FAQs, rules, announcements, questions, suggestions, bugs, and test posts.

  1. Sticky thread Sticky: Countdown to Upgrade (I hope)

    Well, today was a hell of a day. The forum went through a little trauma that left it dead and seemingly irretrievable. Our ancient server died, and our new server spat on us for being too old. Which, okay, we are, softwarewise. Still, ageism is...

  1. Good Evening

    *banging pots and pans* Now that I have your attention Before I pitch my tent on your lawn answer me this. What is a Mellophant? I imagine it's how a deaf child would say elephant.

  9. Why does this board have server problems every night?

    For the last two weeks, possibly longer, every night between 9pm & 10pm EDST, the server refuses to connect. During that time I cannot even get to the Mellophant home page. Did I miss some sort of "daily maintenance" annoucement?
