The good news: we have people who want to access the forums. This is good, if a bit out of character.
The bad news: we’ve had a number of people who have tried to sign up but have received messages about “Banned IP Addresses.” Rest assured, we love all of you, and your IP is probably not banned deliberately. Derek, our top-of-the-line webmaster, has been roused from his smoky Chicago office and is desperately scrambling to find the neural stimulyzer needed to repair our malfunctioning websoftware. We’ll let you know when it’s working; in the mean time, if you too have suffered from a banned IP address, let us know via the contact information conveniently located in the panel on your right.
This would be a good time to come hang out with us on Twitter. Just saying.
