempt to fix by smacking parker around?
