Website Status

I noticed even History's forums are not as active of late.

And true story, we had a new version of this website ready to go last year, hit a snag with making the forum accounts work with other parts of the site, and then Wade's webhost ate it all when it crashed. Neither of us had good backups. It makes me sad.

WadeJ:
How about for now, we simply get the forums upgraded to the latest SMF boards so that we can re-open registration and not deal with bots?  I know it will mess up the front page and we'll need to disable it but at least then user accounts, passwords and all threads can be saved and the boards can be unlocked again.

edit - BTW Jerry, fix your avatar so that it doesn't take 30 seconds to finish loading the page lol
